RE: Pokemon Returning Player - Momo - 02-07-2016
You can beat the whole game with just about any decent team, you don't really need good stats, I just go down the list of pokemon that I can get, that I really like and make a team that way. Â Most of the time though...I am stuck worrying I will get overly attached to a pokemon I caught early on, and be stuck with it no matter how mush I do or do not like that particular pokemon.
I am also sexist (on the subject of pokemon), so I only catch male pokemon if I can, unless there is no other choice. (Never gonna give up on you Chansey!)
I also catch one of every pokemon available in the game (I don't trade around unless I -must- have something in particular), which means one of each form too, so not only evolved forms.
When I get particularly bored...I choose a job or theme for my trainer, and make a team of pokemon around what fits with that theme, say...ice cream shoppe worker, or...aquarium specialist...herder...that sort of thing then pick lots of pokemon to go with that theme. Â Gets me through, since I buy every version available of the game and play them all.
Still waiting on that Crystal remake though...>.>;;;

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.

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.

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.Â
". . . How the f*ck is that a girl!?"Â
Such manly and Rocky features yet it's a girl. Wat.
Just like I refuse to have a male Kirlia or Goldeen.

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.

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. Â 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. Â I will never agree that Tyranitar should be a boy only pokemon, nor Aggron, nor Machamp or any other "masculine" pokemon. Â 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.
RE: Pokemon Returning Player - Aaron - 02-08-2016
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.
RE: Pokemon Returning Player - Warren Castille - 02-08-2016
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.
RE: Pokemon Returning Player - Aaron - 02-08-2016
That's why I only use legendary in online.
Genderless ftw
