Yeah, I agree. The mere fact that one of the petitions ranked over 30000 signatures (which is one of the largest, if I may add) would almost be like a cherry on top compared to these facts. I'm surprised that the writers didn't seem to notice this and try to bring her back.

If I must say, the vocal minority seems to actually those who don't want Misty back, and not the ones who are true fans of Misty.

Well, if there is a way to organize all of these Misty fans, we will make sure she comes back.

EDIT: Then again, considering how recent rumors have Misty possibly making an appearance at least on April Fools day, they might have listened to us. However, we'll still need to take the info with a grain of salt, since knowing the date, it could easily be an April Fools Day joke done early.

I wan't to join too!
i like togepi or poliwag!

Kasumi March 7th, 2010 10:08 AM

It's great to see you MWM. I totaly love your ner fanart ^^

BridZworld March 9th, 2010 6:43 PM

Misty was awesome, her temperment and attitude was great to watch, she should definately return, atleast for a few more episodes.

Blue Houndoom March 10th, 2010 5:21 AM

Hey, I'm back... what do you mean, did you leave?!
 
Wow, I haven't posted anything since the end of January...

Well, I have been busy playing Platinum, and a couple of old Zelda games... You know, Ages, Seasons and Link's Awakening DX, that kinda thing... Which doesn't leave much time for clubs and forums, you know?

I've also been writing some fan-fiction for the Pokemon Tower. I just posted a nice little song-fic, under the name of "Professor Wolfsbane", called 'You & Me'. If you check it out, and like it, I also have more fics under the name of "Aussie Wolf".

FREE PLUG, YAY!!!

Most of my fics are Misty-centric... I even have a massive Misty Saga I'm in the process of writing, although I've only finished two of the six stories...

I should really get around to finishing some of that, BEFORE Heart Gold and Soul Silver come out, and I have to lock myself away in my room for two months to play them to death...

Oh well, at least Misty's in those games... And true to form, she yells at the 'hero' for bugging her... hehehe...

Dammit, this things still not letting me do smileys... It just keeps saying that I can't post URL's to other sites until I've done 15 posts! But I'm not doing an URL to another site, I just want a damned smiley!

Okay, I'm done ranting...

Oh, and legendroanw, welcome, and thanks for joining. Seeing as no-one else seemed to have noticed you creeping into the conversation there... You ninja you...

Sweet Smoochum March 10th, 2010 11:46 PM

Misty is the coolest! She has great water Pokemon. She's clever, talented, and funny. Misty needs to come back and have more Pokeshipping moments with Ash. We should all write letters to Nintendo and ask them to put Misty in a future Pokemon game so they will bring her back into the anime. In GSC, she said she wanted to travel someday. She can travel in a new Pokemon game, and make an anime appearence since they love to advertise.

Zizi March 11th, 2010 3:46 AM

I've wanted Misty back in the show for so long! Just to have the old trio of Ash, Misty and Brock all together again would be awesome cos they fitted together like no other group since! Misty's attitude was deffo a key component to making them such an awesome trio, she should deffo be brought back! Also compared to May and Dawn she was a much better trainer! Just my opinion lol but she was very strong willed and I'd much rather be watching a girl with that kind of attitude. :D

weedle_mchairybug March 14th, 2010 7:38 PM

Well, Spring Break (at least for me) is about to be over soon. I'll try to get signatures from my college peers sometime before early May relating to Misty coming back.

The Spring Break as a whole was a bit uneventful for me. I had to deal with my dog needing to recover from surgery (he had a large bladder stone), I failed my Driver's exam for the third time, and I also have yet to locate Jodi Benson yet (I need to ask her a few questions relating to both TLM and MGS [the latter is because she's suspected to be Suzetta Minet, the voice actress for EVA.].). I've also had some trouble with my computer (we were hit with a Guardian XP 10 upgrade that is a fisher, so we had to take it into Delta Computers in order to remove the popup.).

Anyways, I think we need to organize everyone who is a Misty fan to help bring Misty back, as we need an organized effort to even attempt to convince the writers.

kasumi_chan_x March 15th, 2010 9:45 AM

It's been almost 2 years since I've posted here and still no Misty appearance :/

I guess all we Misty fans can do is just wait and hope for an appearance some time soon...or ever. For now though I have been very consumed in the new HeartGold pokemon game. I think Misty's new gym outfit design is pretty nice!

Not sure what much we could do :/ it has been confirmed that she will never be permanently back. What do you have in mind?

I've stayed away from the games, anime, and merchandise since instigating the boycott.

Well, I was thinking we expand our getting more people so that we not only gain more signatures, but we also make sure they also join us as well. Similar to Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops's recruitment system, although without the knocking out the people and placing him/her into a truck, of course. (Speaking of which, I got the Peace Walker demo, it's pretty good.).

As for it being "confirmed" that Misty will never be permanently back, I doubt it. Yes, we had the word from Masamitsu Hidaka, but a few things we should note is that: 1. Masamitsu Hidaka is no longer the director of the series anymore, so his word won't be set in stone this time around, 2. Masamitsu Hidaka has had a questionable amount of credibility both during his time as director and after (he and his writers have once stated that Ash's Father was to appear in Johto, yet they recinded on that statement, which is the same as lying to me. That's also not getting into the issue about how he seemed to not know about Platinum despite being covered immensely by Pokemon Sunday, CoroCoro, and even Movie 12.), and 3. He himself also admitted that Brock would also not return during the Orange Islands, yet changed his mind about it when he realized that America doesn't care about what he looks like. If he can easily change his mind about Brock's fate, Misty's fate can also be changed.

