Okay so here goes.

So I was just doing random stuff on my black then I ran into a wild Gothita that's MALE and that looks just like any another female. That really hit me hard because it doesn't make sense for it to be like that. Since Pokemon cant change gender when they evolve it all led me to this question.

There is no correct explanation for it, it just is.

Its the same reason pokemon made it to where Mr Mime can be female, For NO REASON.

nice same with FEMALE Gurdurr lol
mmm... they are trying on some of the pokemon to assert different forms to appeal to gender quoes. Kirlia can evolve into gallade if male now, and i have hunch theyll start pulling off major overhauls with X&Y like they did with the dia/prl series....
Gardevoir can be female... 0_0
There IS a reason for Mr. Mime to be female. It's Japanese name is "Barrierd". Barrierd sounds gender-neutral.

Hi! The gothita line is based on "elegant gothic lolita" fashion, such as the style produced and popularized by the brand Moi Meme Moitie- which was started by the musician Mana, a man who performs as his ideal woman- an elegant gothic lolita. There is no doubt that Mana's influence played a part in this Pokemon design. If you look him up, you'll understand instantly. In addition, Japan has a long history of men playing the role of a woman on stage- called "onnagata".
