Yay, Shimmering! Man, I miss playing her.

Dear god I hope it's female. They're SOOOO hard to catch in the game and I REEEALLY hate catching a boy one. Cause I'm like....IT DOESN"T MAKE SENSE!!! ;_;

Much like how I only want a male Geodude, TT__TT how can it be a female GeoDUDE??!!

Oh pretty picture though. :3

Wow, you're my complete opposite. I jump for joy whenever I get Poké-critters that are the "wrong" gender.

Ahh, fond memories of Bridget the male Jigglypuff...

I heard in the new games they're going to make them change based on gender. I don't know about any pre-existing pokemon, but some of them might have different colors and other differences like horns and stuff. :3

X3 I can see how having a unlikely gender would be fun. I did have a male Skitty before. I forget what I named him but it was really gay. But they just look like a girl to me as opposed to a girly guy which is what I would actualy enjoy. *shrugs*

Well, you would be right that the Diamond/Pearl games will have some subtle differences between genders now, as subtle as a longer antennae or an extra stripe to a whole different color scheme. Also, some critters will have sex-based evolutions...

...Like Kirla, amusingly enough. Gallade, a Psychic/Fighting pokemon, is the specie's male alternative to Gardevoir, though considering there's a specific requirement to make that evolution happen, you can still theoretically get male Gardevoirs the old-fashioned way.

Feel better now?

*sniffles and hugs my blanket* Yes. ;3 Though I'm not sure if I'll fork over the money for the game just yet.

butbutbut trading critters online~

Dear gawd I could trade them online?! Hmmmm... A-Hmmmm...

It's a DS game with wifi. The trading and battling people online is pretty much D/P's biggest selling point!

It does sound promising. :3