The only true confirmation that Misty won't return (IE, the only one that actually is guaranteed to be 100% confirmation) is if the show ended up being cancelled (Since obviously Misty can't reappear if the show ends.).

What about Misty. Yes. I agree that Masamitsu Hidaka might not tell us all the truth. Besides that was 3 years ago (If think well). Everything might change from this time. I still believe that she will rejoin the group, because she wasn't shown for a long time. Even though it's a small chance.

Well, I do have to try and register for an exam (I'm planning to place it on a friday, since that's the only time other than a weekend that I can theoretically take my drivers test without worrying about crowds (since the major participants, High School Students, have to wait until 3 PM at the earliest to take their drivers test. Also, good luck at getting back your $1000 and retaking the test.

One of the primary motivations for getting my Drivers License is so I won't have to take the bus anyways (I can't begin to tell you just how I nearly end up late for class due to the bus running late.). Although I also need one so I could try and interview JB at her house. I have located her, though.

Yeah, I agree with that. Besides, he wouldn't have as much access to the truth about the show as he did in the past anyways, considering how he's been demoted to a mere Background Artist instead of the Director. I also think she'll return to the group eventually. The only way that she wouldn't after all is if the show was cancelled.

Quote:

I'll be sure to sign that if I get the chance.

BTW, I'm currently annoyed with Bulbapedia, seeing how I really need to make a certain change on a certain article, but I can't due to it being inactive due to server problems. It's also taking a very long time.

The change relates with Date with Delcatty, as the ending just seemed out of place, even IF this was how the dub went, or the Japanese version. Misty wouldn't "like" being a Gym Leader, and she certainly wouldn't refer to it as her "calling." I mean, if it were indeed her calling, she'd ditch her friends just like Tracey did with the opportunity of becoming Oak's assisstant, as well as acting exactly like him. Not to mention acting exactly like Jason Fox in regards to the first day of School in FoxTrot. I mean, a Gym Leader who enjoys the job and even referring to it as being her own calling would NEVER, and I do mean NEVER, try to visit Hoenn, even IF it was for a friend, and she definitely wouldn't deliberately delay her return to the Gym (which she did deliberately do in the Kanto reunion episodes prior to the battle frontier.).

weedle_mchairybug April 17th, 2010 6:06 PM

Sorry for double posting, but we've got a week left before the month deadline, so I think we really need to step it up a notch.

If you're going to have a busy time, fine, go ahead. However, at least leave some spare time to post on the club. I don't want the club to die out, especially considering how the SPPf clubs haven't been restarted.

Anyways, about Misty, I haven't gotten started on the petitions yet, but I will start them soon. I've done all of my Statistics homework for the weekend, I've read chapter 15 of my Physical Geology first time, and I plan to do it the second time after class on Monday. By the time Tuesday rolls around, I'll try to ask people around for their support.

Yeah. I know. I wanted to post closely before 1 month limit. I don't want this thread to die too.

I strongly expect Misty to come back in September (DP ending - yeah!). If she doesn't show up, I will probably give up my hopes for her any return.

weedle_mchairybug April 19th, 2010 10:17 AM

Well, I have heard of some interesting news that might work in our favor.

Apparently, a news flash mentions something about the break up of the DP gang, making a pretty big deal out of it. Assuming the rumors are true, that means that both Dawn and Brock are leaving.

Due to this, we have about... three, maybe four possibilities in regards to the new group:

Possibility 1: Ash, BW Boy, and BW Girl.

Possibility 2: Ash, BW Girl, and Misty.

Possibility 3: Ash, BW Boy, BW Girl, and Misty.

It's about 2/3rds likely from these possibilities that Misty might return.

skyluigi2 April 20th, 2010 12:22 PM

:P
lets hope this is true ^
although id prefer ash, brock and misty :(

iDuL April 22nd, 2010 8:48 PM

Well, I'd like to join. But can't seeing as though the OP has left.

weedle_mchairybug April 23rd, 2010 3:50 AM

Relax, you can still join even though Silent Tattsu had left. I myself joined long after she left.

I have as well....and sorry for not posting over a year and half...I have been extremely busy with senior year and all that stuff! However, I am back for good! I just started watching the first couple of seasons of Misty and it just reminds me how much I miss her and the good old days :D

weedle_mchairybug April 25th, 2010 11:52 AM

Well, I guess it's time to catch up, then.

We have about a 67-75% chance of Misty returning to the main cast now. We know that there are going to be at least two open spots on the main cast after DP (Assuming Ash is going to continue into the BW region), as the writers are placing a much bigger emphasis on Brock and Dawn leaving (Dawn and Brock have this advert that has sad music, implying that they'll leave, not to mention the summary for the final events of DP, namely the League and the Grand Festival.). The possible scenarioes, assuming Ash doesn't leave, are:

1. Ash, BW Boy, and BW Girl
2. Ash, BW Girl, and Misty
3. Ash, BW Boy, and Misty
4. Ash, BW Boy, BW Girl, and Misty

We can rule out May, seeing how she's doing contests, and explicitly snubbed Ash and said she wants to do it on her own. Max also can't join because he's still underage, and it's not even known if he even knows where Ash will be (besides which, Ash implies that, IF they ever meet again, it would most likely be as rivals.). Tracey would have absolutely no reason to rejoin Ash again as he's actually doing something he enjoys (being Oak's assistant), and Dawn/Brock is obvious. Therefore, the only possible returning character who could fill in the spot is Misty. Unlike the other characters, she's more than capable, and willing, to travel with Ash, and she doesn't like Gym Leading, anyways.

