changing your character gender glitches out the game, apparently,
will result in illegal event flags as well, etc etc.

So...is this being worked out? Or being fixed?

don't think so.

Flags interactions are complicated..

well, anyway i spent half an hour making it possible, i tested this method with every pokemon exept GBA and Switch games and it works fairly consistently.

So here's the method:

Open your .Sav file in PokeHex.

After you open it go to "SAV" tab, click below on "Block Data" and another window should have opened, In the window go to "Block" and search for the Block "MyStatus", after that open the misc and change the "Gender" to either 0 or 1, where 0 = Male and 1 = Female.

After that close the window and go to "Trainer Info" and check if it changed your gender, this is a fairly important part, because this method dosen't always work and it have a high chance to corrupt the save data for some reason.

then simply Save the file and play.

Games with customizable trainer models would require replacing all the customizations with the other gender's values, for every place in the save file. Since that is undocumented, it is disabled in the GUI. Bypassing it with the block data, your mileage may vary.

the change probably looks okay at first glance, but you should do it at the start, then proceed to play said game to completion, see if it glitches any story elements etc.

a little bit late to this, but it seems that only the alola photoclub is affected, you won't be able to take photos after you changed your gender.
