Which ignores the point of what the actual thing was made for. I don't think Japan or Pokemon/Gamefreak/Nintendo are going to make a "Brony like Pokemon"
so it really doesn't matter what the "supposed to be aimed at" might be.
It actually does since they are deciding what the characters get, and if they feel like My Little Ponyta should be given to a female character because they believe it was designed for girls then they'll give to a female character.
Don't act like there's a level of unknown autonomy at play here like what would be the case in real life (as in My little Pony attracting Bronies). As in "We designed Galarian Ponyta to be for girls" "Well crap, guess what Ash just caught one" "Wait WHAT, how does that happen?" "We don't know we were deciding Ash's team and we came in the morning and there it was Ash petting his new Galarian Ponyta, so we had no choice"
Ash has had a few feminine pokemon
Not really the point, it was still their choice to give Ash those Pokemon. If its their choice to give Galarian Ponyta to a female character, that's the choice they will make.
don't be so insecure as to be limiting because something is girly or whatever.
I'm not being insecure, I'm looking at it from THEIR perspective (or as much as random person can).
If Ash get Galarian Ponyta, then fine, I'll accept it, I'll accept any Pokemon he gets, I just don't think it makes sense, because I feel like they'd have to give a reason as to why Ponyta over any other Pokemon. Same with any big major male characters in the anime (not counting fairy type specialists)
I mean the only thing that I can justify Ash getting Ponyta from THEIR perspective is to give Ash one, after he bonded with a Ponyta/Rapidash in the original series. But comparatively, it would make more sense to give him Ponyta/Rapidash, not so sure on the Galarian form.
That being said I don't know what Galarian Rapidash looks like, so it could be far more neutral in its appearance.
silveon is kinda girly but its one of the best eons we've gotten so far.
And yet no male characters have shown to have Sylveon.
