    I would have to say it is basically because when you think of a nurse you think girl...but that is the best answer I have to ur question...

    though in the older hows they did have a male doctor once, I remember that!!! He was a doctor for humans...

    I'd say stereotype. And the whole Nurse Joy family thing, I guess Nurse Joy needs no help eh?

    Well they're stereotyping but there's probably many reasons as to why there aren't male nurses (e.g. Nurses have usually been female and in wars in the past, the nurses were generally females, so a female nurse healing a wounded slodier, in this case a pokemon only makes sense.) It would be awesome if they had male nurses though. Give them a male body, shorter hair, wax it back and change the pink to blue.

    It could just be that males would be ashamed to be nurses.

    Like in the Simpsons, when Marge's father was an air hostess... a similar thing would have been done with Pokemon to teach boys they shouldn't play girls roles or something. It's kinda stupid, but yeah, it would be weird even to have a male nurse.

    Uhm, how would males be ashamed? Sure, they obviously couldn't become doctors but same thing goes for females. Watching SCRUBS makes me wanna be a DUDEnurse. Then again, I don't know any guys that wanna be nurses. That's because they don't watch SCRUBS.

    Yeah but based on the stereotypes; they imply that the males would be embarrased.

    I remember nurse Joy, who is most definitely (probably?) female.
    if joy was male theyd be implyin that brock is gay...and that makes all the other females he drools over male.(unless hes bi of course.;))

    I personally think male nurses would suck!
    It would just change the old Pokémon too much.
    This is my opinion.

    the reason why is....it would be creepy to have male nurses plain as that ._.

    Creepy in Pokemon or in General? I don't think there's anything wrong with male nurses really.

    Maybe though it's because a Pokemon Centre runs differently to a human hospital? So nurses in a Pokemon Centre are like doctors to us and the Chanseys are more like what we would consider a nurse. Just a theory (if it makes any sense...)
