Female Starters, OH MY!

[PIKACHU DOES KUNGFU!]

Has anyone ever gotten a female starter? For the first time ever, I restarted my Platinum game (like, the sixth time tho xD) and I started with Piplup (like I always do xD) and got it in female form! SO NOW I CAN MAKE ALL NEW PIPLUP BABIES. xD Anyone ever have this, with Chimchar or Turtwig? (:

 

[Gimmepienow]

Yeah, female starters are rare, only 12% I think, correct me if I'm wrong. On a play-through of Pearl I got a female Turtwig.

 

[Cold Fusion]

Yes, I have had a female Turtwig before, on my Pearl game after my DS ran out of battery in the middle of the introduction thingy (Because I didn't see it was red, stupid me!) then I charged it and WALA! A female Turtwig...

 

[Shiny Shaymin]

No, but my best friend got a female Chimchar as a starter.

 

[PIKACHU DOES KUNGFU!]

That's cool. I'd pay big bucks for a female Chimchar. I don't know why. Or a shiny Chimchar. O_o; That'd be pretty epic. :3

 

[KennethXEcker]

I always thought that the starters gender was based on the gender you chose for your character...

 

[PIKACHU DOES KUNGFU!]

No, it's on a percentage. Like Gimmepienow said, I think it's a 12% rate that you can get a female starter, and a 88% rate you can get a male starter. Obviously, male is much more common. Getting a female starter is like winning the lottery. There isn't much of a chance, but still possible.

I don't think I've ever gotten a female starter :S

 

[Xebelleon]

I most always soft reset for female starters.
The only exceptions are with the Johto ones as I have yet to own from HGSS
and the Gamecube shadow games are so boring I only soft reset in XD for
the later few shadows I like. I don't soft reset for the Emerald option.

 

[Sydian]

I think I've had a female of almost every starter. I always SR for female starters...except in DP. None of those look feminine at all, and besides, I rarely use the Sinnoh starters anyway. Anyway, congrats on your female Piplup. It's a girl!

edit; Oh yeah. In SoulSilver, I was overexcited and forgot to save before getting my starter, so my Typhlosion's a boy. Same thing with my Umbreon. xD Don't let it happen to you!!

 

[PIKACHU DOES KUNGFU!]

I may sound stupid, but what does soft reset mean? xD I'm not up to date with the Pokemon lingo now-a-days. :p

I was pretty happy when I found out my Piplup was a girl. I don't usually care, but when I saw the pink female sign by it's name, I clapped my hands for like five seconds. Haha. I have my spazzes. xD

 

[DestinyBender]

Yeah, I have got a female Piplup, and in SS, I got a female Cyndaquil. Lucky me.

 

[PIKACHU DOES KUNGFU!]

That's pretty sick. A female Cyndaquil? I would have thought that Chikorita is more of a female looking Pokemon. Cyndaquil looks more of a male looking Pokemon.. Does that make sense? lmfao.

 

[IcyArceusRider]

Oh, that's happened to me before!

The first time it happened was in Ruby Version when I started with a Torchic and got a female. I've also gotten a female Charmander in FireRed Version, and a female Turtwig in Platinum Version! And all of these female starters just randomly appeared, the first time I started the game. I didn't really try to get them. It's always fun to get female starters for me. It's something different.

I may sound stupid, but what does soft reset mean? xD I'm not up to date with the Pokemon lingo now-a-days. :p

Soft reset is when you press all the buttons at once and make the game reset itself. :) At least, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

I remember getting a female Charmander once. I was literally uber ecstatic. I was bouncing off the walls and telling my parents why I was so hyper. It was HYSTERICAL.

 

[Masara]

Treecko and Mudkip in Emerald and Squirtle in LeafGreen are the only female starters I've gotten. :<
I used to dislike the idea of my starter Pokemon being a gal, but now I'm all for it. xD; In fact, I'm hoping to get a female Totodile when I get HeartGold.

 

[Rainflower]

I have a female Piplup and Charmander before in my old Pearl and LG games respectively. XD

Oh, and my brother also got a female Chikorita (well, this isn't surprising for me though.) in his HeartGold.

Starter's gender doesn't really matter though, but a female Feraligatr or Infernape would be quite interesting.

 

[:3]

I always get female starters.. And I really don't like it.
I don't know why, but I like having teams of Male Pokemon.

I only started that when they started showing the Male and Female symbols though. Like in Yellow, I didn't even care.
But I don't like seeing blue, blue, blue, PINK, blue, blue. It just really bothers me, and for some reason when one of my Female pokemon dies, I feel bad.

I was actually playing Explorers of Sky today and when Zubat pushed down Vulpix for her relic fragment, I was all like, 'YOU JERK!' :p

HAHAHA, THAT MADE ME LAUGH. xD I love getting female starters - I hardly do. Whenever I do, it makes me happy. :)

I believe on my Diamond my Torterra is a female, it was random though, I was pretty happy! But on Platinum I have a male Torterra, I just like my team consisting of males, I don't know why, I just do.
