Y'know, you guys didn't have a problem with the gender ratio for the past seventeen years, but now with Primarina being so effeminate, you all have a piss pout.
Well fuck all of you who are just now giving a damn about their Pokemon's gender. I have resetted a game more times I can count in search of a female Torchic with a Quiet nature or a female Piplup with a Special Attack-boosting nature.

same here desu
I never understood the gender ratio. I don't think that more boys play Pokemon than girls.
>>32723324
I've only ever had a problem with it when it makes no fucking sense.
For Combee/Vespiquen and Salandit/Salazzle, it makes sense because of their species.
It makes no sense for the starters, Zorua/Zoroark, Riolu/Lucario, Munchlax/Snorlax, Togepi and its evolutions, the fossilmons, or Eevee and its evolutions.
It's like the only reason the gender ratio is imposed on them is to punish people who want to try and breed competitive versions of them with egg moves, ESPECIALLY if they have a decent hidden ability.

Because it IS like that. Those Pokemon have gender ratios skewed towards male to make it harder to breed them.
This is because those Pokemon are mainly starter/special/event Pokemon.

The gender ratio was implemented to make it more difficult to breed rare starters. But they also made Ditto a copying machine, so it was kind of pointless in the first place.
Pokemon genders, are, for the most part, aesthetic. It just doesn't feel right when your Sylveon is a male.
It would be worthwhile if genders affected stats. Like all males have a 10% increase in Attack, Special Attack, & Speed while females had a 10% increase in HP, Defense, & Special Defense.
In my headcanon, female starters are rare because the nurseries vet Pokemon that are to be distributed by professors. Nurseries need more females than males, so they keep most of the females. The daycare even examines eggs of starters & withhold the eggs that will hatch female. Of course, they cannot keep all the females, & some Pokemon they cannot tell the gender upon hatching so those hatchlings go to professors.
>tfw don't care about the gender of my Pokemon
Shit happens, I'm happy as long as I like the Pokemon's design.
>mfw chance of female has actually been 11.9% since gen 4 and we didn't realize

Why can't more people be this intelligent?
>>32723454
Because most of us are sexist, autistic nerds who want our digital pets to have a gender that best coordinates with the design.
Happy?
>>32723423
It literally doesn't stop anyone since Ditto exists. It just makes the process longer and more frustrating for anyone who tries. Again, it's stupid and pointless now.

>tfw game freak can't even code their game properly
>>32723479
>Happy?
More like sad for your future and the lives you'll eventually lead if minor and inconsequential things like this actually cause you problems.
But hey.
>>32723454
>>32723479
Both of these. Truth be told it's not hard for me to imagine a feminine Incineroar or male Primarina, as long as I like the design overall. But I can see how stupider people would have such troubles.

Because fucking male pokemon is gay.
>>32723132
Actually, it's 88.1% male, 11.9% female
Just see this: >>32723495
>>32723495
Maybe they just change the gender ratio just to we have to shit ourselves.
What the fuck, Pyroar have 11.2% being male.
Even less than the starter being female.
>>32723453
False.
>>32723495
How exactly? Should they be following what Bulbapedo says?
>>32723683
That's a bug in XY, ORAS, and SM, you dummy.
>>32723877
Yeah, a bug in 3 games. No way that's intended or anything
>>32723914
You realize that Game Freak usually doesn't fix these things to avoid breaking compatibility?
Do you even know how software works?
>>32723337
Nah, mostly boys. Alot of girls, sure, but more boys. Also, the gender ratio is an issue because they tried to make a girly Pokemon, and made it ugly af, and left the ratio the same, implying tranny seal.
>>32723437
>tfw your headcannon makes sense to me
I should die...
>>32723132
at least for casuals like me it makes females feel more special and also gives me an excuse to justify my autism
It's actually 88.1% male, the rest female.