Again, that's assuming that Ash doesn't leave and they don't do a complete reboot of the series.

Brock is always leaving at the end of the generation and returns few episodes later. Personally I don't think he will leave permanently. Anyway it really interests me what they're going to do.

I'm tired of changing main cast. If they continue this, finally there will be about 10-20 main characters.

@Anime/Mangalover247
I understand you very well. And it's good to see that you still remember about Misty.

I know he usually does this, but the way they're doing it in DP makes it seem more solid. I mean, they did mention that Ash will need to learn some basic survival skills "when Brock's no longer around" in Doc Brock. I doubt that their mentioning that Brock is getting a new goal and airing a preview when Oak's haikus usually airs that focuses on Dawn and Brock with sad music playing in the background is of any coincidence, either.

If these were online, then I hate to burst your bubble but I learned, through the people trying to boycott against Viacom (like your boycotting against Pokemon, I'm trying to boycott and get people to boycott Viacom.) that online petitions don't work. They specifically said so. Maybe partially because people can get bots to cheat but adding more signatures.

Well, even if the online petitions had fakes, I can guarantee that my signatures in real life were mostly real. Speaking of which, I'd better get signatures before the end of the semester, which is about a few days anyways.

BTW, just out of curiousity, why are you boycotting Viacom. I'm glad you used me as an inspirational source, I'm just curious.

Well you're not exactly inspiring me. Other people have motivated me.

Viacom is a copyright bully. They went crazy over youtube and don't believe in fair-use.
Viacom is a huge company and they own far too much and have far much control. Plus, they're in charge of the crap that MTV has become.

Oh and Weedle, have you seen the new girl? She wears a bit of pink but overall she looks like she kinda captures that tough image that Misty does. She's older too. Do you think you will like her? Will she be like Misty and be a good example for girls? You can't rule her out saying her shorts are too short because Misty had shorts too and Misty wore the least clothing out of all the main girls.

You can't rule her out saying her shorts are too short because Misty had shorts too and Misty wore the least clothing out of all the main girls.

I'll have to wait until it airs in the united states before I can make an assessment of her character and decide what she's like.

And don't think that I'm going to blame her for wearing short shorts. Even I'm not going to do that. Besides, back in High School and Middle School, the girls had to wear short shorts anyways as part of their gym uniform.

She may capture that tough image in the picture, but appearances aren't everything. I remember when people actually thought Dawn was going to be that gothic emo stereotype just because of how she looked, and look how she acted (well, she's "emo" in the sense that she was like the female anime stereotypes, but that wasn't the "emo" other people meant.). I'd rather wait until she actually appears before I can actually determine what kind of character she is like. If she's at least enough like Misty to not be a Female Anime Stereotype, then although Misty hasn't returned, I at least got the next best thing. Even then, they'll still have to think of another character to add in as well (since, if the rumors are true, then Brock is also going to leave as well as Dawn.). They'll either add in a new male character in addition to the female character, bring Misty back in addition to bringing in the new girl character, bring Misty back as well as bring in both BW characters, or even bring Misty back in addition to bringing the male character, with the female character either being a recurring rival or not present at all.

EDIT: Speaking of not being present at all, apparently we've just received word that the new region, Isshu, is going to be very far away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh combined. So far away, in fact, that the only way one can get to the region at all is by boat or by plane. This might mean that Ash might not make it to the new region, and it will completely reboot. This might also apply to Misty, since unless she reappears and somehow got out of the gym and is travelling...

Semidos June 4th, 2010 2:09 PM

It seems like people in this forum still likes Misty the most. Good to see such things in the times when some people are trying us to stop talking about her and treating her like she never exists.

So, Sinnoh League is coming. I'm looking forward to see her at least watching Ash on TV, if not cheering him on a stadium.

§acred†Beo! June 4th, 2010 2:23 PM

I'm all for bringing Misty back! She's my favorite character!

weedle_mchairybug June 7th, 2010 5:23 PM

Well, bad news, guys. My Japanese class ended up being cancelled due to my Japanese professor getting into an accident in California and later having to undergo back surgery. Oh, well. At least I was allowed to keep my textbook, so I'm most likely going to self-teach myself.

For a bit more well news, I've been kicked off of BMGf permanently. Now, normally, this would seem like a bad thing, but I was planning to, assuming they kept me at a low-level ban, leave the site permanently anyways.

Anyways, I'm planning to get all signatures under order when I start. I shall start during the 4th of July.

