That really helped!!! my pokemon has the jolly nature and its speed went higher :D

No, I personally prefer genderless because they're the ones with unique abilities or are
legendary most of the time like Shedinja.

There are some pokemon with genders that are cool too like Grovyle.

But I guess it's a personal opinion.

For example, some people prefer female slowkings or mr. mimes because they're rarer. I
know a hack to personally make a male nidoqueen.

I'm asking what you think, so do you like pokemon of a certain gender more?

yeah nature matters to me
the pokemon's nature helps it get better in its stats adamant, naughty, lonely and brave
are atk

defence are bold, relaxed, impish and lax

sp atk are mild, modest,rash and quiet

speed are timid, hasty, jolly and naive

sp def are calm, gentle, sassy and careful

hardy, docile, serious, bashful and quirky don't effect the stats of the pokemon


gender don't really care just use that item when a pokemon uses attract and they both get
attracted

I don't really care for gender myself since I'm a girl and won't be made fun of but I hear
that some boys get made fun of it they have female pokemon. I personally think it's ***
but this is mostly for the younger players.

For nature I try to get pokemon for my nature. It's just cooler that way.

^^ I personally think it's not smart

hate genders the end
