The description of the determination of gender is somewhat confusing, so I added a pseudocode description of the algorithm.

Because the comparison to determine gender is greater than or equal, Pokémon are not actually perfectly distributed between male and female according to the ideal ratios shown above. For example, for a Pokémon with a 50/50 male/female gender ratio, there is actually a 129/256 (50.390625%) chance for the Pokémon to be male and 127/256 (49.609375%) chance for the Pokémon to be female. | Because the comparison to determine gender is greater than or equal, Pokémon are not actually perfectly distributed between male and female according to the ideal ratios shown above.
