    In just three days many of us will be starting our journey in the Kalos Region! As always we will be prompted to choose our gender. Now I've seen many people "Gender Bend" in these Pokémon games recently, in which they choose the opposite gender protagonist. ;)

    So which protagonist will you be playing as? Will it be Serena or Calem?
     
    I usually pick the male protagonist on my first playthrough. Now with X/Y, i was going to pick the female because Calem looked way too generic, but after seeing the many and diverse customization options, i´m going to pick him after all (:
     
    I will go with Serena!
    I usually take the female character because I feel awkward playing a guy (that is as long as there's an option)
    Although - I do usually take the male character in FR/LG because I simply can't get used to the female characters hat. 3:
    Anyway - for X/Y it's most certainly Serena for me!
     
    Serena! I've always picked my gender, although I was a little tempted this generation to go male with the customization. Either would be fun to play and decorate with, but I'm going to have my trainer represent me.
     
    Well i've gender bended quite a few times, namely in my side games. Although I played as myself in my main White 2 game, so I kinda feel I should do that in whichever one I make my main game here. But I do like that female character...so i'm not completely settled on either yet for my main game.

    Maybe i'll play as myself in my main game and play as the girl in the other if I do a Nuzlocke or something; we'll see.
     
    I will picking and playing as Calem because of the customization options that are offered in the game. If it wasn't for that and they both were generic I would probably pick Serena.
     
    i going with male. because the customize they add into the game
     
    sticking with male i don't see any real reason besides preference so far doesn't seem like there is any differences so just sticking with the dude
     
    I will be doing what I always do, play a male character in one game, and a female in the other
     
    Well, I think it's always better for the gaming experience to choose character that best ressembles you, so I'm going with Xavier (planning on costumizing it a lot, though, too bad I don't think we'll be able to choose hoodies).

    Btw I'm surprised that so many people still don't know about Xavier and Yvonne after all this time...
     
    Xavier is what Calems name was better known as pre-release media, same goes for Serena/Yvonne.

    I know that but I never got to understand why, since it's been pretty clear for a long time in the official website that Serena/Calem is the name of the rival.
