Do you prefer to play Pokemon as the Male or Female characters?

I used to choose the male design but nowadays you get more character customization if you choose the female, I was wondering about you're thoughts

    I play as a male during my first playthrough, named after myself. Subsequent playthroughs vary, depending on what I feel like playing.

    In the later games, female characters definitely had better customisation, but now Gamefreak seem to have embraced the body type A and body type B philosophy with Scarlet and Violet, everyone has access to the same limited options.

    normally, being a dude, i would go as a male obviously, but i also like using female ONLY one roleplays.

    i pretend that the female character that i use is the sister of the male character that i always use. for fun! but i always go for dude all the way in my gameplays

    I just choose to be a guy since I am one. Also, I always like acting like the character I play as in each game is the same character, so now I make them all look the same (No man-bun hairstyle in the games is gonna be the death of me)
