Mechanics Pokémon should keep their randomized gender across a Bo3

Mechanics

What is the bug?
Pokemon can change gender in a bo3. Really only matters for Gen 5 VGC where Rivalry is used to get more damage onto Tornadus and Thundurus, but given the number of gender-specific moves and abilities, it shouldn't vary from game to game in a bo3.

Appears to be a thing in all generations.
