Love between Ash and Misty confirmed by Pokemon officials?

I'm going with Elite Trainer Raven on this one... Duh.

Seriously, I think if the writers were into Pokeshipping, they would have done MUCH more when Misty left. The line "Now Ash Ketchum, I finally know how you feel about me" sounds like she realized he doesn't like her.

What did Ash DO in that episode to show Misty that he liked her anymore as a friend? Nothing at all.

Have you seen "Love at First Flight?". Ash STILL didn't understand, even at the end of the episode. The boy's as clueless as they come.

That happened such a long time ago, I don't even remember. But still, one example out of the many others doesn't prove that Ash knows what love is.
It proves he does know what love is,or at least a general idea.If he
didn't,he would have his usual dense look.Maybe the writers made him
smart in that episode.And why does everyone keep forgetting Giselle?
 
He might know what love is, but I don't think he's interested enough to notice that much. I remember the episode with Giselle.. maybe the reason why it may be ignored is that it's out of character for Ash to behave like that, as well as the fact that Brock and even James became googly eyed as well.
 
Uh, you do realize that when Misty said that, Ash was crying.
Brock left too! *gasps*

Ash didn't start crying until BOTH of his friends left. Why do people keep thinking Ash only cried for Misty? And so what if he did? People act like if they get a bit sad, it means they're automatically in love.
You wouldn't cry if someone that you didn't like left.
That's not true at all. A friend would most likely cry if a friend where leaving. By that logic, Brock secretely loves Ash or Misty (hell, maybe a threesome!) because he was crying too. He blamed his tears because of the "onions" (who the hell calls riceballs ONIONS?), but you could obviously tell he was sad that they were splitting apart.

Why didn't Ash think JUST about Misty after all of them split apart? At least for a couple of seconds, we could have gotten some flashback with just the two of them. Instead, 4kids has to create another flashback for them.
Oh yeah, as far as I know, Elite Trainer Raven isn't a romantic or anything and in that case, I wouldn't trust him to judge and say his opinion.
I've been thinking the same thing looooong before I noticed Elite Trainer Raven was here.
No offense or anything but you should trust a love expert when it comes to this.
So Ash and May obviously love each other as well, since they were both accused of liking each other by love experts in "The Bicker The Better!". This isn't hard to put together.
Wouldn't Misty have had a dissapointed look on her face if she found out Ash didn't like
her?Just look at everyones facial expressions in "Gotta Catch Ya Later".
Shouldn't Misty just have confessed her feelings then? That was the PERFECT opportunity, but instead she just rides off and Ash doesn't even look back and think of her in particular. He thinks of Misty... AND BROCK.

Why didn't Misty ride back if she thought she realized Ash loved her too? Regardless of Misty's look, there's still nothing in the episode to signify that Ash thought of her as a good friend.
It proves he does know what love is,or at least a general idea.If he
didn't,he would have his usual dense look.
I still don't remember the episode. But still, there's more evidence pointing that he doesn't understand the concept than him knowing what he is. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a general gist of it, but that doesn't prove he actually knows what it is.
Maybe the writers made him
smart in that episode.
Probably.
And why does everyone keep forgetting Giselle?
Ash didn't fall in love with Giselle. He thought she was pretty, as did every other guy. And he quickly forgot his "feelings" when him and Giselle battling. Love and attraction aren't the same thing. It's like saying Onigumo truly loved Kikyo. He LUSTED for her.

Misty would never have confessed her love for Ash because they are
kids.Simple.

Oscar and Andy were annoying idiots,so anything they had to say
was invalid,IMO.Filler characters,and nothing more.

Onigumo was also a greedy idiot.He wanted everything,but ended up
with nothing,except for a demon incarnate named Naraku controlling him.

Ash and Misty looked at each other with loving eyes.Neither one of them
looked at Brock that way.This was not dub added because the dub
doesn't change facial expressions.I guess it depends on how you view
the episode.Everyone has a different opinion.
 
Misty and Ash luv each other, plain and simple. It's more obvious than watermelons falling from the sky - if you miss it, you're not awake.
Everyone in the Satoshi fan thread, including myself, is jealous ^_^

Misty is a love fanatic, and she's a sap for those romantic happy endings.

They were still love experts though.

with nothing,except for a demon incarnate named Naraku controlling him.
That's not the point I was trying to make. I was saying Ash didn't love Giselle, it was more of an attraction. Just because he got attracted to a girl, doesn't mean he loves her.
Ash and Misty looked at each other with loving eyes.Neither one of them
looked at Brock that way.
OK, but Ash still didn't really do anything to prove that he liked Misty more than a friend. And of course Misty didn't look at Brock that way, because Misty didn't like Brock like that.
This was not dub added because the dub
doesn't change facial expressions.
I never said anything about them changing facial expressions. But they did change the flashback (and song). Look at the original flashback here:

https://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/johto/275ps4.shtml

https://www.serebii.net/anime/pictures/johto/275ps5.shtml

Heck, even TRACY was in the original flashback (only for a second or two, but still). Notice how the dub focuses on Ash and Misty, while the original focuses on Misty's growth as a trainer IMO.

