I only catch male Pokemon too. . .

 

Good to know I'm not alone lol, I just don't want to see that pink symbol by a Pokemon like Tyranitar.

What are you saying, bruh

Training your badass Dragonite in a Gen 1 game to 100, giving it the best moves, and a cool, masculine nickname before transferring it into a Gen 2 game to discover it's actually a female is priceless.

LOL

 

I remember I had caught a Onix once and thought they were genderless for the longest till I randomly saw the female sex symbol and went. 

 

". . . How the f*ck is that a girl!?" 

 

Such manly and Rocky features yet it's a girl. Wat.

I, for one, never doubted Gardevoir could be male.

Heck, its japanese name is Sirknight. SUCH A MANLY NAME.

If only it was possible, I'd have a male Gardevoir and a female Gallade just for laughs.

Lmfao that'd be the most backwards relationship I'd ever seen

So...I just need to say this: I was mainly joking, using the word sexist, but the resulting conversation which has followed is the flawed thinking that has pervaded the gaming industry since it's early inception.  I am not 12 anymore (nor when I was 12 did I have this view), so I don't think things that are inherently "boy-looking" must be boy, I simply only catch male pokemon, no deep reason why.

 

I am not a mod, but I am just encouraging that before you say the things that followed my statement, you think long about how a person of the opposite view of you would feel.  I will never agree that Tyranitar should be a boy only pokemon, nor Aggron, nor Machamp or any other "masculine" pokemon.  Pokemon is for all genders, and I think it has taken steps over the years to integrate that idea well, with both UI and supporting characters.

 

Sorry to get serious, I just wanted to clarify my view before continuing this.

[Aaron]

If people get sensitive about something as small as me talking about the gender of a Pokemon then they got their priorities in the wrong place.

 

Figured I needed to say my view on it also for clarity.

[Warren Castille]

Being alarmed at masculine depictions being revealed to be female sixteen years ago is serious business.

 

I catch pokes I like, but don't really care for gender. My mostly-male team in Gold got annihilated by Miltank's charm, and I have since learned my lesson.

[Aaron]

That's why I only use legendary in online.

 

Genderless ftw
