I'm a femme lesbian and sometimes I like playing as boys. Sometimes I think they look cuter, idk. or if a game has gay romance options I often prefer them to the lesbian options (not as a rule but sometimes lesbian romance options feel cringey to me). I don't like playing as butch macho guys, but as boys or thinner, more youthful looking guys, I sometimes feel more comfortable identifying with them than some female designs.

I always pick the girl primarily because I am a girl, but in Pokemon, I also find the boy character designs a lot less interesting. (They are all basically the same! Why!!)

Here's hoping Pokemon Go will have a lot of avatar options!

Fun fact: with a few exceptions I almost exclusively play as female characters whenever I'm given the option. Even when the MC is effectively a cipher intended to be a stand-in for the player (for example in Fallout 3 or Dark Souls) I have a harder time identifying with a male fucko.

I almost always go for the male option because I feel slightly creepy going for the female one. Especially since most of the female characters in MMOs are way too implausibly sexy and I don't know, it feels like buying into or somehow approving of the super sexy bikini warrior thing to play one and god knows there are already way too many dudes playing female characters just to ogle her tits or put her in sexual positions in game anyway.

Now if only all the male characters weren't hulking huge musclebeasts, that'd be great, because I don't like those either. But I'm still more comfortable with those than being That Guy playing the waify bikini lass.

In games where the bikini warrior thing isn't an issue, I have no trouble playing the female characters but there are so few of them out there.

I frequently play the boys. Mostly because in games like Pokemon and harvest moon the boy is pretty enough i can pretend is a girl and woo other girls XD

Exactly my reasoning! If I can date girls as a girl, I will play as a girl. Otherwise I will play as a boy.

I pick the girl these days, but way back when the question never was asked, I used to pretend that it was a tomboy. (helped that I was one, I suppose)

(Anonymous) 2016-04-29 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
I pick whichever one I like the design of best, though it's usually the girl. I'm going to be spending at least fourty hours looking at them, I might as well pick the one I like best. I picked the boy in Black since I just think he's cuter than the girl.

I do tend to pick the opposite gender character if I play the other or third version, though, like I picked the boy when I played Platinum, since I picked the girl in Pearl.

I'm a guy and I play the guy without exception in my first run of a game. However, I'm also a Black male. Where that gets interesting is that I will always pick a Black avatar in cartoony games but, in more realistic looking games, I play a white dude. Specifically, a redhead (super white) with large muscles and an allergy to shirts. (I posted a secret about that years ago.)

The exceptions are in Tera, the meh MMO, where I play a cute kitten and the first Dragon Age where I tried to make a black elf (I never play elves!) but he came out looking Indian.

I never make characters look like me because it's a fantasy and I want to be pretty.
