  1. Are there any disadvantages in Emarald if you have a female Pokémon, I know it does in gen 2

    1. @pokestrike There's never been a disadvantage unless you consider more chances to be hit by attract.

      1. @flamingpandaomg Actually, in gen 2, female Pokémon had a lower attack stat

        1. @pokestrike you show me where there's any proof of that.

          1. @flamingpandaomg I'd do it my self but I think the battery is dead on gold

            1. @pokestrike regardless that's not applying to you since you're playing a Gen 3 game.

      2. @flamingpandaomg Actually in Gen 2, being female meant that you had more stats. the way they decided the gender of a Pokemon was based on their stats, so lets say that a pokemon has a 90% chance to be male, and 10% chance to be female. only the worst 10% of that Pokemon will be female.

        1. @rarity worse*, not more

          Thursday, 17-Oct-13 04:23:01 UTC from web
        2. @rarity That makes no sense but if multiple people are saying the same thing, who am I to disagree

          1. @flamingpandaomg that's just how they decided to calculate gender is all.

            1. @rarity yeah I guess I wasn't old enough when Gen 2 came out to really care besides that I could breed.

              1. @flamingpandaomg I only know because I watch speedruns of Gold

              2. @flamingpandaomg I wasn't born at the time gen 2 was out, well not in America that is, I got gold as a hand-me-down

        3. @rarity so really, it's not that because they're female, they have bad stats, it's that if they have bad stats, they are female.
