Somewhat. Some designs look better with male genders and some look better with female genders in my head. I'm weird like that XD

Interesting thing I read in Bulbapedia a few years ago: Back in Gen 2 it was impossible to have a female shiny with perfect stats because female Pokemon by default had ever so slightly lower stats in some areas -this was fixed in Gen 3. So in G/S/C it was beneficial to have an all male team

In gen 2 it was impossible to have any shiny with perfect stats. You need DV 10 in all stats for shinies, perfect DVs are 15.

You're right. I was thinking about this and misquoted: "Since gender is also determined by IVs in Generation II, it is impossible to have a Shiny Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female that is female in those games, as the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female can have is 1, while the lowest Attack IV a Shiny Pokémon can have is 2"
