I didn't mind Pokemon at all, either. I was always a fan of Entei though, myself, if we're picking favourites! I did prefer Monster Rancher to Pokemon though, and for pretty much the entire time i watched the show, I had a thing for Tiger of the Wind.
I would never even try saying something like that in a public venue filled with football obsessed males!
Anyway, I was also a fan of Unicorns when I was young, as much as Wolves, Werewolves, Dragons, and anything really, just so long as it wasn't Human. Then again, the strange thing is that in the 80's, there was this push towards males liking not-male things, did anyone notice it? In Neverending Story, the youth of story liked Unicorns too, and look at Princess Bride, that kid was becoming completely enthralled by a love story. There was lots of stuff like that going on...
It seems like no one really paid much attention to the 80's, though, because the 80's did almost order people to blur the line between the genders, and that it was alright to do that. In fact, many movies of the 80's were more open-minded than a lot of mainstream movies today. Thank goodness for companies like Pixar developing non-stereotypical gender roles!
I'll wrap up by saying that I fail at man-topics, and this may be why I'm often alienated by gender roles, I can fake man-topics to a horrid degree, but it ends up like that episode of the I.T. Crowd, where Roy and Moss are trying to integrate with a bunch of football fans.
"So, what's your favourite team?"
* Roy looks desperately around the room for some source of inspiration, he sees a giant, cooked ham on a platter and blurts out...
"W...West...ham?"
