Who's the girl in the opening of season 1?
 
You see Pikachu run in between her legs in the opening of Season one Episodes.

I think she's got an orange top, and a green skirt.
Now does anyone know who that is?
or is this debatable?

Vernikova August 11th, 2009 2:52 PM

No one knows who she is. She hasn't been in an episode that I remember so I guess that she's just in the opening. Just like Kamon in the Legend of Thunder special.

NotchedEarPichu August 11th, 2009 2:55 PM

You know I am wondering the same thing. I don't think anyone will know.

Misty4Life August 11th, 2009 2:56 PM

For some reason, I think she resembles Giselle. (From the School of Hard Knocks.) But there are noticible differences.

Yeah i thought it was Giselle too, but the outfits different

Misty4Life August 11th, 2009 3:14 PM

Maybe that's the outfit they were planning for her, but changed it later on?

Neko August 11th, 2009 3:39 PM

It was probably just a random character, like the ones you see in all of the crowds, cheering during the Pokemon battles.

Or maybe it was a lass from the Pokemon games. It wouldn't surprise me; those lasses.. urg. <__<; I would say more, but unfortunately this is a G rated forum. ;P

That is what I was thinking. But then again, when do I ever think?

DonRoyale August 11th, 2009 6:26 PM

I believe it's a basic Lass-type Trainer. However, she does resemble Gisele.

IceSage August 11th, 2009 6:35 PM

Technically, her name is "that girl."

JX Valentine August 11th, 2009 6:56 PM

She's not supposed to be anyone in particular (although she's closest in design to a Lass). The reason why she's in the opening is because during the Japanese credits, that image coincides with these lyrics:

For example, in fire, in water, in grass, in forests
In earth, in clouds, in that girl's skirt


(Note that shortly before then, Pikachu's running past Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise, all of whom are nods to the first line.)

So, long story short, random girl just there for the lyric lulz. Oh, Japan.

Greene1516 August 11th, 2009 7:30 PM

She technically could be the generic lass or Giselle really, since most cameo characters in Pokemon are actually based on a generic trainer from the games, such as the Raichu trainer in season 10 who creamed Pikachu, he was based on the male skiier.

Bakuzen August 11th, 2009 8:06 PM

LOL and for a while when I was a kid, I thought it was Ash's mom. HAha

Those silly japanese just singing about whatever they want... look at em over there... bunch of sillies =]

blade89 August 11th, 2009 9:08 PM

I think it looked like a (lass) but I could be wrong.

SilverStilletto August 11th, 2009 9:25 PM

maybe the japanese songwriters could only come up with those lines, so they put in a lass? or maybe pikachu or ash was originally intended to be a little pervy.

Well, it's supposed to show how awesomely dedicated Ash is about trying to become a Pokémon master, so he'd go anywhere to catch a wild Pokémon.

But the truth is, yeah, things tend to be a bit pervier in Japan.

Inferno1 August 11th, 2009 10:11 PM

That Girl lol if not just they added a regular lass to just kinda fill a spot

Silver_Hell August 12th, 2009 1:29 AM

I secretly hopes she's a special character for the end of the anime :3
...poor if there's no reason for showing her in the first opening :/

Well now you know,

Now... would anyone like to discuss where gary's cheerleaders went?
did they go home to their respective towns?
or do they stay at gray's house as an Elite Maid Cleaning Squad?

Yeah, this is why.

But I believe it's "Through that girls legs"
not
"In that girls skirt"...

I think it was a Lass design, myself. Maybe they were going to use it, yet never did. Silly producers.

Yes, it is a G-rated forum, so think clean thoughts. Think of a dead horse, as that will purge those feelings nicely. Heh.

Yes, that's what a Mod is for: repressing inappropriate sexual thoughts. What fun, eh?

I always thought it was Giselle. But wasn't there a girl who wanted to take Pikachu from Ash because she thougt it was adorable? IDK really.

Rucario August 19th, 2009 2:14 PM

Gary's sister, Daisy? I'm not sure.

JukainPwns August 21st, 2009 3:04 PM

No, it was actually supposed to be the girl character in the original Pokemon Green.I read that somewhere on a web site it said GameFreak was going to add a girl character to R/G/B but did'nt because of game space Limitations.Maybe they thought they could add her in the show Thats what i think

funnykid August 21st, 2009 7:21 PM

No. That girl is not Blue. What you said was true though. Nintendo originally planned to incorporate the feature of choosing to be a boy or girl in RBY, but later did not implement the idea due to limitations.

I read in a documentary that the girl in the opening is the generic Lass trainer in RBY.

Riggzyd August 22nd, 2009 2:11 PM

Ashs Mom maybe? O.o

thats just a guess

not ash's mom ... ash's mom looks different than a 12 year old lass

Twisted Cuteness August 22nd, 2009 9:51 PM

I agree with the random lass theory. makes sense as they sorta do look similar

Haza August 22nd, 2009 10:36 PM

Random girl. never noticed her before.

Queen August 22nd, 2009 10:58 PM

It says this on Bulbapedia.

"A Lass makes a very brief appearance in the theme song Aim to Be a Pokémon Master and Pokemon Theme. She wears an orange blouse and Pikachu runs under her. The character of Giselle, who appeared in The School of Hard Knocks, seems to be loosely based off the Lass design."

Tudj August 29th, 2009 5:50 PM

I think its either a random lass or Daisy, Gary's sister

Cloche August 29th, 2009 6:03 PM

Doesn't the translation say something like "up that girls skirt?" In the Japanese version? Pikachu does run under her.
But, on topic. It be a random lass. (in my opinion)

Ash~The Purifying Prince~ August 29th, 2009 7:52 PM

Hm well I always believed it was just a random Lass as many people have said, and it looks like thats what she probably was supposed to be. But Pokemon has had habits where random people just appear xD. So I'm going with what others have said, that its supposed to be a lass.
