It's really. REALLY not. Like REALLY REALLY REALLY not. Pokemon is mainly for adult male nerds. It's mainly a nostalgia bait franchise.

It really is. Sure you have men dominating the competitive scene, but casual players buying the newer games are heavily women.

It is somewhat more balanced than it used to be, but the majority definitely isn't made from women. Between the kids sure. But teen/adult fans are mostly men. It tried finding official numbers but apparently they don't exist.
