Welcome, Water Pokemon Specialist, and I'm pretty sure that there's an unlimited amount of Misty's pokemon to give out to new members.

Anyways, we continue with the boycott. Also, I must ask you guys, have any of you seen Part 1 yet? I mean, I didn't get any reviews since I reposted the link, and especially since I first uploaded it onto here.)

For the video, please watch it here (and Kasu-chan, If this is against the rules, then I'm sorry.):

Spoiler:

After watching it, can you guys PLEASE give your opinions in regards to it?

Also, Misty was pretty brave in the japanese version of "Here comes the Squirtle Squad" in the scene where the Squirtle Squad threatens to kill her. Plus, she was able to cook decently (I mean, SOMEONE had to have made meals in Viridian forest prior to Brock joining, and she did make the Salveyo medicene almost flawlessly, and plus, someone had to have cooked in the Orange Islands, since Brock wasn't with them.

Also, yeah, I do dream on Misty returning, and I will make sure it happens, no matter what.

Anyways, that's all for now.

EDIT, you'll have to click the spoiler tags if you want to see it, as, well, I do want to show it, but I also don't want to get into trouble even if I made sure to make it kid friendly by blurring some material out.

 

[Graceful]

your right,
I have a feeling Misty is coming back,
To give a message or by accident.

 

[nickstr]

I sure hope that happens or Misty returns at all but if not the desperation will spread and I am already feeling the effects of it.

 

[Graceful]

If not Im liking this club to the pokemon company!!

I doubt they would pay attention to what fans think and it is my belief that they could not care less. Big mistake if you ask me, shows like that go under all the time while the ones that live on are ones where the people in charge pay attention to what their viewers want rather than forcing things upon them whether they like it or not. One such show is Mythbusters which literally could not continue without suggestions from fans and it is one of the most popular TV shows out there. Sure these are in two different categories all together but there is a lesson about listening to what viewers want.

Which blows... I think part of the problem is though is, many fans also dont like misty. Several fan postings (and videos) about the pokegirls end up saying Misty is to boring for the show. I also know that in the PokeBeach interview they said aside from the eye-candy thing, they mentioned that Misty doesnt appear to like contests and they didnt want a male coordinator. Personally, Brendan as the coordinator and Misty as the female companion would have been nice. The major problem for us is, that the writing staff is not writing for international viewers. In the long run, they'll do the Japanese viewers bidding, because that's the show's target audience. I would love to see misty return, but we have to wait for our words to not fall on deaf ears.

Funny thing is, Most people don't like Brock (especially now), and most people ALSO don't like Ash and TR (believe me, there are threads popping up saying how they... err "suck"), yet the writers are keeping them on the show anyways.

BTW, speaking of fan videos, did you watch the first part of my video yet?

I also know that in the PokeBeach interview they said aside from the eye-candy thing, they mentioned that Misty doesnt appear to like contests and they didnt want a male coordinator.

so they only want females to be coordinators? Well, not only is that sexist and segrigating women (they're saying that only females want to be coordinators is no different than someone saying they should be a cheerleader just because "boys are doctors while girls are cheerleaders"), but it's also contradicting the fact that there are male coordinators (NOT COTDs, btw) on the show [like Drew, Kenny, Nando, and Harley {all right, bad example, but still...!}.], not to mention the fact that they even made ASH, of all characters, a Coordinator in one sense (He competed in two contests in Sinnoh, and three contests overall.)

The major problem for us is, that the writing staff is not writing for international viewers. In the long run, they'll do the Japanese viewers bidding, because that's the show's target audience. I would love to see misty return, but we have to wait for our words to not fall on deaf ears.

Really? well, for a company not caring for it's international audience, it did far more for the needs (necessary or not) of said international business. I mean, they had Brock removed for alleged fears of Racist controversies, brought him back when we realized that they don't care, they utterly replaced Japanese writing on the original version of the show, they allowed 4kids to add in several scenes of Pokemon 4EVER that weren't in the original, they replaced Jynx's skin color even though they could have just as easily ignored Weatherford just because "she's american and not one of us", they even hired some american actors to voice some characters in some episodes and even a movie (Raymond from Pokemon the first movie comes to mind).

Seriously, I don't buy the whole "only fanbase that deserves our attention is our own" argument since there were far more things they changed just for fans outside of Japan than for the Japanese audience. I'll agree with Nickstr and say they didn't listen to the fanbase, period. I mean, the only time they actually LISTENED to the fanbase was during the Orange Islands, which was to bring Brock back.

However, that will soon change, guys. The boycott is growing steadily stronger (I mean, I filled in on two Misty fans at AWA, and I met two foreign exchange students at a party and asked them to join our cause, and sent a full request by E-mail.)

Hey people, I don't want to join or anything but ask something.

Weedle, how does your future boycott work? How will it work? How do you plan it not to fail like SOVA's plans? If this doesn't work what will you do?

