>>58778784Gayfag here, conforming to the stereotype. I picked the girl in gen 7 because I thought it would be funny, after I'd already picked the boy at least eight times.
I was surprised by how different it felt. The plot of these shit-ass games is painfully generic slop, and it's the same garbage you've already watched play out over and over and over and over across all media from birth until present day: In a time of crisis, the world turns to Generic Boy to slide in at the eleventh hour and save the day with his special, unjustified protagonist powers.
It was the same stupid shitty plot, but this time, the chosen one was a girl. It was a microscopic injection of novelty into a shockingly dull story I'd already mashed A through 99999999 times before.
It got me wondering why I was picking the boy in the first place. I'm not sitting here playing make-believe like a fucking toddler, pretending it's ME in the 3ds. I'm too powerful to be constrained by the straightfag's fundamental aversion to shit that might be misconstrued as gay. The more I thought about it, the more infantile it seemed to treat the decision as anything other than a coin flip.
Nowadays I pick the gender randomly. The novelty aspect of the girl trainer wore off after that first gen 7 run, but I'm too maturepilled to give a single rancid shit anymore which design configuration my pixels fall into.
Someone, please give me even a single legitimate reason why it's better to pick EITHER gender.
