Gender Sprites?

Okay, so re-looking through the different sprites used for D/P...I kind of don't see the point of using different ones for male and female genders of a species when they both look SO similar anyways! I mean, the Wooper pre-release picture was cool...but so many of the sprites are exactly the same...

Just me throwing this out there ^_^ ;194;
 
What a pointless thread...
anyway, the only pokemons ive noticed differences in are:
Hippopotasu + Kabarudon
Scizor
Butterfree
Wooper
Mitsuhoney

Anything else?
 
Actually, there's only a small amount of Pokemon that actually have gender differences. Looks like GameFreak gave up halfway through and just wanted to release the games on time, rather than make four different sprites (two per gender) with differences between the pairs for every single Pokemon (not counting legendaries, genderless, or ones with one gender).
 
fukumaru is another obvious one. One gender is missing a chunk of its head part.

Well, yeah, a little pointless but I just wanted to get some response about it. I mean, if GF is going to put it into a game...I think they should REALLY put it into a game. I realize this is difficult to do...but don't start what you can't finish, is how I'm seeing it ^_^

Yeah, I see what you mean...but still a little crazy...
 
There are quite a few of them Nuzleaf, Blaziken, Aipom, Murkrow, Korinku, Rozureido, Gregguru, Keikouo, Yukikaburi, Sneasel, Pokemon with horns/ tusks(not all) for example. Im not gonna list them all but those are just a few and most of them have their evo/pre evo with a difference too. I have looked through every male and female sprite and compared them. There is a major lack of Pokemon that are different but there are still a few. I think there are around 40 Pokemon with Differences maby more maby less. It was a few months ago when I looked so I dont really remember.
 
The only one not said here that I know of is Pachirisu, which has the blue stripe on its head that is bigger or smaller.
 
Ill try and make a list of every Pokemon that has a male and female difference in order. I might miss a few ...sorry if I do but I will try to get as close to all of them as I can with out taking to much time. I also appolagize if the spelling is incorrect. I am just gonna try and type this fast. Most mispellings are gonna be because I dont want to look up every name and make sure Im spelling it correctly.

This should be all of them because I looked at every image. If its not though let me know...Im pretty sure it is though.

Well...that took a while
 
I think I might have been wrong when I guessed there were around 40 Pokemon with differences. There are more around 100
 
WHAT wobby with lipstick
 
There is already a list existing about gender differences on every Pokèmon. Click here to see them. Yes, Wobbuffet is ugly, because the female does wear lipstick.
 
Personally, I think Wobbuffet is hilarious as female. Sometimes I dislike a gender sprite though and work to get the other gender.

I have two objections to the POINT of this thread.
1. In real life, most animals you see won't be easy to tell apart by gender, except in ways they wouldn't show in a children's game.
2. There are actually a great deal of Pokémon with gender differences, you just have to know what to look for. Here's a list, but I'm not sure if it has all of them. http://www.psypokes.com/dp/gender.php

EDIT: nevermind. Just noticed that someone already posted that link...

Ohhh, I was looking at the two Walreins for like 10 min trying to figure out the diffrence >.>
 
Differences were somewhat cool, at least something new from previous versions, still they are not so big (not to mention some pkmn look the same between two genders).

I belive it was just hard to make a different sprite without changing the species original looking, if you know what i mean.
