Are you playing as the Male or Female character?

[DemonDragon]

male since i am, if i get soulsilver i might try female in it but i don't really like the way the female character looks.

[Kaika]

At first when I saw the girl's redesign I decided that I would play as a boy, but gradually the design is warming up on me (and it helps that I think the girl's sprite is adorable!) so it's kind of up in the air... but I'm thinking I'm going to play as a girl if only because I'm playing as a boy on platinum

[KentuckyFriedTorchic]

I'll be the male, i mean, i even played as a male in pearl so.. would be a waste to chose the girl now.

[~Spacial_Rendation~]

Since I'm ticked that they got rid of Krys/Marina/whatever people call her and I don't like Soul.

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

Guys who choose the female character in Pkmn games just strike me as confused people.

Oh, I'm sorry. I geuss I can't play Super Mario Galaxy because I'm female and I have to play as a male protagonist. I can only play Barbie: Horse Riders despite it being a horrible game instead of SMG despite it being fantasic because of my gender despite it having nothing to do with my friggen IRL persona. GREAT LOGIC : D

Seriously. These people are the ones who are confused

[Hunter_RuLe]

Easy: Male!

I'm a man myself and I have always done my first run as a man. Besides I think gold/kenya is the coolest pokemon main character and I really dislike the new girl's design.

[Tundra]

If I get Soul Silver I am becoming a female, even though I am male I just like to be different to my friends that I battle and trade with which are mainly male. Even though I am a male and I might pick female I am not a confused perosn as an above poster stated >_> I just don't want six or seven males when we battle and trade at school lol I always like to be different, whatever they do I do opposite.

[Darkxninga]

Both. I'll play as the female in one, and the male as the other. I haven't decided in which games yet, though.

Good idea. Although I always pick the female ever since you could choose a gender, I might pick the boy but Im not sure... she still looks like she shoulda been in pokemon ranch I have too admit. Im not 100% sure who I'll pick but theres a 60% Im going for the dude.

[Sapphire Phoenix]

I'll play female in both games, since I am a girl. To me it feels weird playing as the guy... well, in Ruby I played as Brendan because I wanted to see what May said as the rival :/

[rekreatur]

The girl, because I'm one. I don't care if she looks like she escaped from a ranch.

[Kitsunetsuki]

Male and Female... yes... i played Emerald as a girl and the rest as a boy.

End of story.

[Birnax]

Male character, seeing as I am male.

Guys who choose the female character in Pkmn games just strike me as confused people.

Especially when they try to justify it...

O RLY? Sometimes males get bored of choosing the boy all the time.

[Neekerisanni123]

Female. Nuff said.

[SladeJT]

Female. I always choose female.

[one4all]

Definitely the female
not because she is ugly....even if i think shes ugly i will still choose her....

[Suerte17]

Male character, seeing as I am male.

Especially when they try to justify it...

Some people just feel more comfortable playing as the opposite gender, and others just want to do something different. There's nothing wrong with it. :/

And why just guys? Why not girls too?

[Shadow Eeveelution]

I'll choose male........Female maybe after several trading run

[Giratina93]

Female, cus I've always done so in every Pokemon game...

[Little Miss Sunshine]

Female! -is female-
I'm okay with this new girl, but nothing will ever replace Cris in my heart. <3

[XxSilverxX]

Im gunna be male. O.O
Cause im a male...

[unluckyred13]

im gonna go as the male...

With an upcoming appearance of Soul in the anime, this problem may soon have an answer, depending on what the anime's name for her is. Like Dawn and May, whose names are shared with their game counterparts in all languages, Soul is likely to have whatever in-game name she has in the anime, provided that her anime counterpart is not just Marina in different clothes (as several other characters have been shown to change clothes over the course of the anime).

I don't want to start a flaming war here but that's the exact kind of justification I don't understand...

[Commander Blitzkrieg]

Gold, definitely. I really hate Soul's design. If they kept Kris (Who, not to sound wrong or anything, is BY FAR the hottest and overall best Female character) I'd think otherwise.

Ewww. Heart is better. Her hair is not as deformed as Kris'.

[Mark_Chaos]

Interesting, to say the least.

Wut?

Oh yeah:

SS: Male
HG: Female

[flyboy1308]

I might run through it once as Soul after trading away all my Pokemon to Platinum. But primarily, I'll be Gold.