CakeForTheSoul June 7th, 2010 9:18 PM

Honestly,Misty was the best and they took that away to make room for what I believe is second best,May.
Dawn to me just completely whiny,horribly dressed,Unappealing and I would rather deal without her completely.
I would of like to see more of Lyra as a main character instead but she was in there for a little which is fine but still unfulfillable for me.
But as for Misty I see her making a tiny little comeback for a couple of episodes then going back to her gym.
With the release of 5th Gen releasing the new girl is coming in and If they screw that up(Which they most likely will) I will lose some massive respect.

weedle_mchairybug June 8th, 2010 5:13 AM

I'll agree on Misty returning for at least a little bit, but I think that, if Misty has to leave, the Gym has absolutely nothing to do with her leaving. Remember, she still has a goal she needs to accomplish which is becoming a Water Pokemon Master. If Ash doesn't stay as being a Brain, then Misty needs to continue her journey, since being Gym Leader only gets you so far before she ends up becoming a JJM-like character.

CakeForTheSoul June 8th, 2010 9:15 AM

Yeah but Nintendo is to stupid to take Ash out of the show. It would benefit so much but the still will not do anything that drastic.

nickstr June 16th, 2010 1:32 AM

Just in the Johto games that hairstyle was NEVER featured in the TV series thus far and I doubt it will be. There are only a few times where her hairstyle has been changed and that was with the kimono, mermaid costume, and a couple of occasions where Misty woke up abruptly which were in Pokeball Peril and a Chronicles episode known as The Blue Badge Of Courage.

Anime/Mangalover247 June 16th, 2010 4:33 AM

I loved when Misty had her hair up and then when it was sometimes down, it brought cuteness and her personality.
@Crystal Clair did you draw that? That picture is totemo kawaii (very cute)

Piano Man June 16th, 2010 7:05 AM

Oh wow! 286 pages of pure WIN. Can I has club join?

I really hope they bring her back to the show. She's my favorite female character and tied for my favorite character (with Ash and Pikachu).

UGHH I REALLY hope she comes back to travel with the gang for good, and just let her older sisters run the gym... They came back from their world cruise, so why can't they just do it anymore? Misty needs to tell them "Up yours, I'm going to travel some more with the boy I like!"

Piano Man June 17th, 2010 7:00 AM

OH WOW! I knew Misty had some preference over May and Dawn, but I never knew there were OFFICIAL songs written about the two! You can catch them all on YouTube!

First, there's the goodbye in "Gotta Catch Ya Later," but there are also others called "Misty's Song," "He Drives Me Crazy," and (my personal favorite) "Under the Mistletoe" (the last one is hilarious). There may be even more, too.

Pokemon writers: WHAT in the FROODLENUTZKIE were you THINKING?!?!?!?

@Uzumakiyuubi, @x.g, & @Vulpes bicaudata Welcome you guys! I think we all need a topic, any suggestions? :cool:

mistywishmaker July 4th, 2010 9:58 AM

^EEK Crystal Clair, that's a wonderful fanart ♥ I would love it if Misty returned with her hair down.

Not even return full time, I just want some decent cameos once in a while! The Sinnoh League battles will end soon, so perhaps Ash will venture back to Pallet Town and Misty will get that long awaited cameo!

Anybody think Misty will come back to the Anime? XD

Semidos July 19th, 2010 2:58 PM

Permanent? I hope so.
Guest appearance? After Sinnoh League.

We'll find out soon.

Charizard★ July 22nd, 2010 7:13 AM

Hopefully she'll come back, I don't really like Dawn D:

nickstr July 22nd, 2010 6:57 PM

I don't either, Dawn is one of the repellents for me in reference to Diamond and Pearl. A Kanto appearance is just about guaranteed and I get the feeling things will get ugly if it does not happen.

Pokeslob August 8th, 2010 8:15 PM

Hi I'm new to this forum, but I love Misty and water pokemon so I'm joining this club!!


^^@nickstr I Know you from Bulbagarden!!^^

Pave Low August 8th, 2010 11:23 PM

I'm just giving my opinion on Misty coming back to the Anime: Since Brock is a Doctor now and is gone for good, Dawn has also left. So I think that Misty will come back with Max or just Max with May.

I'll first admit I haven't atched the anime in a while but...
why would max come back? he was a pretty minor character ...

but yeah if Brock is really gone for good it'd be cool to see Misty return

Speculators say that since everything is being rushed, there is a large chance Misty may not appear.

This may be crazy thinking but this could lead to the belief that Misty may never appear in the show again, except for cameos like in the opening.

I thought users already had that belief.

All I know is that as soon as I master the Japanese language to the extent that I actually seem like a Japanese person, and I acquire enough funds, I am going to go over to Japan with the intention of ending this whole Misty thing once and for all, even if it has to result in the cancellation of the show. To me, it's better that a show that doesn't give the majority of its characters closure and treats the majority of its female cast like... well... the Triplets from BATB ends up erased than allow it to exist and possibly corrupt the youth (which has already been corrupted enough for my Health class to even hint that Anorexia and Bulimia were caused by modeling magazines). If they won't bring Misty back to at least receive decent enough closure (meaning, she actually pursues her goal as a Water Pokemon Master rather than keep her holed up in the Gym doomed to become a JJM-esque character as a result), then the show deserves to cease to exist.

Besides, if you've seen my videos on youtube, you'll know exactly why I hated that stereotype.

The Last One August 12th, 2010 1:37 AM

While I'm christian, and thus believe in only one god, I do somewhat agree with Misty technically being the goddess of Pokemon, as she was one of the first main characters.

