I just hope that they make the hosos with Misty to give us some information about her before they make her return, and not just as some special features with no hope of her ever returning...

I agree with you on that. It's really irritating when they start to take out the original characters and its even worse when they try to replace them. You know, I read somewhere that Jessie and James were supposed to be replaced by Butch and Cassidy but weren't because of their huge japanese fan base; so maybe it was because of Misty's popularity that she was taken off for so long. But maybe those next to episodes she's suppose to be in will mark her comeback.

[Chairman Kaga]

Unfortunately the two AG episodes with Misty don't mention anything of a possible return, if memory serves me right...I wouldn't be surprised if she shows up again in AG, though. If she does before Ash makes it to the Hoenn league championship in Japan, then that would certainly be a good sign. As of now, her fate is in the air...

They planned to replace Jessie and James with Butch and Cassidy? That wouldn't be right...the reason B&C are so great is because they appear so rarely in the show, and that they're model TR members, evil to the core. But that would all be ruined if they were in every episode...no doubt they would be dumbed down in a way that only suits J&J...

[Kenta-kun]

Are you for or against Kasumi, Rose Flame? Butch & Cassidy (I don't know any of the TR Japanese names...) were only ever minor characters, appearing every now & then, but Jessie & James remained the main TR characters for the series. Kasumi has been almost totally replaced by Haruka now; if it is as you say, then Kasumi must not have a very large fan base in Japan. By saying that the replacement of a character is based on their fan base, then you're also saying that Haruka is a more popular character than Kasumi (and by saying that, u're bound to get uber-flamed by almost every1 in this club)

[Chairman Kaga]

I think she means that it was by Misty's popularity that she wasn't taken off for so long...a typo, I believe.

I'm sure Misty has a huge Japanese fanbase...but then again, Japan cares about the American fanbase too. I heard somewhere that Brock was brought back because the Americans were upset that he was gone...

Then her argument completely works against her....Kasumi wasn't taken off for a little bit of time & then brought back, she was actually replaced by another character

[Misty Lover17]

Ironicly, they just showed the episode last night where he returned. Of course, it was because of Professor...........

[Brock goes and hides in a corner] Brock:"Don't mention that name"

If the Magikarp salesman can make a reappearence[which he just did in Japan], then Misty can surely reappear and return. That would make both us and Ash happy.

Brock was replaced by Tracey, though...and I think Misty's been gone in Japan about the same amount of time that Brock was gone...but since the Orange Islands arc was only one season, and the Hoenn arc looks like it's going to be two seasons, so they can't replace May with Misty again in the middle of an arc, so we'll just have to wait until the end of this league like we had to for Brock to come back...

[Ryoutarou]

Wait misty has been gone WAY longer then brock was, he was only gone for the orange league which was 50-somthing episodes. Misty's all ready been gone for more then 70 episodes.

[~Ozy~]

I believe she'll come back, just because of the massive size of said fanbase. The reason it'll be a while, though, is due to the time required to complete the Hoenn arc. If the were to jolt the storyline like that by bringing back an older character permanently right in the middle of an arc it'd make very little sense overall. Besides, all the little kids who discarded Misty the instant they saw May might get upset by her sudden and unexplained reappearence.

Speaking of Misy being discarded, a while back I had a horrible dream. In it, I was sitting and talking over Pokemon with a friend. we're in a crowd of children, and Misty enters the conversation. Then one of the little punks comes up and says "Who's Misty?" I remember wanting to strangle the kid even after I woke up.

Oh jeeeez, are you seriously saying that i have to have one of my Evidence on Misty's return rants again?! ><

Guys, please, lets not start a opinion war. This is the BMB, for people who want her back. Being pesimistic about her return makes everyone despressed. Kenta-kun, its not very respectful to only post in this thread to make a argument.

I guess i will put my points in though ; Here ya go Misty Fans, this should make you more confident.

1. The Relationship - Right, shipping's a factor, and we'll need to take all factors into account if we want to figure out whether Misty's likely to come back. And no, the Pokeshipping subplot is NOT resolved (Duh ). Misty likes Ash - she's liked him ever since the Orange Islands - and it's clear to see from the HoSo specials that the writers haven't forgotten this. Misty's feelings are a dangling plot-thread.
The writers spend - what was it - four seasons? Five? - developing Misty's crush, then give her an incredibly shippy farewell scene in Gotta Catch Ya Later (the handkerchief, "well, Ash Ketchum, now I finally know what you think of me"), and plant several little reminders of the crush's existence in Misty's HoSo specials... and all for what? Nothing? Just chuck it straight out the Window? I really don't see that happening @@ The writers got rid of Togetic for a reason and have kept Misty in the dark for another reason. Don't get me wrong, i adore Togepi, as you may know Togetic's one of my fave Pokemon, but i really think it's for the best. Togepi was basicly destroying Misty's character, she had to act like his mother 24/7, she always had her attention on him, and he was always in her arms. Her personality was running dry and she had less time to focus on Ash. If she is to come back, Misty will come back fresh and better than ever. And ofcourse she'll have more time to concentrate on Ash ^.~

As for Misty being left in the dark, its almost as if she's suspended in time.
There's levels of suspicion, viewers pondering over wether she'll return or not. Tension. Thats what the writers want, it keeps their viewing levels high, keeps the Misty fans watching. Its almost like a cliff hanger.

