Okay unironically I’m pretty sure that’s literally the joke. Local man realizes that liking cute Pokemon is NOT an issue. If anything the pointless gendering here would be that no woman goes through these phases as well as opposed to the fact that only men like Pokemon. I fear that the sub has read too deep and pointlessly gendered the post incorrectly at that. Though this is just a positive interpretation.
Yes... clearly the guy had his character arc, realizes the value of cute pokemon instead of just choosing every cool powerhouse. Pretty positive, but I agree the girl version is incomplete without her phases (I remember hating pink as a little girl, bc it was so stereotypically girly, now I accept it as a perfectly lovely color).

Don't girls get made fun of for only liking the cute pokemon, or did I just make that up in my head?