Say, you live in Japan? Since you're a Misty Fan, and you are Japanese, could you go over to either the Pokemon Company HQ, Shopro, or TV Tokyo and try to establish contact with the person who heads those companies and negotiate them into bringing her back? Maybe you should also bring anyone in Japan in your country who is a Misty fan, as many as you can find, right to their doorstep and picket them in a manner similar to a protest, and make sure it's significant enough for them to notice. If what some fans are saying is true and Japan only cares for people within its country in regards to franchises, then something like this would certainly cow them enough to bring her back. I'll also intend to back you up by finding anyone in America to help.

Kylie-chan August 15th, 2010 7:21 AM

Well, the fact that they've even sent Brock away and are trying to get a "fresh start" with the games implies to me they won't be bringing Misty back permanently. But I'd watch the series again if they brought her back for at least one season. :( I only watch the Misty seasons nowadays. They were just better overall and she's the best girl we've had.

weedle_mchairybug August 15th, 2010 7:29 AM

The only time we'd definitely know that Misty returning isn't permanent is if they cancel the show.

Personally, I'd rather have the show cancelled than allow the show to continue on with girl-swapping, especially girl-swapping with girls who are sexist stereotypes.

If they wanted to truly make a fresh start, then they should replace Ash and Pikachu as well, since that's the only way that a fresh start can truly happen (as it requires the complete elimination of anything old, and allow the main cast and absolutely everything to be new.).

Well, let's see how the new girl is. If she's good enough, while I won't completely end the boycott, I might put the alert status down until further notice. However, they'll still need to bring Misty back, even if the new girl is not of the Female Anime Stereotype, since she still needs to accomplish her goal, and not have her potential wasted at the gym to the point that she'll end up just like JJM.

Charizard★ August 16th, 2010 7:42 AM

Hopefully, Brock will come back soon. If all these good characters go, I'm not going to watch it anymore D:

nickstr August 16th, 2010 11:50 AM

True, there really will be no point in watching one of these days other than past episodes. I have been watching nothing but past episodes from the show's first and second generation for a while now but not doing marathons of them.

Charizard★ August 16th, 2010 1:01 PM

Only the first two seasons of Pokemon were good. The rest are just plain garbage to me :/

nickstr August 16th, 2010 8:45 PM

Those two are my favorites and in fact if I were to rank the seasons I do watch based on how much I like them it would go 1, 2, 5, 3, 4 based on rewatch value for me. Boomerang (a US digital cable and satellite channel) is airing reruns of Pokemon's fourth season right now which is fillers upon fillers at this point. Plus, nice to see you again Pokeslob and just like me I see you are branching out a bit.

Charizard★ August 17th, 2010 4:42 AM

Eh, I rewatched some episodes and they brought back good memories :'D

Hi mistywishmaker, good to see you back. I like this fanart.

Hmm. Time goes on, Pallet episode is getting closer and closer. Still hope to see her there. I can't wait.

RockHardSemi August 18th, 2010 2:22 PM

What's this Pallet episode? Are they going back to Kanto in the Pokemon series (TV wise)?

I haven't watched Pokemon in ages, I was tempted to buy the first series on DVD!

Welcome tot he club :D

They're going back to Pallet? O.o

Semidos August 19th, 2010 2:12 PM

Yes. 9 September. I hope to see Misty there.

nickstr August 29th, 2010 3:31 PM

Some people have doubts that its going to happen but her last appearance was a surprise going by episode titles and synopses.

weedle_mchairybug September 9th, 2010 11:35 PM

Well, apparently the first episode of BW will actually involve Kanto/Pallet Town, so there is still a pretty big chance at Misty at least making an appearance there. Let's also see how Iris does, and hope she's not like the FAS. Yes, I've heard that she was a wild girl, and thus unlikely to be an FAS, but then again, Kaolla Su was also a wild girl, and she ultimately proved to be no different than an FAS.

I'm probably going to be a bit irritated up to the next week, but it's nothing against you guys as it is that I've been banned from Little Ariel Forums due to my attempts for help in regards to writing a letter to Jodi Benson in regards to an interview, causing certain mods to misinterpret my intentions to be stalking her (even though that was not it, and if I say I don't intend to do so, then I mean I don't intend to do so.), and they haven't even specified when or even IF the ban will be lifted. Even BMGf at least specified. The fact that throughout this week we're having our front steps repaired, resulting in the use of a lot of Jackhammering, and the fact that the halloween store that recently opened on Ashford Dunwoody had some costumes that were completely inappropriate and in very bad taste.

Of course, even if Iris does turn out to be not an FAS, we still need Misty to return so she can actually finish her goal, or at least give us some satisfaction that she's at least actually pursuing her goal and not becoming an entity similar to JJM.

weedle_mchairybug September 17th, 2010 12:42 PM

You know, I just went to the AWA Convention, and I noticed something quite interesting about Pikabellechu's car in the dealer room. It contained Pokemon from all generations, including the just released Generation V, yet in terms of human characters, the only two characters seen were Ash and Misty. She could have easily used May, Dawn, or Iris in her place, or have the others appear, but she didn't. I'm wondering if Pikabellechu is a Misty fan.

nickstr September 23rd, 2010 7:05 PM

The first B/W episode premiered and I can say one thing about it, what a disappointment. Pallet Town was a whole SIX MINUTES featuring only Ash, Delilah Ketchum, and Professor Oak. So ladies and gentleman, START YOUR COMPLAINTS!

Yeah, honestly I don't get it. At this rate, Misty will only appear in the openings in still shots.

I'm not going to deny that B/W may turn out even better than DP but that doesn't give them the excuse to forget the first girl.

