Love between Ash and Misty confirmed by Pokemon officials?

[Mario The World Champion]

I don't know about the rest of you, and this may have been said before... but I think those guys did that as an April Fool's Joke to give Ash/Misty fans hope that they will be together.

Like a few people have already said, Ash is not interested in having a relationship at this stage of his life and Misty's a sucker for romance and happy endings. Plus, Ash only sees Misty as a best friend and nothing more.

However, I don't think that Ash is totally clueless about love. A bunch of you used "Beauty And The Breeder" as an example, where Ash notes that Brock wants Suzie, even though she went off with Zane. And I do agree with you people on that. Ash is not clueless about love, he's not into it right now since he wants to be a Pokemon Master. I ultimately feel bad for Brock after that episode. He and Suzie should be together, but that's just me.

As for the deal about shippings, it's fun and I have a few shippings I like a lot, but I'll never flame other people's shippings. I think Shadow Of Ash said it best when she said shippings were made by fans just to have some more fun with the Pokemon world itself and some people do take it too far and start flames and such.

I do agree that there has to be a shippings forum here at PC. I got a feeling it will be very popular, or be a flame war waiting to happen.

Well... I hope everybody likes my two cents about the whole Ash/Misty and love thing. I do agree with some people that Ash really isn't interested in love yet. He wants to be a Master. Then, he'll worry about getting a girlfriend, getting married and settle down.

But, that's just me XD

The flashbacks in the Japanese version represented how Kasumi's come along as a trainer in all of the years she's been with the group on the show. Better as a sign of remembering her rather than as a sign of her "love" for Satoshi..which is non-existant.

Finally! Somebody answered my question!

...Or at least part of it. That still doesn't fit in on why Kasumi ran out of the Pok?mon center ticked off like that, Elite Trainer Raven! (Anyways, I appreciate you answering at least part of my question! Thanks!)

If you are all denying the feelings, explain Pok?mon.com's response to the question. Maybe they are letting on something.

Elite Trainer Raven is on to something! If you read the most recent post in their mailbag under "How to Catch Deoxys Explained", you should understand that they're just playing with your minds! I personally sent them a similar question in the past, and this is what they said:
"We don?t answer this question simply because we respect their privacy."
Here's the link to the old webpage that contained my question (it's on the bottom): https://web.archive.org/web/20031212090058/www.pokemon.com/mailbag/index.asp?MailDate=8/1/2003
(this webpage can look back on virtually any webpage!)
As you should figure out by now, they don't know! I'm pretty sure that Pok?mon.com doesn't take care of the series. I can only assume that 4Kids does, and they added the shippings for fun.
