Did breeding mechanics change in Pokemon y?

Question

I've tried breeding ferroseed and charmander with ditto and every time I hatch the offspring I get a MALE. This is getting irritating and I started to wonder whether the breeding mechanics with ditto changed. Did they?

Answer 1

Breeding Mechanics did change, but the offspring's gender depends on the Pokemon itself. Ferroseed/ Ferrothorn have a 50% chance to be either Male or Female, but Charmander/ Charmeleon/ Charizard has a 87.5% of being Male and a 12.5% to be Female. Here are all the changes in breeding.

In fact I found ferroseed so tedious I just decided that catching a female was easier. I can't believe that charmander's is gonna be so much harder... oh and by the way it's charmander not chimchar (though the gender ratio is the same).

Oh, my bad xD

Answer 2

No, the breeding mechanics haven't changed with Ditto.
If you are breeding for Charmander, it has a 87.5% Male/12.5% Female gender ratio, so you will get more Males than Females.
