Yeah that was apparently the original intentions of BANDAI.
Looking back now, the ads I remember watching on Disney Channel for Tamagotchi really did only have girls in them. I never realized that til now.
I think the thought process was probably like "girls like cutesy wootsy little characters! Boys like monsters that'll fight each other!"
Caring for a creature to keep it alive? That’s girl stuff 💅
If they didn't want boys playing with them, they shouldn't have made them poop.
