It usually doesn't bother me unless it just looks wrong having a pokemon of a certain gender. Machamp, Gardevoir and Mr.Mime come to mind...

Electrifying!
I tend to care a lot, if a Pokemon looks a certain gender to me, then I want it in that Gender.

I also prefer most of my Pokemon to be Males since they're the only ones that can pass down moves.

Sometimes...there's certain pokemon that should just be female. And some that should only be male. Like Vulpix should just be female.

in some occasions yes.
I choose whether it is a male or female depending on its appearances.
Like Gardevior should be a female. A male one would be awkward since it is wearing a dress.
Glalie should be a male since its face is always a manly style.
Chikorita should be a female since it has a necklace.

Other Pokemon which have facial hair should be a male.
Freaks me out that a female Conkeldurr and Stoutsland both have a mustache. >_<

I catch only female Ralts back in Emerald, in Gen 4 onwards i loosened the restriction as there was Gallade

stuff like Machop too, but I got stuck with one on ShinyGold nuzlocke, so yeah, guess you have to work with what you get, on Nuzlocke.

I dont really care about their genders, as long as I have some diversity in my team. I dont like having an all-male or all-female team.

Yes, because it affects how I nickname my Pokemon, and how I look at them.

As seen in my team in my sig, I was hoping either Togekiss or Milotic would be female. Togekiss is sort of ok, due to the gender ration, but Milotic should've been female, so I could've named it Ruto (Zelda references FTW).

In one word, no. Aside from Gallade/Frosslass, it makes next to no difference anyways.

How can you hate it?
It doesn't matter to me, but if the pokemon is feminine then I want a female and same for male. I usually want male starters also, it just seems right.

Same here. I always try to shoot for two or three females, but since I don't do any of that special training I just use what I get. But by E4, usually, I'll have at least one.

I don't really care unless it's a Pokemon that just looks masculine/feminine (like my female shiny Escavalier lol) that would be hard to nickname if it was the "wrong" gender.

Its whats for dinner
I think that there is just a higher male ratio to some pokemon hence why some of you guys just randomly end up having more males.

To me it doesn't really matter what their genders are unless I want to breed it later.
Honestly, lately it has been bothering me that my teams have more males on them so will end up deliberatly trying to get 3 males and 3 females.

My friend who lives relatively close by absolutley refuses to have ANY females on the teams he uses. I asked him about it and he told me that they are weaker.. btw this guy is 19 and in college with me lol

Depends on the Pokemon, as many have said, if it looks female I'd rather it be female. If it looks male I'd rather it be male.

However, I don't mind :p

I don't care, but i try to have at least some diversity (you know, 4 males, 2 females, 3 males, 3 females...) etc...

So how do you feel about female Mr. Mimes?

But basically, that.

Its Japanese name makes no reference to any masculinity, and it's not meant to resemble one gender over the other. It boils my blood when people mock male Lopunny, though. God only knows what they would do if they saw a guy who looked feminine at all. "lol he's the wrong gender" I know I'm generalizing and making a mountain out of a mole hill, but it really annoys me. Gardevoir isn't necessarily wearing a dress, I consider it a robe. See? Unisexual.

Not really, just cause my ingame Haxorus was female.
