I sort of see where you're coming from with the fan vs. master idea. It makes sense, I suppose... I think I'd qualify as a fan but not a master, since I don't bother raising pokemon and training them all to level 100 and such. I more just adore the concept of Pokemon as a whole and love the franchise. So yeah, I think I see what you mean. That being said, I'll still put the same people in both categories I reckon. xD

Yeah, that's the thing. I didn't mean to start up a debate or encroach on tradition. I agree that getting rid of those categories wouldn't be sensible because then it's turning on its head and people who DO identify as a certain gender wouldn't get a fair go. I suppose we could have "best gender neutral" but that's up to Caleb, I guess!
