Gates:Gender

For the lore page, see Pkmn:Gender.

Gender (Japanese: 性別) is a characteristic of Pokémon in  Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. It mainly revolves around the partner.

All Versions

The partner's gender can be noticed by a graphical difference in Pikachu's model, with the female version having a heart shaped tail. The random partner that appears during the opening intro of the game has a chance of being female. Additionally, one of the Main Menu background images features a female Pikachu.

Pokémon other than the partner may be referred to with gendered language in dialogue, but show no visible difference and don't have anything different in gameplay either.

Japanese Version

In the Japanese version of the game, the player can choose whether the partner is male or female at the start of the game. There are two sets of dialogue for the partner, one male, and one female. The major difference between the two is the male dialogue saying ぼく, and the female dialogue saying わたし.

North American and European Versions

In the North American and European versions of the game, the player doesn't get to choose the partner's gender. He is always male.