You know, I could just draw fanart of Misty to make it look like it came from the anime but there's nothing like canon. And also, I've quite run out of ideas for Misty.

And you'd think they'd advertise HGSS one more time by giving Misty similar clothes to her game counterpart but noooo.

Right on. That's a pretty big thing as well. Even if we could make all of the fanfiction in the world with limitless ideas, it still will mean ultimately nothing when it isn't even canon, since we are nothing more than mere insects to the writers. The only time our ideas would mean ANYTHING to the writers is if we overthrew them and took over the company.

And to be honest, from what I've read about the first B/W girl, Misty wasn't the only thing they left out. They also had Ash acting a lot more like his Kanto self. Yes, it's probably filled with nostalgia, but there's a big difference between acting like this when starting your journey, and acting like this right after five regions (counting Orange Islands) and not doing it since the first year up until now. And they also had Team Rocket beating Pikachu. Yes, I know it was most likely supposed to establish them as a threat, but they would have easily done the same thing by beating rookie pokemon easily.

Whatever the case may be, even if it is a lost cause, I'll still fight to bring her back, if not to stop sexism and pornography due to my religious upbringing, then at the very least to actually give her goal closure. In a manner of speaking our even fighting for our independence was a lost cause given the British's obvious superiority over 13 colonies who could barely even fight effeciently. I will not give up on Misty, especially if the only alternative to doing so is for me to transform into an entity similar to Scott85/Gliscor'd/Cybercubed/whatever he's called now and start hating Misty after abandoning her as well as her fanbase, mocking them cruelly and all of that. And I am not one who just sits around and complains, I will make absolute certain that I get the writers to change their minds no matter what. It may take me another three years for me to master the Japanese Language and emulating Japanese culture to the fullest extent, but I will do everything in my power to bring her back.

Semidos September 24th, 2010 1:33 PM

Yes. I'm very disappointed. Not only because Misty wasn't there, but that whole Pallet part was completely rushed. We didn't see even Tracey. I don't get it. Sometimes they make tons of pointless fillers and sometimes they rush everything like hell, that even the most historical and old characters don't have time to show up. This is shame! I sense some writing change.

This what I'm sure is that I will not follow anime longer. New series doesn't seem interesting for me and that whole not showing Misty only helped me with this decision. Of course I will always be Misty fan and will be coming here. So, just tell me when Misty eventually returns to anime.

AAMazing September 24th, 2010 2:33 PM

are you serious? yet another series without the return of Misty?? I remember when Diamond started, I actually tried watching again, back when Dawn was the new girl, and i couldn't get past the first episode. Too much. I'd totally start w atching again if Misty came back, and I'm pushing 20 years old. I just miss her so much :( I hope they eventually give her story some closure at least. her thing for Ash was forever left hanging. *sigh*

Not to mention her goal, especially seeing how being a Gym Leader will not allow her to become a Water Pokemon Master or even get her that much closer. If anything, it would drive her further from it, especially when taking into account the experience level of her challengers (If Team Rocket can be labelled as completely weakling losers just because of their loss to a Caterpie who was not only completely inexperienced, but also barely even functioning from the start of the match, then Gym Leaders are such as well). Besides, if Ash won't become a Frontier Brain even though that technically would have him succeeding as a Master, why should the Gym Leader be any different?

And I am completely unwilling to abandon Misty, not if the alternative is to become the same kind of monster that Scott85 is.

Da Games Elite September 29th, 2010 6:24 AM

I'll never understand why Misty is being overlooked by the Pokemon universe. Was she dropped in a black hole or somethin'? I mean, the character lasted longer than any of the travelin' girls, and yet they just conveniently forget about her? Pokemon is an anime that drags on longer than Dragonball Z, and that is an accomplishment in and of itself. In all that dragging, they couldn't once squeeze in some nostalgia for the old fans? C'mon, that's just cruel and unusual punishment if ya ask me!

And another thing: they keep alluding to Misty in openings and with that lure, and yet NEVER do anythin' about it. Why? Are they just the types that like to dangle fruit in front of a starving person while just holding it outside their reach?

People: the Pokemon writers are emotional sadists.

Simple as that.

nickstr October 3rd, 2010 3:45 PM

I never thought of it that way but I suppose all the proof is there and its undeniable. They can sacrifice a lame battle or training filler for something that older viewers will like at anytime but do they actually go through with that? ABSOLUTELY NOT and there should be plenty of time for this kind of stuff too now that these portions go for entire generations and they are always looking for stuff to kill time between gym battles with. Why not listen to some of the complaints that the long time viewers have and bring Misty back for a while. The younger people will like her too but I think they are afraid that younger viewers will like her more than Dawn or Iris and get turned off of the series.

weedle_mchairybug October 30th, 2010 8:58 AM

Well, one more day before Halloween, guys.

Anyways, apparently Iris acts a lot like Misty, so we at least have a successor to her in regards to keeping the FAS at bay, if not eliminating it entirely. Although we can't be absolutely certain until she gets into a situation where she acts differently from any FASs explicitly (like in PvP).

Even so, we won't stop in our goal to bring Misty back, even if she ends up no longer being necessary to carry out the goal of eliminating sexism, because she still needs closure in her goal. As far as I'm concerned, if Ash still has to get closure in his goal, then Misty has to receive the same closure as well, and being stuck at a Gym where she has to constantly lose to rookies is not good enough, not if it is not good enough for Ash.