I guess it depends on how you view
the episode.Everyone has a different opinion.
Agreed.
 
Btw, you may wanna check Dogasu's site some time. In case you weren't aware, the whole shippyness of that episode was ADDED into the English dub. It DID NOT exist in the original.

I may not have experience in love, but I do know what I'm talking about. e_e Just because one has no experience doesn't mean they know nothing of the case.
 
All right I'm most likely to get flamed and/or bad repped. I don't give a flying heck but...
People for ****'s sake! Shippings are just extra little things Pok?mon fans have added since some like how TR looks so cute together. Others like how adorable Ash and Misty look or Ash and May. These "hints" are nothing more than your wild imaginations running away with you. Ash, Brock and Misty have been together from the very start there for making them very close and very good friends.

Ash may or may not be oblivious to love, that I'm not so sure of myself but one thing I do know of is that he is not interested in girls that way. Period! Ash crying cause Misty left? Yes, they had been through everything together and have been very good friends. Just 'cause he cried doesn't mean he has "feelings" for her in that way. But remember he also cried 'cause Brock was leaving as well. Two great friends leaving + you off without them = tears.

I am so sick and tired of all these "hints" and "Ash loves Misty" or "Ash loves May" >.0
There's loving someone and then there's in love with someone and Ash Ketchum/Satoshi is NOT in love with any character. Plus the dub does tend to bend things a bit as I have discovered myself <.<
 
Mwar, shippings are fun, I agree. Ya don't have to like it.

OMG! Thank you! Someone other than totodile and Elite Trainer Raven speaking clearly. Yes, shippings like I said were made by fans just to have a little bit of fun. But most people take it too darn far! >.<
I like the Ash and Misty concept but it's just because I find it cute. Nothing more.
 
If ya don't like it, DON'T POST HERE!

We all know by now, hopefully, that 4Kids added the entire situation between Ash and Misty, and possibly Ash and May now... Did they do this just to spise people? I really don't think so. In fact, I bet they're trying to lure in more people to watch the show just to try to catch any kind of hints. (I admit, they've dragged me in) Also, I think 4Kids is trying to add it in the series, hoping that the producers would see how crazy Americans are about this issue, and somehow "officially" continuing with it.

Or maybe not... (Hey, I'm just being hopeful!)

*I still don't get the Japanese version of Gotta Catch Ya Later!. Not to be stupid or anything, but why the heck did Kasumi run out of the Pok?mon center like that and then get the flashbacks of her growing up as a Water Trainer?!

Is their a website or something where I can find the japanese episodes
english subtitled so I can determine that for myself?

'Nough said don't ya think? <.<

If that wasn't clear enough for you I'll say it again. I-like-Pokeshipping
Just not "so-deep-into-it-it's-the-only-shipping-I-can-stand"
My point was that some people take shippings way too far thus ending in flames and character bashing and such.

I like that shipping I just mentioned. It's by far the cutest I have seen IMO and if I didn't like any shipping I wouldn't have posted here in the first place. I am simply pointing out something.

Huh? Then why are you so sick and tired of these "hints"? That's how the shippings started! From the sound of your first post on this page, (assuming that's the first post I've read from you) it does seem like you'd hate this topic... Then again, I didn't quite read your siggy all the way... SORRY!!!

Shadow of Ash said:

Yup. I have to agree with you on this one. I might be one to overly exert my opinions, but I seriously don't want to cause a big commotion about it. (if I already did, my apoligies!) Even so, I express my feelings without flaming.
 
Whoa, I don't think the majority of us are saying they're going to go dating and get married, etc. What we're saying is that Ash and Misty kinda like each other a little more than either feels about Brock, Tracy, etc. *reads over* wow that sounded really bad

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.

You're gonna have to learn Japanese. No one subs the original Pocket Monsters episodes. SEVERAL people who understand the language have confirmed there's NOTHING between them.
 
If you are all denying the feelings, explain Pok?mon.com's response to the question. Maybe they are letting on something.
 
Yes, let's all believe Pok?mon.com. An American site that absolutely has no ties with the Japanese produced show surely must know more. e_e
 
I thought that Tajiri didn't want to involve a real love theme because the series was originally supposed to be geared toward younger audiences... Not to mention that the 'love' theme is getting kind of old in Japan...
