I play as the guy, because I'm a guy. The only time that I played with the girl was on one day that I was really bored and restarted my Pearl version just to see if there was a lot of difference between playing with Dawn and Lucas. There wasn't. I restarted the game and played with Lucas again.

I'm playing as a girl because I am a girl.
 
Similarly, I'm playing as a boy because I'm a boy.

I always play the girl character unless we're back in the RBY and GS games where a female character was nonexistent. :p
Plus, the female characters are pretty~

I'm playing as the female on Y. I choose the design I like better on a game by game basis, but this time it was hard since there's customization and I thought they both looked good. For me, it doesn't detract from the experience at all if I play as a guy, I guess because I don't think of myself as a girl, so much as just me.

I always play as a girl because I am a girl... I've never even tried playing as a guy actually, if I'm not my own gender it just doesn't feel relatable.

I always choose the boy, because....well, im male.
I sometimes play as a girl if I already played through the game and restart the game out of boredom, but yeah....always the boy when just getting the game.

You'll never know!
I played as a guy in Y, and a girl in X because I was disappointend in the selection of guys wardrobe and hairstyles. I'm a guy

Male, because I'm a male...
Even though there aren't as many options for customization...
It would be nice if there were some pokemon costumes as well...

'Nuff said.

Typically on my first playthrough, I'll play a female character which I name after my daughter. On the other game, I'll play a male character with some version of my name. Pokemon is the one thing I want to share with my child, so I always imagine us going on a pokemon journey together to explore the world.

Mostly guy right now even though I am a girl. But back before Black and White, I mostly played as a girl. Though I think it is because I wasn't a fan of the BW girl design.
On anything, I don't really care at all if I play as a guy. Doesn't make me feel uncomfortable at all.

I always choose the boy on one version and the girl on the other. There's no particular reason why, except "why not?" I guess.
For XY, I went with the girl on X and boy on Y.

I chose boy because i am a boy...even though the guy in the game has limited customization. I want to take off that hat so bad....

I'm usually a girl because I am one in real life, but the girl characters in HG/SS and BW 2 (actually, the guy in BW 2 is pretty bad-looking to me too) are ugly to me, so I prefer the guy. Plus, Crystal was my first game and I played a dude, so I play as a dude in HG/SS. I like the style of the guy character in X/Y more (sport jackets and beanies and such) but the girl has more overall choices.