I've currently got a C in Japanese class, but I need to ensure at least a "B" in Japanese before and master the language before I attempt to storm the Pokemon Company franchise, since I not only need to speak Japanese, but also act it as well in order to even have a chance at getting to convince them, since the last time I sent a person to go to Japan, despite mastering the Japanese language, she couldn't get through to the creators of Pokemon.

Crystal Clair October 31st, 2010 1:08 PM

So Weedle, where are you in Japanese, I've been studying it for about 8 years but since it's self-study, I'm not nearly advanced as I should be but it's ok because it's fun.

Btw, Takeshi Shudō, former writer of the anime and the one who had Misty leave had the reason he had her leave in a blog and someone translated it. It can be found on this page. However, even if Takeshi says Misty never liked Ash, doesn't mean other writers never said that.

To answer your question, I'm nearly done with Introduction to Japanese Part 1. Just one more normal test, as well as a Kanji quiz, an oral introduction and one project before the final exam, and it will be over. I would have been done with it at summer semester, but my professor ended up in a car accident in California that required back surgery, which resulted in the Japanese course being cancelled before we could even get our first test back. I also plan to take Part II during Spring Semester alongside other courses.

And I remember hearing about that on... BMGf. However, just because he didn't want her to be in a romantic relationship with Ash doesn't mean that she should be booted off of the show. There is the fact that that they could have just made them friends without even having to resort to romantic shippings (Or, to put it in Misty's words "He's not [Misty's] Boyfriend! He's a boy and he's a friend, but he's NOT [Misty's] boyfriend!"). I could cite a few shows and even movies where the main female and the main male do not actually pair up and just viewed each other as friends: Monk and Natalie/Sharona from "Monk", Claire Bennet and Zach in "Heroes" (of course, whether he is actually capable of being attracted to her or not is an entirely different matter), Quasimoto and Esmerelda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney Version), heck, May and Dawn, even.

Besides, personally I didn't see much of a hint at a relationship anyways. In fact, personally, I cannot fathom a romantic relationship that isn't Love on First Sight unless they at least mention that they loved each other if it is to be long. Then again... I also couldn't see any hints at Claire Bennet being even a closeted lesbian/bisexual in Heroes' previous seasons, or heck, even the final season, yet for some reason people were claiming that she did turn to that direction in the final season, which upon learning about it it drove me paranoid and mad (since it wouldn't have made any sense for her to become that when 1. She has had attractions to the opposite sex, so her becoming a lesbian was not realistic because a lesbian has to never have any attraction to guys since birth, and 2. even if it was bisexuality, it was not even hinted at in previous seasons, and my viewpoint is that they actually try to hint at it first) even with my inability to perceive any hints at a relationship, which made the final season a nightmare, but I digress...

Well, whatever the case, we still need her to return so she can actually receive some closure towards her goal that isn't the Gym.

*Reads reasoning*
"*BLEEPING BLEEP BLEEP* pardon my french but if anyone's purpose in the show is questionable it's team rockets. In the first gen they were epic and almost accomplish some of their plans (the hair salon for one) but... COME ON like Giovanni would let his agents stalk the same kid for 5 years and accomplish nothing at all, spending huge amouts of resources on giant robots to steal this one kids little pikachu. Now even 7 year olds can figure out how much sense that makes. Also, after removing Misty they had multiple people take her place, and one pokemon. Also Brock also has less reason to be on an adventure then Misty. He has what 10 little siblings to help take care of, AND he wants to be a breeder, which means studying and staying in one place, so him running about for years with a kid half his age makes very little sense.... So why do the writers think she can be a master of water pokemon if the only ones she sees are

By the way. HI! I would like to join the Misty fan club. I've had a huge crush on her since I was like 7 since I first saw her when I was playing pokemon Red for the first time.

Also my favorite Misty pokemon is her Gyrados

Welcome to the club.

And Brock had even less of a reason to continue on with Ash, as well. In fact, he arguably had even more of a reason for him to be put in a Gym (to paraphrase the old adage) than Misty ever did, seeing how his Gym had probably failed 2/3rds of the test and was even less maintained than Cerulean Gym. Heck, the first replacement seemed to fold a bit too quickly, and the second replacement actually managed to take her job as Gym Leader even less seriously than Misty's sisters ever did (and you have to admit that that in itself was an accomplishment, and certainly not something to brag about or compliment someone on), and she ruined the gym in more ways than Misty's sisters ever did. I mean, she gave the Gym a very bad makeover, and put a pool in the rock training area which nearly killed a few rock-types, which definitely would have caused it to fail those two parts of the PIA inspections, and most likely would have had it close down, even if she were present. Later, she managed to make it even worse by allowing shady painters (you know who they are) to ruin the gym even MORE than before, and basically, contrary to usual advise to small children, accept plane tickets from total strangers, and basically placed her gym at an unnecessary risk of being stolen from, and to add insult to injury, Forrest, the third gym leader, didn't even stop her, despite the fact that he has complete responsibility of the gym! Despite all this, Brock never returned to take control of the gym, despite the fact that this would have been the responsible thing to do. Personally, I'm quite surprised that he still didn't give the gym much thought. I know if I were him, the very first thing I'd have to think of is keeping the Gym in order and not allow anyone, not even my family members who kept on tarnishing the gym, tarnish it even further.

