Male vs. Female

[Okamidna]

i base mine on their appearances really, but in platinum i just used what i had. i ended up with:
leafeon~male
lucario~male
togekiss~male
ho-oh~ n/a
palkia~ n/a
umbreon~ male

I tedn to prefer female because maybe it's just I'm a guy; but girls tend to be a lot more helpful for me. A lot of friends think it's just that I like girls too much or something to that extent. Though in reality, female pokemon become my stronger and most powerful pokemon all the time.

Though for some pokemon, I just have to have them as a guy because of how they connotate in my mind.

I don't care what gender my teams are (though it's much easier to nickname males). Somehow, though, my teams usually end up being four males, two females. I don't know how. The only time I've actively searched for a specific gender was for a male Tranquill in White recently, because I knew that the male Unfezant looked much nicer.

 

[Amudrasil]

I prefer female Pokemon at the start of games (for ease of breeding), but after I get a Ditto it doesn't really matter.
Well, it does matter for Egg Moves. I guess I go to preferring males then (after Ditto) ^^;

 

[jda95]

Female. It's easier to breed and also, due to the slightly larger abundance of males, it makes attract work better.

 

[Touko~]

I prefer Female Pokemon and 99% of my Pokemon are female. XD

 

[.vulpixie]

I always hope for male, but I'm not bothered if the Pokémon turns out to be female.

 

[Sweet Veil]

It's weird for some yes Girly Pokemon like Munna and Snivy yeah. But Pokemon like Pikachu, Oshawott, and Tepig male is what I go for. It's weird thinking a Munna could have a you-know-what.

 

[Politoed666]

I literally never notice a Pokemon's gender, unless I'm doing a mass breeding project and I happen to see that nineteen out of the twenty Squirtles I hatched are Male. It's sort of interesting, but I wouldn't say I care.

For breeding purposes, I always use a Ditto, so it doesn't matter what gender my Pokemon are.

 

[Dragonfly]

I tend to go for males because I like really aggressive names like "Hellfire". It just seems weird in my mind to name a female that. So I pick up males when possible and/or convenient.

As for breeding, I just use a Ditto.

 

[city]

I always prefer a male pikachu, just because I don't like the females' tale.

 

[Tripleton]

I forgot about the form differences in opposite genders. ^.^

 

[Tsareena]

It really depends on what the Pokemon is for me.
I see some Pokemon as masculine and some as feminine and will prefer to catch them based on how I see them.
Such as a female Altaria or Gardevoir or Milotic,
but I prefer a male Steelix, Scrafty, or Houndoom, for example.

 

[HexagonStephen]

For me, it depends on the Pokemon. And what I'm going to nickname it.

 

[Rip Van Winkle]

It depends on what I plan to nickname the pokemon
I planned on getting a Krookodile and nicknaming it Rippy
so I looked for a female

etc

 

[Aur]

It really depends on the pokemon, but most of the time I look for a female, as I am one.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Depends of the pokémon. For example, I can't accept a female Scrafty or Rhyperior or a male Medicham or Munna.

 

[OmigawdMatt]

It depends on if the Pokemon likes like a male or female. If I can't tell then it can be any. Yes, a female Machamp would be odd.

 

[Data_Error]

Depends on what I feel like having on my party when I plan it out or get it - I don't really lean too far toward either preference.

 

[Trainer G]

I see so many stereotypes here that it kind of irritates me.
I really don't care is the Popé I'm going to catch either female or male. Actually I like it, if I get some "masculine-like" Pokémon as a female or the opposite. Break the standards, dudes!
