Male, female, does it matter?

[Sydian]

Do you have a certain preference of what gender you want some (or all) your Pokemon to be? For me, it just depends on the Pokemon. Feminine looking Pokemon (like Umbreon, Gardevoir, Lopunny) I prefer female, as well as with starter Pokemon. Otherwise, I really don't care.

 

[fastfro]

I really never cared. I use to attempt to get both male and female of each pokemon. I gave that up quickly... Now im back to not caring considering I cant read the text in the game im playing now XD

 

[Hatenko]

I tend to have alot of gender exclusives in my party now (Vespiquen, Gallade), but I typically tend to go for whatever the Pokemon looks like. If it's dainty, tiny, petite, graceful, well shaped, etc., I tend to go for the females. Like a male Gardevoir, that's just wrong.

 

[Timbjerr]

It makes no difference to me, but I generally prefer my favorite pokemon to share the same gender as me. :P

I am rather picky about my Roserade being female when I restarted my Pearl game awhile back though. :P

 

[Princess Pichu]

Depends what I name it. I like to name my characters. So, it depends on the character.

 

[T3h Kaiser]

It depends on the Pokemon.

I'm also pretty picky about gender diversity; I don't like the idea of having an all male party. No Pokemon team of mine is gonna be no sausage fest.

 

[Logiedan]

I prefer using their most likely gender. Or if I don't know their gender,keep it as whatever it is.

 

[Caelus]

I prefer my Pokemon to be males, but if the Pokemon looks feminine (Roserade, for example), then I'll get a female instead.

But in the end I guess it doesn't really matter.

 

[joehat]

It definitely matters to me. I just can't have a male Lopunny or Gardevoir, it doesn't seem right.

Pokemon that I have a tough time imagining a male counterpart of:

Gardevoir
Lopunny
Ninetales
Rapidash
Ledyba, Ledian
Bellossom
Sunflora
Sneasel, Weavile
Beautifly
Skitty, Delcatty
Mawile
Medicham
Altaria
MILOTIC
Cherrim
Glameow, Purugly

The list for male's only would be like 3 times as long...Some notables like Alakazam and Machamp...Agh....Female Machamp......Ah..

 

[poopnoodle]

I just...don't care. Whatever can get me through the game.

 

[Rainflower]

it all depends on my player character gender. if i chose female player, then the majority of the party should be female and vice-versa. XD

 

[ShivaDF]

I used to want all my Poke'mon female, but I changed my mind when I realized that it was a stupid idea and now look at me with my awesome MALE Blaziken and all that jazz. ^_^
Most of my Poke'mon are female, though.

 

[Citrinin]

To be honest, I don't really pay attention to gender in game. :P

 

[sabapple]

Most of my team is male, the only times I have a female on my team is if I feel the Pokemon shouldn't be male, like Milotic,

 

[Cheesymitten]

I didn't like it when my starter pokemon turned out to be a girl,
Later on in life i realised i needed the female pokemon X3
And then i never got that female starter again =(
But i usually never pay attention to the genders...

 

[Idiomorph]

I usually run with whatever gender my best hatchling happens to have... I had difficulty thinking of my Breloom and Flygon as female at first, but now I have trouble with the reverse proposition!

 

[Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty]

I never really thought about it until I read somewhere that you're more likely to come across male Pokémon as a female trainer and visa-versa. Then I took a look at all of my Pokémon, and realised they are all boys. XD So I would like a girl Pokémon one day, if only to break the chain. o.o

 

[Cherrim]

I don't normally have a preference. I actually kind of like when my girly Pokemon are female and vice versa. xD;

But... I ALWAYS have to have a female Pichu to train to a Raichu in every game. In my Diamond version, my very first Cherrim had to be male. In Platinum, my Cherrim needed to be female. Actually, in Platinum, all of my Pokemon were female except my Vaporeon but that was okay because it was named Jeef. Oh, and any Nosepass/Probopass I have has to be female. It's just weird otherwise. ♥

For the most part, I don't care about genders though.

 

[Charmageddon]

The only time I've bothered about gender is when I was looking for a female Budew, because I wanted to call it Cordelia. But apart from that, I don't care.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

For the most part, either gender is fine. However, I insist on (a) a female Persian and (b) a mix of male/female/genderless overall.
