Gender Differences

Pikamiki

PokeTrainer Miki
What do you think about the gender differences to be introduced in D/P?
I think it's a great idea!
Any thoughts and ideas about differences in specific pokemon?

Mods close this if its out of place.

Differences declared and possibilities proposed by you:

Wooper - Antlers on female smaller
Butterfree- Spots at very bottom - white for male, black for female
Scizor - Not sure, but Female is slightly lighter, and the yellow spots on the claws don't have blck outlines in them (female shorter head spikes). females are slightly smaller.
Oddish - longer weed
Pikachu - male with hairdo
Bulbasaur - different markings on forehead
Poliwags - different spiral directions
Cyndaquil line - female is steel blue, male is indigo blue with ear tufts
Poochyena/Mightyena - female has sharper contrast between gray and black
Ninetales - male has a goatlike beard
exeggcute - A different egg will be broken
Misdreavus: male has only one red jewel.
Slowking: the female's Shellder crown is differently shaped
Machop - wil just have less muscles most likely
Arcanine- females will probably have less of a mane; the front hair tuft will probably only go halfway down their chest.
Mightyena- females will hopefully be larger and fuller than the males.
Eevee- Slightly fluffier tail and mane, with longer ears. (male)
Torchic/Combusken - chances are it will involve the feathers on it's head either size or amount.
Lotad - I see ending up like a duck and giving a longer bill and brighter coloring to the male has well as Psy/Golduck.
Snubbull - Maybe they will take the frilly thing off male
Corsola - males could have longer horns than a female Corsola.
surskit- females lighter blue
Ekans - one gender will have more yellow rings around its neck than the other
Gastly - males should have longer canines.
Banette - males should have bushier "tails"
Lapras - females shouldn't have a horn.
Dragonair - Males should have longer ear tufts.
Politoed - maybe the female will have a longer hair and smaller than males
Milotic - different tail pattern for females
Marowak - Males should have one more spike on the end of their tail.
Haunter - Females should have slightly smaller hands and a thicker aura around them.
Kingler - females should have claws that are proportionate in size rather than one huge claw and one smaller claw.
Murkrow - The smaller spikes on the male's 'hat' should be even smaller, or even gone, to make it look more like a wizard's hat. And the longest spike should be slightly crooked, too.
Seaking - females have a smaller horn or no horn at all
Manyula - Bigger ruby
Mime Jr - smaller hat
Blaziken - one has fire on wrists
Zubat-One of the genders could have larger ears while the other has a longer tail thing.
Kingdra-Female could be less frilly, or one could have a rounder face.
Kirlia-Do something with the horns on the head for one gender.
Dunsparce-Male has longer tail.
Ariados - female is bigger
Mightyena - female can have less darker eyes or smaller fangs.
Gardevoir - male should stand straight with its legs firmly apart on ground.
Exploud - female should have like less wrinkles or whatever.
Stantler--Female gets reduced antlers, but doesn't lose them. Smaller than male
Duskull--Female has a more "hag"-ish look, if you can imagine what I'm talking about
Dusclops--Same as Duskull, so the female looks more like a witch than a wizard. Maybe a brim to the "hat," or a smaller eye?
Swablu--Females are larger than the males, and have a more dull blue color to their plumage. The little feather "cowlick" curls back
Altaria--Same changes as before, though the two antennae are what curl back
Charizard--Females are a bit larger, with a slightly different curve to their wings and shorter horns
Blastoise--Females are a bit larger, with a more stylized tortoise shell pattern and shorter ears
Venusaur--Females are a bit larger, with different patterned flowers/leaves and smaller spots
Meganium--Males are a bit smaller, while females get slightly longer necks. Females get different patterned flowers
Typhlosion--Males are larger, with their blue fur coming onto their underbelly at the curves (it kinda closes in around their neck, for example). Females get red stripes near their "tail," but they don't set on fire
Feraligatr--Females are larger, with bulkier limbs but slimmer torsoes
Sceptile--Females are larger, with little white flowers on their berries. Leaf blades are shorter
Blaziken--This one's weird... a lot of people think that, since it's a rooster, it needs to become a chicken. Eh. I think it's fine as it is; it's Pokemon, weird stuff happens. Female Blazikens become slimmer, with a shorter "V" and more wicked claws
Swampert--Females are larger, with smaller fins. "Whisker" like gills are more plentiful, but smaller.
Silcoon-Different amount/size of spikes
Beedrill-Different sized abdomen/stinger
Mareep-Males more fluffier, because I say so. Or a different direction curl on its head.
Electrike and Manectric - females should be more slender and have smaller heads.
Scyther - (F)Longer Scythes, bigger body, bigger teeth.... prayign mantises eat their male mates... or did the male eat the female?
Snorlax - (F) Shorter, smaller belly (as in, the circle that seeperates the belly from the body is smaller) and smaller ears.
Piloswine - (F) No tusks, different sprite patterns.
Gardevoir - (M) Shorter Dress, shorter 'hair', and smaller eyes.
Clefairy ftw - (M) The curl is either shorter or gone, it gets darker.
Mightyena - (F) Longer fur.
Kanghaskan - (M) No pouch.
Luvdisc - (M) He shrinks, gets sharper angles, etc.
Murkrow - (F) Like someone else said, more witch-ey. Make the head spike thing go together and form a witch's hat, the tail fluffier to represent the broom.
Perrapu: females have quarter note instead of an eighth note
Delibird: females have the white feathers on the stomach shorter
Sharpedo: males have longer fangs while females have no star on forehead.
Pidgeotto and Pidgeot - males should have much larger crests but smaller builds.
Granbull - females should have larger teeth (if they are anything like lions lol)
Slowpoke: females will not have the white ring around the tail or vice versa
Milotic: Female is more of a pinkish tint, male is more yellow.
Absol: Female's black parts are indigo blue.
Altaria: Female has smaller crest.
Machoke: Female is slightly slimmer and a more silvery color.
Breloom: Female has smaller seed cap things on tail.
Gengar: Males have bigger grins and beadier eyes?
Ghastly: The females have more gas(dunno why thought)
charmander:(M) should have a bigger flame on the tail
bulbasaurs:(M) dark blotchy spots should be a slightly different shape
squirtles:(M) back should be a darker colour
torchics:(M) foot should be bigger
treeko's:(M) stick should be longer (the one in his mouth)
mudkips :(M)cheek spikes(?) should be a differnet colour..

