Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Male Gardevoir says hi. And reminds you that Gallade was introduced a Gen later.
Also, female Mr. Mime, Alakazam, Machamp, etc.
EDIT: Mochacastle, please watch what you say, you're going to offend people. (Besides, it's very silly to even care. I've always wanted a female Espeon but I've never actually gotten a female Eevee. But you know what? I evolve it anyway.) Also, Blaziken is a masculine looking Pokémon but I always want a female Torchic when I start the game.

Tragically unbeyachted.
Only so I could breed the everloving heck out of it.
When I get one (either gender), I'm going to call it SwirlyDave.

My use of Sylveon depends on a few factors:
*If it's Bug or Normal, I'll just get Espeon
*If it's Flying, I'll using if one of its attack stats are good and it learns Fly and use Gardevoir for my Psychic type. Otherwise I'll stick with gold old Espeon.
*If it's a new type, I'll place it in my Wild Card spot instead of a Dark or Ghost type and use Gardevoir for my Psychic type.

Not to really detract from the argument, but keep in mind Japan didn't have nearly the reaction to Gardevoir as the western world did (to my knowledge) and Mr. Mime's Japanese name doesn't imply gender at all.
That said, I really hope they don't make Sylveon female-only for both ideological and practical reasons. The name is implying Flying, but I'd reaaaally rather it be Normal. (Especially since it'd be so bizarre as a Flying-type; I mean, it's clearly grounded and yet it'd be immune to Earthquake?)

Makes as much sense as Doduo/Dodrio.
They're birds and can learn Fly (yes, I know ostriches can't fly, but they're still birds.)
I mean, I guess it could be ridiculous for ridiculous' sake, but Pokémon hasn't really resorted to that before.
Also, is the cards attack not... pretty obviously Trump Card? Eevee learns it.
EDIT: Oh Kratos beat me awhile back. I'd put more stock in Light-type than Flying.

I'm just saying
seriously man please just stop. you are not endearing yourself to anyone and your posts are potentially triggering.
It's not like it's particularly intelligent to point out, "oh this exists even though it looks like a guy/chick" even though I was suggesting it was possible that such a thing MIGHT exist. It's a little frustrating, actually

It's pretty silly to argue a Pokémon "looks like a chick" or whatever. So do peacocks, but that doesn't mean they're all female - in fact, it's the males that have those ridiculous tails, while the females look sensible. Human gender stereotypes don't apply to animals, and Pokémon are animals - if a Pokémon looks "girly", that has very little bearing on what its gender ratio is or should be.
That's aside from the fact that rigidly enforcing gender normativity, such as by saying something that looks "girly" should always be female, has some very bad associations for a lot of members here, who have personally experienced being ostracized or bullied for not conforming to social norms about gender. Please be mindful of stuff like that - it can be triggering.

It's either 100% female or 12.5% female. The only other theoretically possible combination would be 100% male (barring them pulling another Azurill).

We aren't being pushy, you are wording things in ways that could potentially offend users here.
do you know what a trigger is
does the idea that saying something is "girly" might severely offend people make any sense to you
