I guess someone's gotta stick up for May...
Misty had her moments of maturity. As for May she never has them, so I'd say I like Misty better.
Huh? May has had
tons of character development throughout all of AG.
May was just a way to throw pokemon contests into the anime.
Misty was an actual character, not just a minor annoyance to distract from the repetitive gym battles of the anime.
Sure it was for advertisement, but if you look at it, basically the whole show is advertisement for the games/whatnot.
How are contests *minor* annoyances? They're like, half of the show. Just like Ash's Gym/Frontier Battles are. May's a main character, so you gotta expect contests in the show, it's her goal/whatever to become top coordinator. :P If Misty was participating in contests, would you think differently? j/w
She isnt as fun and she doesn't meet the anime girl requirements IMO
O_O; She seems like a lot of fun in
her ending. Misty holding onto Togepi and sitting in the background is more than fun than competing in Contests? :/ Sorry, sorry...*shot*
Bleh, I fail at debating. x_x; [/tried]
Anyway, May > Misty for me. I've come to realize that Misty may never return to the main cast again, and I'm not going to sit/wait/hold onto nostalgia/etc for that to happen. At first, all May was to me was "Misty's replacement," or "in the way of Pokeshipping." It took a loooooong time for me to grow out of this phase, but after actually watching contest episodes, I realized she was a pretty awesome character. She eventually grew on me, and now, she's tied with Ash as my favourite [main] character. XD; I also really love the fact there's a main girl character in Pokemon. So, there you go. There's probably more, but I really don't know/care right now. o_o; [/end]
