Is it just me? (Warning, Pokemania inside.)

Yellow Mage · 07-03-2007, 08:25 PM

Or are the genders of most Pokemon in Diamond and Pearl nearly impossible to differentiate on most Pokemon by sprite alone? As in, the two genders on most Pokemon look almost exactly the same?

Example, everybody knows that Pikachu now have notched tails if they're female, and according to the serebii.net pokedex, male Raichu apparently have sharper tail tips than thier female counterparts.

But (also according to the serebii.net pokedex) Pichu, Gardevoir, Clefable, Vulpix (my personal favorite), and countless others are, as far as I understand, impossible to differentiate by sprite alone.

Anybody who has D&P and/or PBR wanna discuss this? Particularly if you have PBR, as the 3D could possibly help show any differences that sprites can't.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now I have pokemon mating in my head.

And i've been to /b/.

God, tonight is not going to be fun...

Meh, there always have been, and I really couldn't care less how disturbing it might be.

EDIT: Above is in reply to StarvingArtist.

To Feba, I just stay far away from /b/ . . . I don't know why so many others find it so hard.

ANOTHER EDIT: Actually, that applies to all of f-chan in general.

Male Sneasel have slightly longer ears than females. Male Scizor have slightly smaller crotches/hips/whatever than females.