And if the reason why Team Rocket stayed was because they viewed them as the main antagonists and thus absolutely necessary, then they should have made them an actual threat back in Hoenn and not keep them around as the Comic Relief as they were at that time and wait until BW to actually make them a complete threat. One rule of making the antagonists main antagonists and thus irreplacable in a series like this is that they have to be a threat. I mean, even Bowser, probably a villain who acts like a comic relief character some of the time, at least tries to be a threat some of the time.

Either way, replacing Misty, regardless of how one chalks it up, was a huge mistake, and as evidenced by the ratings that Pokeani provided, the show suffered as a direct result even in Japan. Plus, keeping Ash and removing Misty, since they both have very similar goals, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. What's the point in even keeping Ash and having him follow through with his goal of becoming a Pokemon Master (in which the parameters weren't even defined well at all, not even in DP) if Misty, whose goal is similar, has to contend to basically becoming a punching bag and being beaten down by rookies. From what I can tell, she'll end up exactly like JJM prior to BW in terms of being a completely weak loser if she continues on like this, so she really needs to return to the show, if not to stop sexism and pornography (and for the record, I'm straight, and I'm against it because my religion states that those things are bad, and I try to take my religion very seriously), then at least to actually give her goal some sense of closure.

Hello, Im a huge Misty fan, I want her back realy :( * goes to cry* Also i want to join :)

I feel your pain, most of us want just that to happen. My thoughts toward the Pokemon anime changed dramatically because of Misty's departure and I have to go through some crap from the die-hard fans of the show bashing me because I am "stuck in the past" or are "wearing nostalgia goggles" or "can't move on" and to them I say consider the fact that I am even watching SOME of the show a miracle but if they don't look at it that way then screw them.

The truth is that i am like that too. I am still stuck in the past i watched all the seasons from 1st ep. to the end of Master quest. didnt decide to watch advanced. Pokemon is loosing his originallity. This happened mostly with animes like digimon an example "Remember Digimon first era. it has originallity, until the fourth gen i think when the Digimon was in its least evo. you can lie in on his body (What the hell)" Even i say ****** up. then just look another thing. The truth is that. i AM NOT GIVIN" AN" ACCEPTANCE TO THIS KIND OF ****! You and all the TRUE POKE FAN shall not give any acceptance to this new seasons. the true die-hard fans look up for the games they dont cared about the anime nor even movies since the end of master quest. Look up and youll see. "WHAT AM I SAYIN?" Firstly a true die-hard shall not even care about anime. Secondly as the cases of many DESCEPTIONED fans "I shall just run around the communities, watch pokeshipping (In my case) or any true original ship fanart. and send the next Best wishes season to **** someone else. Thirdly. Post many ideas as you can so The directors could hear it. Even. 4KIDS GIVE AWAY THE DUBBING RIGHTS!!!!RETURN AT LEAST THE ORIGINAL VOICE OF ASH! THATS WHY THE DUB ISNT LIKE THE OLD ONE ANYMORE! And fourth. Protest, give away some opinion about the POKE CRISSIS Level:50(My next thread).

Well, guys, going by the recently passed 156 bill in Japan, the Pokemon Franchise is most likely going to be in very deep trouble, and with it, possibly any chances of Misty ever returning.

The 156 bill is basically a bill proposed by the Democratic Party of Japan which will ban any Animes, Mangas, and Games that have virtual depictions of crimes and/or sex/pornography. Given Pokemon's similarity to animal fighting, and possibly the ex-pokemon directors admission of replacing girls for sexual fanservice, it's very likely that Pokemon will be affected, and it might result in an end to the franchise, if the bill manages to go into effect by July of 2011. We'll still fight to bring Misty back onto Pokemon up to that point, and if the franchise is eliminated, well, then it will be the time to call it quits, as there won't be a point in bringing Misty back if the franchise is eliminated.

Now, if the headquarters move to somewhere outside of Japan, or at least outside of Tokyo, and doesn't get cancelled by then, we can still attempt to bring Misty back.

EDIT: I initially supported the law, although only because I thought it would eliminate pornography for good (I'm a Christian, a servant of God, and I feel as though it is my duty to obey God's commands), at least in Japan. However, after reading Nickstr's analysis on some of the people involved, I've decided to reject it. I still desire to eliminate it, but I cannot allow a law banning Pornography to exist if the laws have loopholes that can be exploited by horrendous people so that they themselves can get away with doing horrific actions and getting away with it scot-free. From now on, I will fight this law passing so that we don't have a repeat of what the Graeco-Roman gods did to mortals, what the Greek Kings and Roman Emperors did to their subjects, what King Henry VIII did to Catholics and his wives, and what Napoleon and his Pigs did to the other Farm Animals in "Animal Farm." I hated that kind of exploitation, and as a result, I also see from those things how middle grounds cannot make a law work, and thus extremes really are needed for laws to truly be successful.

I don't think this will go after Pokemon its still fairly popular in Japan and if that happens it will be heading toward a repeal so fast that it would make your head spin. At this point I am a bit more concerned about collection Pokemon's original series on DVD but sadly Viz has not released any of Johto (except Master Quest but its freaking expensive due to scalpers) on DVD box sets which will work on region 1 NTSC players. As of recently I had to bite the bullet and actually buy a special DVD player which will play discs from ANYWHERE in the world but it was worth the effort.
