Do you care if your Pokemon is Male/Female?

I do. I can't stand having a character like Machoke or Rhydon (for examples) being female since they don't look anything like females to me, same for the other way around, for characters like Gardevoir or whatever other Pokemon that look really girly. :p Do you care what gender certain Pokemon are?

In a sense, yes. I have pretty much the same opinion on it as you do, I really don't like having a female Geodude, for example. It just feels weird to me, but other than Geodude and Machop, I don't think any other pokemon's genders matter to me.

I hate it when I get a genderless Magnemite. :mad:

It really only matters for me when considering breeding though. and Wobbuffet. They ruined female Wobbuffets.

With certain Pokemon, I do care actually. I hate when I breed Pokemon and want a certain gender and end up not getting it. Or even more annoying when I'm hunting for specific Pokemon I end up running into them with the gender I don't want and often times they're harder to find.

Dang game not giving me more female Eevee. I love that 12.5% chance of getting a female. =/

I only noticed after the 6th gym or whatever that my whole team is female, including my HM slave.

I keep the ratio of male/female/genderless equal.

I'm that cool.

It only really matters to me when im breeding pokemon. But i do prefer females. If there are any attract pokemon i run into in game, they are always female and own my mostly male team. They are mostly male by coincidence.

I see more people with males and attract is quite handy. Also I can raise my stats easily without them attacking or missing. I enjoy breeding the starters and the Eevees.

Nobody, proving my point. The only somewhat-good pokemon who has it is haxorus, and he has mold breaker.

I prefer A male over most things. Unless I want a female for certain Pokemon. Like someone like Lapras I always want a female. But for someone like an Eevee I don't care. And almost always I want my starter to be a male. It's also hard to come up with nicknames that fit that gender if it doesn't really fit at all lol

Not really, ditto exists. As long as you have a ditto, you can breed

Call me crazy, but when I have the choice, I have my walls female and my sweepers male.

Usually it doesn't matter to me. I have a subconscious inclination towards females, though, but I won't go out of my way unless I need to. Also <3 reppin' dem girly man Pokes/manly girl Pokes.

only care when breeding

and sometimes i reset for a female, good nature starter to save me trouble later

nothing else matters, except when some genders are unbearably ugly (wobbuffet comes to mind, perhaps jellicent)

It all depends on what Pokemon it is. Like my Eevee I got from Bill in Heartgold was a boy so I decided to evolve it into an Umbreon but instead it evolved into and Espeon and I saved it for who knows why. I wanted to breed the Umbreon to breed with a Ditto then get a female Espeon now it's a boy but it's all good I guess.

I do, mainly because I want my team balanced just in case we run into a Pokemon with attract.

Overall it is dependant on which Pokemon. Some would look weird with certain Genders. Out of all the Eevee's I breeded only gotten 1 female which is now Espeon. All the males are all the other evolved forms.

I like all of my Pokemon to be female. I don't know why.

Sometimes I go out of the way to catch a female, sometimes I don't. I've never gotten a female starter and I usually just leave it be.

Certain Pokémon, yes. My dog reminds me of Vulpix/Ninetales, so I prefer to have a female. Usually it's by association with things from my past — like Leavanny for whatever reason reminds me of David Bowie so I opted for a male. I guess that answers your question then.

I hate it with Eevees. I try to get females and I get one but I get with with a nature that hurts the growth of Special Attack and it ticks me off since many of the evolutions are on high Special Attack except Umbreon and Leafeon.

It's weird, the red colour of the female symbol urks me, so I strive for as many males as possible.
