Male or Female Pokemon
« on: December 16, 2011, 03:58:25 AM »
Which did u catch and train?
Male only, female only, or both?

I have always used males, it's like a tradition thing lol.
Guys use male pokemon, and girls use female pokemon.

I caught females only to help fill up the pokedex.

How is that tradition?
Sure, I play as the Boy, but I don't usually care which gender the Pokes are. There is no real big difference in it anyway.

Every NPC in the game uses the same gender, i was joking about it being a tradition.
It just doesn't feel right too me.

Idk, there are some pokemon that feel better as male and some that feel better as female.  But for the most part I don't really care.

I would prefer to run female, as Attract is very annoying and most people run it on female pokes.

This I'll agree on. I do for some weird ass reason ALWAYS get a Female Torchic in Emerald (The few times I actually choose Trochic). But I feel that a Female Blaziken are just wrong D:

Now that you mention it, back in the days of Pokemon Gold and Silver (The originals), I used to always go for male pokemon instead of female. IDK why, it was the same either way, but I did.

Back in the day female pokemon couldn't have max attack.  It was changed in later gens but, that's the strange truth.

(Silent Sexism)

I didn't even know that back then, so...

Yeah.
And.
Stuff.
And.
Things...

Basically, for whatever reason, I always caught male pokemon instead of female. I actually remember doing the same thing in FireRed.

I went into Viridian Forest. First pokemon I see? SHINY WEEDLE!

*Checks gender*

"Female...Maybe I can find another one."

*Runs away, and continues to spend the next 5 days trying to find a Male Shiny Weedle*

I ended up restarting my game, and found ANOTHER Shiny female Weedle in the same spot. Again, didn't catch it.

I just catch whatever I find I want. There is an exception for those moments when pokémon like sneasel/snover/etc appear, then I catch the gender which design I like the best. ~

 Usually gender doesn't matter in that aspect. If it seems to have more stats, it is because of the IVs. Anyways I just catch whatever comes my way, except for the Nidos. There it really matters which you chose, since Nidoking has better Attack and Nidoqueen has better Defense. Since I like my Nidoking, that's the only Pokémon I will always care about the gender.
It's ghost dammit, GHOST!
