I feel as if "True Pokemon Fan" and "True Pokemon Master" are the same. I think the latter is redundant, considering being a true pokemon fan would sort of classify you as a pokemon master...right? I know you mentioned that it's related to people who have caught them all or rarely lose battles, but I'd still put the same people up for both categories since they're kinda the same. xD I do understand what you're trying to get at, though. There just may not be that much of a difference for it to work properly.

Second, the best female/best male... I've met some cool people who don't identify as either. That's...not their fault. I don't think they should be voided from both categories because of this, but at the same time, I wouldn't know what else to suggest. "Best other" sounds kinda vague, and frankly I don't know of too many people who COULD fit that category. Point is... I dunno. =/ I would just like to accommodate for everybody but I can't seem to find a good solution to it.

Seems like you are making it more complicated than it needs to be. Best other seems very specific and might be more offensive than just tossing them into a specific group. If gender roles are a concern make it more specific. Best Naturally Born Male/ Female and best Hermaphrodite. Those three cover everyone ;)
