Yeah what kind of genders do you guys prefer to capture?
Most of the time, it makes no difference for me. However when a pokemon's appearance tends to learn towards stereotypes of one, I like to get the other. For instance, I love male Gardevoirs and Clefables or female Machamps. With that being said, when I'm breeding for a specific nature or trait I'm going to take either.
Anyway, I just got my 8th badge in HeartGold with 5 level 32-34 pokemon and a level 4 HM slave. I'm thinking I'm gonna spend time now making an 6th pokemon for actual combat. I'm thinking I'll use Girafarig.
