My favourite PoKéMoN game is Crystal.
The only one that beats Yellow.
I always pick Chikorita.
Always.
And I usually check the sex immediately after getting it.
Just incase I get lucky since I always keep a full female team.
However, it's not easy. LeafGreen - I got a female Squirtle easily.
More than once, actually.
But on the older games, the chances always felt so much slimmer.
Anyway, I restarted Crystal because I missed my baby Chika. ;-;
I didn't check the sex this time - I just wanted my PoKéMoN back.
Then I got into a battle and saw it.
I SCORED ME A FEMALE CHIKORITA.
Damn right that I'm over the moon.
I love her to bits already.
Never. Restarting. Again.
Ever.
...Just wanted to share my joy.
