I will play as the guy because that's my gender is...
 
I usually end up buying both, so I'll end up being both. I dont think it really matters anyway, but I'm starting as the guy.
 
I was thinking of choosing the guy (cause I'm a guy) and giving him my name, cause I have problems with naming characters.

But then I thought, why not be the girl, and just call her Pearl?
 
I'm going to pick a guy cause I'm a guy and because I really love his outfit, better than any other guy sprites of every other pokemon game. I like his hat and scarf and pose, I don't understand why people don't like it. I never picked girl before, only in R/S/E once because I was curious.
 
I`m a girl and I like to play as a heroine. I just like my gender and probably I will not play as a guy. I don`t like the guy D/P sprite anyway, it looks weird.
 
I used to have this problem, until I decided:

Male in Diamond

Female in Pearl
 
First time I'm playing as Male so it'll be like I'm in the game.
maybe when I start another game I'll be female.
But I voted Male.
 
I've played as a girl since the games first provided the options (IE, Crystal). I personally felt it a little chauvanistic that it took that long to provide us girl players the option to play as a girl. *chuckles* Just me, of course, and I know it wasn't actually the case, it just annoyed me a little back in the RBY days (and GS) that I had to be a guy.

Of course...I admit to being a little annoyed at the Brendan/May rival-age of RSE. *sighs* I've switched to a guy when I restarted my Sapphire game to see what the difference was. Brendan is somewhat patronizing and macho, particularly at first, and May is all girly cute and hero-worshippy. At least in the american versions they were so. *rolls eyes* THAT annoyed me more than anything...and when it comes down to it, if the rivals have the same general personalities in DP (macho and hero-worshippy)...blah.

And in case I hadn't made it blatantly obvious by now, yes, I'm female. :P
 
I'm a guy but I'll play as a girl because the guy has that horrible hat. And the girl has a cool Skelly, and a mini skirt *drools*
 
I am a guy and I will play as the guy. The sprite is good. Even if the sprite was bad, I would still be the dude.
 
I picked Male just cause I'm a male.
 
Im picking guy, but once the third game comes, ill pick the girl for fun.
 
I've always just chosen the male Trainer, habitually, and will do so with my Day-one Diamond, but on Pearl I might pick the female for kicks. I've started unsaved games in RSE with the female character just to see what Brendan was like, and I've always thought about playing a whole game through like that.
