and I feel like they force you to be honest as to what gender you are.

If you ask me, the way to get past this is by giving Pokemon a character creator so instead of it being phrased as a question it's just a selection to make like most other games.
Maybe I shouldn't let it bother me but it just feels weird if I say anything other than me being a guy,.

I'm not sure why but it makes me feel off if I say anything else.