2. May/Advance shipping? A threat to AAML and Misty's return? - AdvanceShipping is virtually baseless IMO. Am I the only one who doesn't think that there is any basis whatsoever for AdvanceShipping in the animé?
There are slight hints, of course, but no more than for the totally-discredited GymShipping (Brock+Misty). I don't even belive in those ones. However, Ash has never shown the level of attachment to May that he has to Misty. He has referred to her, indirectly, on many occasions, often in May's company.
Ash's relationship with May is that of senior to junior Trainer. She is his Apprentice and, no doubt, he has been of great help to her behind the scenes. However, he has never shown the emotional closeness and vulnerability towards May that he repeatedly did towards Misty. Nuff said.
As for May and Max, i belive they are Seasonal characters made to put some spice in AG. People claim that Pokemon was in need of some new characters, so they introduce May and Max. But IMO May is a a avertising character, she was brought into AG because she is one of the playable characters in Ruby?Sapphire, and they thought she would increase the R/S sales. Thats marketing. May and Max i belive will be left behind at the end of AG, Hoen's their home country. If Ash and Brock go back to Kanto, May and Max won't go with them IMO.

Anyhoo, i have a few more points to make, but i have to go now ; *Waves* Heres some piccies guys!

[Chairman Kaga]

Eh, I'm not keeping an exact count. I suppose my point is that they can't bring her back until an entire arc is completed...

[Gohan's Chick]

Hey, do you guys mind if I join?

[Kenta-kun]

I appologise for sounding pessimistic. I was just looking at things from a different pov, I do not wish to force my beliefs on anyone here (on a completely unrelated note, does Wally appear in AG at all?)

[Misty Lover17]

So far, there has been no appearence of Wally in the show. Brandon made a cameo in Jirachi: Wish Maker in the beginning seqence which explains the world of Pokemon, though.

Sure you can join Gonan's Chick! Welcome!

On an another unrelated note, my sister wants to know if anyone here can play Lugia's Song on a flute or a recorder.

Your points are great Tatts! Also, your attached pictures didn't appear at all.

I see you got Doc Ock as an avatar Kaga. Thats cool! I just nicknamed my Octillery Doc Ock! I can't wait to see Spider Man 2. My sister can't wait ether.

I'm not going without showing a picture of our cutie, so here's a very cute picture of Misty from the episode Hocus Pokemon! [the one where Ash gets turned in to a Pikachu]

Don't worry about it Kenta-Kun. Sorry for bursting out like that, just goes to show how fiery i am like the red-head herself ;
Don't take it personally, i was just having a bad day
So yeah, i'm real sorry.

Oh? Wally? I have no idea if he has/is appeared in AG *Confused* I'd like to see him make a appearance, cause i thought he was quite cool in the R/S Games. Does anybody have any info on him appearing in AG?

*Checks Member list* Wow, we are on a roll this month! =D
Welcome to The BMB Gohan's Chick!

Thankyu ML for the comments! Ya, my pics seem to be invisible on that post don't they? ;p Sorry, i think i forgot to attach them *sweatdrops* Heres some! Gosh, i don't have enough pics of Misty by herself, they always have Ash in too ;

[Zeo]

that Middle pic is from one of the eps she comes back isnt it

[Chairman Kaga]

Yeah, Doc Ock rocks, just had to make him my avvy

And welcome, Gohan's Chick! Hope you have fun here, the only qualification for being here is that you're a Misty fan!

Nice pics Tatt and ML! I love that one with her starry eyes, it's always funny when she does that...she doesn't go into starry-eyed mode nearly enough And I especially like your first pic, Tatt! I love Misty's hair there, it's so different from what she usually has!

[asher_son_of_ash]

O.O; Great points, Tatt!! Anyway. And I like the Starry eyed Misty pic too. X3

[pokeknight]

Welcome!
Hey! huys i think that the writers had also forgotten that they started pokemon taking Kasumi and Satoshi being made for each other!
As for Haruka replacing Kasumi; i want haruka never to return then like Tracey did! :D

[Chairman Kaga]

Yeah, a bit of reasoning is that Ash can't be her guide forever, can't he? Besides, she's more interested in contests than battling, so May and Ash are going to have to part sooner or later because of their different goals...

at least I hope ._.

[~Ozy~]

Good point, that one. Besides, May'll have to grow a spine eventually (just my opinion, folks).

Also, a great big welcome hug for GC. CVisit often, visit well, and have fun.

As for my pic review: Starry-eyed Misty is always cute, but I'm glad they only put her in occasionally, to overdo it would kill the kootness. As to Tattsu's piccy's, well, I love them all, particularly the third, which I love.

[Misty Lover17]

Well, if Misty dosn't return, we can always do this.............. take their bases!

In A.D. 2004, war was beginning.............

[exploding sound]

Director: What happen?

Prouducer: Someone set us up the bomb.

Exec. Producer: We get signal.

Director: What!

Exec. Producer: Main screen turn on.

Director: Its you!!

Tatts : How are you gentleman!!

Tatts:All your Misty are belong to us.

Tatts: You are on the way to cancelation.

Director: What you say?!

Tatts:You have no chance to survive make your time.

Tatts: Ha Ha Ha ....

Producer: Director!!


Director: Take off every 'ZIG'[zagoon] !!

Director: You know what your doing!!

Director: Move 'ZIG'[zagoon].

Director: For great justice.


That be funny! [turns proper English back on] Of course, she will come back. I just felt like doing a All Your Base thing. It would be funny if someone here did a Flash for this club using AYB. It makes sense. It would have alot of Misty pictures, of course.

[Chairman Kaga]

XD Pokemon meets Zero Wing...I could do that if you want, I have a zero wing rom that I can get pics from...but how could we tie that into the misty club? XD That "All Your Misty Are Belong To Us" phrase is hilarious
