What is your opinion on gender differences?

I don't really have any opinion on these, apart from them being a nice feature to have

My favorite gender difference?
Idk, maybe Torchic because of how invisible it is x3

 

I really like gender differences, if they're actually distinct. I'm not too fond of the whole 'oh, the female's teeth/fangs are a little bit shorter'. I like it when the males and females are entirely different looking, like the Nidorans. I think my favorites though are Unfezent. Both male and female versions look cool, but I love how the male is the more colorful one, because that's how birds really are.

 

One that I think really needs a gender difference is Sawsbuck. The fact that the females have antlers has always bothered me a lot more than it probably should.

 

What do you mean my female Hippowdown isn't shiny?

 

I dont really mind if Pokémon have a gender difference or not. Though I think my favorite has to be Meowstics gender difference. Both forms look so neat and elegant

 

To be frank I feel like gender differences, aside from Pikachu, are kinda obscure and honestly not much more than a little trivia fact. Maybe when you first find them it’s like “hey cool” and after that it doesn’t really matter.
Unless, of course, we’re talking things like Gallade and Salazzle.

 

I really love the gender differences. They add so much variety to the Pokémon and make you feel like the gender matters and isn't just a random symbol next to your health bar that will remind you that you have a male while you watch your Pokémon slowly faint. My favorite gender variety is the Meowstic pair. Not only are they visually distinct from one another in their unique way, but despite having the exact same stats, the way they are supposed to be played differs per gender. The most clear way to see this is with the unique hidden abilities for each gender.

 

I think this is a interesting feature that could be used more (maybe a gym leader that uses all female/male Pokémon?) but I think its in a good spot right now! I think it helps add more variety to everything and is just a cool tiny feature. My favorite is honestly probably just female pikachu. I really like the tail haha.
