Well from what I remember it had to be the female holding it. Gen 4 when it first came out. Not sure so much now actually. I think due to how things have been changed over the years it's any now, but that would make sense. Interesting to think about all the creativity behind such items now. Light Ball, Evolite, and....what was the other? Can't remember xD
