    Well? Would you guys rather play as a boy or a girl? Why? Are your decisions based on design? Name? Or something else?

    Personally, I find all the males to be aimed at being cool and strong. While the girls are more pretty and elegant. Therefore, I go for the males most of the time. Only exception would be Hilda because she looks spunky but I don't have Black :(

    But the guys have the best group shots *nods* (feel free to post any other fanarts you find!)

    I usually play as the male characters. I think their designs are a lot cooler. I agree with what you said, about the males seeming to be more cool and strong, and the girls more elegant. Works for a lot of people, but elegant is far from my thing, and I'd like to think of myself as a lot cooler and stronger than I am.

    Point is, I usually play as the males.

    I usually play as the male character, but from time to time, I choose the female one, because hey, who cares? xD

    I usually will choose the guy, and then the 2nd game(of the gen, like D/P/Pl) I will choose the girl. Both have great designs imo and i don't care if I play as a girl on it.

    I have always played as the girl. Not sure why, just did. Maybe because i am one or that I find it fitting that my rivals are usually boys then and its fun to beat boys as i grew up and live in a town where boys think they can beat me at anything. (they learn the hard way i suppose). I also think the boys' designs are too similar to one another whereas the girls look different every gen

    I always pick girls because in my mind it make sense for me to play as the gender I am, instead of picking the opposite. Although sometimes I venture to wanting to play as a boy but then I quickly change my mind and go to the girl.
    Except in Pokémon mystery dungeon explorer of the sky, I REALLY wanted riolu so I put I'm a guy :P

    I've always played as a girl, I guess just because that's the gender I am. I do like how their designs switch up every generation though, unlike the guys whose more or less are the same. I guess I wouldn't mind playing as a guy once though, I just always end up picking girl.

    I always choose the male characters in my main games since I like to play a character that's the same gender I am. I sometimes play as the female characters in my side runs, though, if I want a change of pace. I like the designs of both male and female trainers for all of the generations, though.

    Why are people saying that the male characters all have the same design? I see plenty of differences. The only thing that really seems that similar to me are the expressions....

    I think that it just seems like that because there's not as much they can do with the different hairstyles like on the girls or something...

    I like playing the girl mainly because I just like to play my own gender. I do think the hairstyles are a bit silly for them but I usually can't see myself playing as a guy. Often if I get a copy of the game or reset an old on, I'll pick a guy just because.

    Wow lots of ppl playing as the gender they actually are. I'm the opposite. I don't want to play as the gender I am :P

    For gen 6 though I wish the boys had more clothes. I'm very tempted to switch over to playing a girl simply because they have way better customization options.

    Also added a poll to the thread....even though I can't see it....o.0

    I'm a girl and I usually play as the female character in my main games. Sometimes I play as the male character too when I do challenges like the randomizer or Nuzlocke.

    I don't really care who I play as tbh, there's no difference if you play as a girl or a boy.

    Usually I play as a girl because when I get the Pokémon games I get one and my brother plays the other. I like playing as the girl because I am a girl anyway.

    In Pokémon the gender of the character doesn't effect the storyline at all, but even then I usually go with the male character since, well, I'm a dude. When I first started playing Pokémon I would chose female characters a lot of the time for my own entertainment though. Man, me and my preteen years...

    I'm a girl but I usually play as a guy because I like the male designs more. Short shorts and skirts are not my thing,

    Just now that I read that, I realised that every single female character wears either short shorts, or a skirt.
    Seriously, Dawn must have a great time in Snowpoint City... Not

    I used to pick the male avatar all the time when I was younger. The males usually looked cooler than the female trainers. It never made sense that they would where skirts on a journey. But now I find my self picking the female avatar. For some reason it's gotten weird to be walking around as a male.