I think it's interesting and may encourage people to catch more than one of a Pokemon.

Yes, i think so too. it makes things much more interesting and might also make people prefer certain genders for certain pokemon because they like the sprite better.

wouldn't an oddish with a 1/2 cut leaf on its head look cute?
 

Jade

Myuu...
Well... I wonder what would happen to the eeveelution? Sexy and cuter ? lol.... i am sure that some of the pokemon will only have one sprite not two because they are either male only, female only or genderless for example:

Unowns, all legendaries, all Nidos, Illumise, Volbeat, Jynx, Tauros, Miltank, the Hitmons, Smoochum, Tyrogue, and some others. Yep, it would be awesome... the female Quagsire would have no spine fin on their back....

I think that we should look forwad to Stantler. Frmale Antelope deer whatevers have no horns... That could be the difference? I really want to clear them. Oh, a list of the differences should be in the title, and possible ones. Anyway-
Wooper - Antlers on female smaller
Butterfree- Spots at very bottom - white for male, black for female
Scizor - Not sure, but Female is slightly lighter, and the yellow spots on the claws don't have blck outlines in them

uhh...yeah. That's all that's known about this. Pikamiki, can you edit these into your post? If this thead becomes popular, than people won't post ones already done.

the genderless or one gender pokemon will probably only have one sprite. i dunno about the eevee, but they could make the males have ruffled fur on the head or something like that.
 

Twilit Dragoon

*omnious thunderstorm*
I like the idea of Pokemon looking different because of gender. Can't wait to get both games and a DS.
 

Jade

Myuu...
Ouch, that oddish with half leaf looks weird to me, it would be hilarious that Oddish is like a mohawk for the male or to prevent weirdness, i guess that oddish will have a longer weed... :O

Quagsire will be sexy if got longer spine or nothing lolz

Poliwags will probably get diffent-direction spirals on their bellies. and what about bulbasaur? maybe it'll have differently shaped markings on its head!

Male Pikachu should have a hairdo, like Sparky from the anime lol. That would be cool. If anyone else finds any other differences, they should be posted. This should be a popular thread. It's strange it wasn't Serebii or a mod that made it first. Good work :)

Female stantlers probably won't have antlers.

Also, female Scizors have shorter head spikes.

Yeah, and I just found out, smaller abdomen things... ok...steering away.
One thing to consider - Charmander. For some reason i think there will be a drastic difference. Like, more than the tail flame

maybe the males charmanders might be slightly larger or something of the sort.

I think that we should declare most Pokemon with fire sprouting, one of the genders will have more. Most people will go for male, but you never know.
 

Omega Pirate

shove it up ya bum!
Can someone give me a link to these pictures? You seem to be talking about ones that are different to those of Serebii.net.

Ha! That is interesting. A concept to think about...Spinda
How will they manage it? There are different ones already. Maybe spirals. And, I thought of one - Exgxecute.
A different egg will be broken. Seems likely
 

Samayowa

you amaze me.
I find this to be a very unique and different idea. Cudos to NOJ and GameFreak.(or whoever thought of it.) Tis a very good idea.
