*In [[Generation II]], a Pokémon's gender was determined through its Attack [[Individual values|IV]]. Due to this, a female Pokémon could never have a maximized Attack [[statistic|stat]] (unless they were a member of an {{cat|Female-only Pokémon|all-female species}}, such as {{p|Smoochum}}), because female Pokémon were given the lower portion of the IV range. This also prevented female Pokémon of a {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|species with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}}, such as [[starter Pokémon]] or {{p|Eevee}}, from being {{Shiny}}, due to that ''also'' being based partly on the Attack IV. From [[Generation III]] onward, neither of these traits are determined by IVs, allowing for Pokémon species with two genders to have females with maximized Attack and simultaneously retain their chances of being Shiny. | *In [[Generation II]], a Pokémon's gender was determined through its Attack [[Individual values|IV]].

*Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names##102 - #151 Exeggcute - Mew|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, {{p|Mr. Mime}} may be of either gender. This is due to the fact that it was given its name prior to the introduction of gender to the series. | *Although its English and [[List of French Pokémon names##102 - #151 Exeggcute - Mew|French]] names suggest that it is exclusively male, {{p|Mr. Mime}} may be of either gender.

*Since {{p|Azurill}} has a different gender ratio than {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}, one in three female Azurill will be male after evolving into Marill, dependent on the [[personality value]] of the Azurill in question, though this no longer happens in [[Generation VI]]. | *Since {{p|Azurill}} has a different gender ratio than {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azumarill}}, one in three female Azurill will be male after evolving into Marill, dependent on the [[personality value]] of the Azurill in question, though this no longer happens in [[Generation VI]]. | ||
