So I was able to catch both Male and a female Pikachu.... My female one now at lvl 6. The male one I caught was later, so it is still a lvl 3, or something. I couldn't decide which one to keep, until I realized the majority of my party was. 3 of my pokemon are male, 3 of them are female, including the pikachu being there. Unless I change my pokemon during the game much later on, I may keep the female one. I was going to try to catch a male caterpie, but it ended up being a female instead.
Yea I've played a pokemon game before now. Like Vixy said I was just curious.
I'm also curious about the super training works. The one with the soccer balls. Does that eventually level up your pokemon and helps it evolve? Or does it only increase HP, defense, offense, etc? Is there any difference if a pokemon gets all gold medals in all the super training events? Or is that just a personal thing?
