'''There's really two reasons this happens:'''
# It's a lot easier on the costume/animation department if everything is fairly uniform across the board for the generic cannon fodder and slightly less generic [[Monster of the Week]]. There's also an easy story justification when monsters are involved: simply put, they are all modified forms of one design, pressed from a single mold, created by the same spell or, in the case of the first generation of [[Star Wars|Imperial Storm Troopers]], [[Cloning Blues|cloned]] from the same guy.
# In the case of where the single gender protagonist(s) fight single gender monsters, this is probably to avoid [[Unfortunate Implications]]. Violence of men against men and women against women isn't viewed with the same sort of sensitivity as men against women. By reserving the men against women for developed characters (where you can develop very good reasons why they need to fight each other) and not having it for the [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]] [[Mook|Mooks]] that get steamrolled every episode, you can avoid accusations of the piece being inherently misogynistic or misandristic.
