eevee is a girl pokemon, pikachu is your mother's only pokemon she can name, it's your girlfriend (lol)'s favorite pokemon.
Your dad and the call of duty / sport game crowd have never had any interest in pokemon. Collecting cute animals isn't male targeted.
Every starter appeals to a girl's need to have a cute pokemon, all the "waifu" mons are only male targeted if you're the 0.00001% who faps to fictional animals (if you think that's not a minority, go tell someone you do that irl), they're all female targeted pokemon.
Every girl who plays nintendo games owns pokemon, not every guy does.
