| The '''gender''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|性別|せいべつ}}''' ''{{wp|sex}}'') of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is a concept introduced in [[Generation II]], though touched upon in [[Generation I]]. In {{2v|Gold|Silver}}, most species of Pokémon were assigned a gender, male (Japanese: '''オス''' ''male'') or female (Japanese: '''メス''' ''female''); however, the genders of some species of Pokémon were left unknown (Japanese: '''{{tt|不明|ふめい}}''' ''unknown''). This feature allowed for [[Pokémon breeding]], as well as introducing the concept of a [[Pokémon Egg]] to the series. Gender makes no difference in the stats of a Pokémon after Generation II, unless the two Pokémon are a different species entirely, such as Nidoran.
| | '''Gender''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|性別|せいべつ}}''' ''{{wp|sex}}'') is a characteristic of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[humans]] in the [[Pokémon world]]. |

| In {{game|Crystal}}, a choice of between a male (Japanese: '''{{tt|男性|だんせい}}''' ''male'') and female (Japanese: '''{{tt|女性|じょせい}}''' ''female'') [[player character]] became available for the first time. However, both men and women have been featured in the Pokémon games since Generation I. | | Starting in the [[Generation II]] games, most Pokémon have a gender: male (Japanese: '''オス''' ''male'') or female (Japanese: '''メス''' ''female''); however, some species of Pokémon have unknown gender (Japanese: '''{{tt|不明|ふめい}}''' ''unknown''). The gender mechanic is fundamental to [[Pokémon breeding]]. |
| | |
| | In the [[core series]] games, starting in {{game|Crystal}}, the player can choose between a male (Japanese: '''{{tt|男性|だんせい}}''' ''male'') or female (Japanese: '''{{tt|女性|じょせい}}''' ''female'') [[player character]]. However, human men and women have appeared in all core series Pokémon games. |
