Boy, are we cracking open the gender issue so soon? I can agree with Zardoric, a pokedex probably would know the gender of what you are looking at. Personally, I do like knowing the gender. Unless you happen to really know the Pokemon you are looking at or they are just that different. [s]Excluding Nidoran F/M, because they are different Pokemon somehow.[/s]

Surprisingly, I'm gonna cast a no for trainers knowing.[s] We can't all be omniscient on every possible thing going on around us.[/s]
