That silly professor with his worsening eyesight, I guess everyone becomes old and senile one day. But this isn’t about you personally, it’s about what you choose to be.
Since Crystal we’ve had this wonderful addition to the games, beloved by all feminists. But do you always pick the boy because you are one (the same goes for girls), or do you just pick the one with the better sprite? Are you afraid of being judged, just because people think that if you play with a girl you’ll want to become a girl? Do you have a totally other reasoning for the choice?
Go on, go commenting below! I’ll be back next time with a completely new Daely Snack, and if the newsdip continues like this, that will be very soon.

Oh. I love this question.
I’ll usually play as both. It just depends for me on how I like the designs of each trainer. I usually end up buying both (or all) versions of a game; so, if I like the design of both the boy and girl, I’ll play as the boy in the game I like more and the girl in the other. I like to switch it up and play as both. Currently, in Platinum and Black and I’m the boy, and in Heart Gold I am the girl. As for the new games, Black and White 2, I plan on playing as the girl. I don’t like the boy and I think the girl is adorable.
I really could care less about what my actual gender is, it’s fun to play as both.
Totally agree. I try to switch it up whenever I can. I usually wind up playing the boy most of the time, but variety is the spice of role-playing life, as it were. Sometimes it’s just a matter of whichever sprite is more appealing. In that vein, I’ll be playing the girl in White 2. At least she can decently manage her own hair. Someone get that boy a brush.
I shudder to think there are people assuming you’re going to be sitting there fapping to the like 5 pixels that symbolise your character in pokemon. I’ve always picked a male character in all of the pokemon games, but I have some female characters in other games, and don’t see the big problem. Sometimes a guy can relate more to a female character than a male character. Especially when the only male chararacters available in some games are big burly types. Having said that I’ll probably end up playing a male character this time around too, social pressures and whatnot, though I do prefer the female character appearance-wise this time around. The rival looks better though.
I’m still waiting for a “neither” and “both” options, even if I don’t fall into that part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
Any minute now.

Well I’m transgender and prefer playing as the boy character over the girl, but that doesn’t stop me from switching things up every now and then and playing as her if I happen to like her design enough. I don’t think BW2 girl looks all that bad actually, but I’m still going to be playing as the boy.
I let it vary, sometimes I restart my game or replay my games, so I’d pick the girl character so that my Pokemon can be from different OTs. All of my characters have names based off of my own or my horoscope and favorite animal: Lions. I have had Andre, Lionus, Lionel, Leon, Ravone(My middle name), Raven, Leona, Leo, and Leah. So, I love variations.
It depends on my team. I usually choose the boy but sometimes I wanted to have Dawn’s team or even that girl from HG/SS with the chikorita. I see no problem at all.
Well, I usually pick the boy, but OMG game freak needs some better designs! Its like:
FRLG: The only designs I like.
HGSS: Nick Jonas or Demi Lovato
RSE: Justin Bieber or Vannessa Hudgens
SPOT: Joe Jonas or Selena Gomez
BW: Zac Efron or Miley Cyrus.
So, all the choices remind me of teenage actors/pop artists. -_-
I pick the girl trainer cause i wish i was a girl, I dont care if im going to be judged
I play as both but it all depends on which sprite looks better. For Black2 I’m going to choose the girl cuz i dont like the boy’s design. They both look too simple.
