    Have you ever gotten a female starter Pokemon? It's a very rare occurrence considering the odds are 8 males to 1 female.

    I have before. I think I had a female Piplup at some point?
     
    My Chikorita in SoulSilver (Sidney, because at that point in my life I was apparently giving my Pokemon random human names I thought sounded good), my Snivy in Black 2 (Sera, because it sounds like serpent), and my Eevee in Let's Go (Evie :B). I actually thought, for a while, that they changed Eevee's gender ratio to 50/50 in that game (it'd make sense, to show off the new heart-tail), but apparently it's the same as always, so I guess it counts!
     
    Since I've played through Pokémon BW/BW2 a bajillion times and always chose Tepig, I've had a few female Tepigs, which I found to be a bit akward with Emboar being so stereotipically "manly" and whatnot, but yeah apart from that I think it's time they change it to 50/50. I'm guessing the odds are what they are cuz Pokémon was targeted at young boys who were in their "girl-hating" phase (? or maybe I'm just spouting nonsense), but so many girls nowadays enjoy Pokémon too that I can't think of a good reason to leave it as it is.

    It's actually to make it harder to breed your starter Pokemon (because breeding a male and female Pokemon will always produce an egg of the female Pokemon), seeing as they're supposed to be these super-rare Pokemon you only get one of per playthrough.

    I wouldn't mind if they changed it, though - if somebody really wants to breed it, they'll just get a Ditto (which is easier than it's ever been in the days of WiFi trading), so there's not a whole lot of point.

    Nah, all gift Pokemon (Eevee family/most Fossils/starters/Togepi family/Munchlax family/Lucario) are all this way so it's harder to breed them. I don't think it has anything to do with Pokemon's demographic.

    I can't see this gender ratio ever changing, though.
     
    My Litten in Moon turned out female. She grew up to be a bodybuilding, cage-fighting tiger Amazon.😄
    I also got a female Bulbasaur once on FireRed.
     
    only once that i can recall, and that's snivy in my b2w2 second playthrough that i'm putting on hold as of the moment. kinda nuts how low the probability is for a female starter. @_@
     
    I have, in fact, had a history of female starters! I will be surfacing the ones I've gotten in nuzlockes I've done! I don't think Ive ever gotten a non male starter in regular play

    - Gen8. I have picked all starters at least once, and Sobble was the only one I didn't get a female out of.

    - The Torchic I received in my fire red omega nuzlocke ended up being female, as did my one in azure horizons nuzlocke as my starter. Both of them managed to evolve into Blaziken.

    - In my 2nd glazed nuzlocke, I somehow ended up with a female Treecko. Too bad it died as a Grovyle against a Beldam...

    - I got 2 female Quilava in both my fire red advanced nuzlocke and as a starter in my complex crystal nuzlocke. Both of them died loooong before they could hit their final evo...

    - My fire red advanced nuzlocke was pretty lucky with female starters as a whole! My actual starter ended up being female as well. The only given out starter that was male was the Bulbasaur I only received to get a leaf stone for my actual Grass mon.

    - I caught a female Charmander in my onyx blue nuzlocke I did last year. She evolved into Charizard and made it to the end of the game, still alive.

    - I also believe I got a female Venusaur in one of my randomisers.

    - The kanto black nuzlocke I did last year had a female starter as well and that's my trademark deathless nuzlocke so...

    - I think I got 2 female starters in 2 diferrent gen6 runs I did years ago.

    And almost all of these were on the first try.
     
    Yep. Matter of fact I have female starters in two of my current runs - a Pignite in White 2 and a Rillaboom in Shield. I also had a female Incineroar in a Fire Monotype on Ultra Sun.
     
    I got a female Litten in Ultra Sun and a female Popplio in Ultra Moon. I didn't even have to soft reset for either of them.
     
    I'm pretty sure I had bunch of female starters, but only remember few. I was able to get shiny female Popplio in Ultra Moon. I'm pretty sure my first Chikorita in Silver was also female. I think I got female Snivy at least once in BW or B2W2. And I got female Pikachu in Let's GO, when I tried it for like an hour.