I don't mean to come off rude or anything, but I'm interested in it. That's all.

well, actually, it's more like my present boycott, as It's been in operation since May the 25th.

as for how it will work, it's simple, all we have to do is not buy any Pokemon Products and not watch any televised airings of Pokemon (The standards of our boycott, however, do not apply for stuff you already own, such as games, comics, Episode videos/season dvds, and the like, or to Fansites that don't sell pokemon related merchandise (as we need those things to find out whether Misty will return or not.).)

well, I plan on spreading the word to every Misty fan across the globe (through me or through other people I recruited.), and if necessary, get signatures to bring Misty back as proof of what we're capable of. (I actually got a quarter of my High school to sign my petition, with several others joining in from my videos.).

As for a failsafe, try the petitions again, and try to blackmail the writers of a boycott, with a larger petition as proof. Oh, and also making absolute sure that every Misty fan does fulfill their duty, like PMing me in regards to signatures.


BTW, Dark Lugia, next time you want to ask me something like this, try PMing me or going to my user-talk, instead of, well, you know, walking into a club without any intentions to join. No offense, of course, Just for future reference.

 

[Crystal Clair]

Misty was in the latest opening
Maybe she'll return soon

What?! It's great news! \(^.^)/ But I can't find this op. Where didi you see that Cristal Clair? She looks so cute on this screeenshot. I think this means she will be in next episodes maybe not for long but at least in a few episodes.

 

[Crystal Clair]

The next episode were announced a while ago up to 100 I think. Misty wasn't announced to be in any of them
As for the new opening - ...

 

[sirboulevard]

I hope so. She probably will. The writers never give cameos to characters in openings if they dont show up shortly before or after. I just wish she had gotten an outfit change. Her AG outfit wasnt really that cool... that one from the Luvdisc Episode was nice...

Actually I heard someone mention that it could be like what they did for Spurt, just some nostalgia thing. But what makes gad-dam mad is that MAY's stupid dull brown hair is blocking Misty's pretty vibrant hair.
Gosh, I'm tired and cranky today -_-

 

[sirboulevard]

Yeah, but Misty showed up for a 3 episode arc during Spurt!. Maybe they'll write her into the show a little more like they did with Gary.

No, that was even before Battle Frontier. Pokemon Symphonic Medley was still the opening then.

Actually, both Battle Frontier and Spurt had Misty but she didn't appear during either opening duration.

 

[weedle_mchairybug]

Well... that's a bit of good news.

Anyways, while I do want Misty to appear in the series again (preferably on the Main cast), I'm not sure that would count, as there have been times where they had characters on openings that never appear in the movies/anime at ALL despite appearing in the openings (Rivals and Spurt all say "Hi", as the majority of the rivals never appeared in the anime, and the Pokemon that were released never appeared at all, despite being in the opening.).

However, using the same fact that we can't completely trust openings, while it does seem likely that are having her only making a regional appearance [NOT a cameo, since that's more like 15 seconds, a blink and you'll miss it instant.], they also could be throwing us off by having her among May and Gary, and thus actually plan on bringing Misty back, and when she does return, they'll probably alter the opening to have Misty among Ash, Dawn, and Brock [assuming they don't replace Brock or Dawn, of course].

Besides, maybe the spanish website made a small error in regards to when it is supposed to happen. (I mean, the Aussie magazine said that Aaron was supposed to appear before Solaceon town, when, from what the episode summaries mentioned, it's actually after, and the same aussie magazine also implied that Ash was going to rematch Crasher Wake, when that isn't what happened at all, yet most of us still believed it, anyways. Besides, people react to Pokeani revealing an episode almost without question, when it also posted fake episode titles before [the Wallace vs. Dawn and the attacking Yanmega says "hi".].). I mean, if people were able to believe Pokeani without question despite it also being a fansite, and they believed the Aussie magazines when they also goofed up at times as well, whose to say we can't believe the Spanish Fansite?

@Crystal Clair: Yeah, I agree, May should be somewhat farther away from Misty. Actually, she shouldn't even be in this opening, IMO.

BTW, that reminds me, I removed a piece of trivia (or rather, a significant portion of it) from Pika and Goliath's Article on bulbapedia since the "Possible/plausible" explaination has too many holes in regards to it (it mentions the writers would need to explain a lot about Misty to unfamilar people in their target audience, and that she didn't do much in the LT. Surge episode). I mean, first off, the entire flashback (if not the entire episode) wouldn't even exist since most of these "Unfamiliar people" wouldn't even recall the Lt. Surge battle, and as such, they wouldn't even have Ash in his original series outfit, or even his AG outfit. His Caterpie wouldn't have appeared in a flashback in the 86th DP episode, and the 548th episode overall, and May most certainly wouldn't have appeared in the Wallace Cup (which, ironically, starts after Pika and Goliath). And in regards to her not doing things in that episode, the only important thing Brock did in that episode was give Ash the plan in regards to defeating Surge, and I think he appeared in the flashback as well, despite not doing much either.

BTW, someone really needs to comment on Part one soon.

Anyways, that's all for now.

 

[sirboulevard]

Well, I'm not gonna be apart of this debate... I have to focus those tendencies for my journalism and PoliSci courses...

I do have my own Fan art I'd like to post to the club though!
