Some species of Pokémon have '''differences in appearance due to [[gender]]''' in the [[Pokémon world]], with noticeable differences between the males and females. With the exception of the differences between {{p|Nidoran♂|male}} and {{p|Nidoran♀|female}} Nidoran, gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]]. | Some species of Pokémon have '''differences in appearance due to [[gender]]''' in the [[Pokémon world]], with noticeable differences between the males and females. With the exception of the differences between {{p|Nidoran♂|male}} and {{p|Nidoran♀|female}} Nidoran, gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]]. | ||
These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, which is commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior. | These differences are a reference to {{wp|sexual dimorphism}}, which is commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior. | ||
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, in the [[gate]] to [[Canalave City]], [[Professor Rowan]]'s assistant upgrades the player's Pokédex to be able to display the images for both genders of a species (as well as other [[form differences]]).

In subsequent games, they are displayed from the start. | ||
Later generations would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced varied much more drastically in appearance. One Pokémon, {{p|Meowstic}}, even has a different {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}} and learns different [[move]]s through [[level]]ing up depending on its gender. | |||

Some species of Pokémon have differences in appearance due to gender in the Pokémon world, with noticeable differences between the males and females. With the exception of the differences between male and female Nidoran, gender differences were introduced in Generation IV.
These differences are a reference to sexual dimorphism, which is commonly seen in many real lifeforms and may offer some clues to their biology and behavior.
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, in the gate to Canalave City, Professor Rowan's assistant upgrades the player's Pokédex to be able to display the images for both genders of a species (as well as other form differences). In subsequent games, they are displayed from the start.
Later generations would introduce far fewer Pokémon with gender differences, but those that were introduced varied much more drastically in appearance. One Pokémon, Meowstic, even has a different Hidden Ability and learns different moves through leveling up depending on its gender.
