Why must you always write in your post "you are entitled to your opinions" It's quite annoying. Anyways:
Misty has acted like a baby several times too, such as her fear of bug Pokemon, she would complain about certain scenarios (if I recall she has more than May and Dawn has because she was on the show longer) such as walking too much, being tired and last but not least following Ash due to him destructing her bike. If you were to lose s competition, would you not be mad about it or maybe complain about it? I highly doubt you will be thrilled of the idea of losing.
:t354:TG
Thumbs Up to that :)
She may have been upset about losing, but at least she didn't cry every time she lost after the first one. It's never a good thing to cry after the first loss. I mean, did ASH cry or throw a tantrum when he lost the Johto cup? Did he pitch a fit when he lost the Hoenn cup? Sinnoh cup? NO! If he didn't cry, throw a tantrum, or pitch a fit every time he lost after the first one in Kanto, why can't May or Dawn? And for the record, its all right to be upset for losing so long as you don't pitch a fit or start crying, and while Misty had moments where she was upset for losing, she also accepted it for the most part in a mature manner (case in point, her loss against Giselle, as well as her loss in the Whirl Cup).
And for the record, what you're referring to is not the same thing: Look, I've watched Princess vs. Princess, I saw how Misty reacted when that girl-mob stampeded like brainless people. That in itself was enough proof that she was absolutely nothing like May or Dawn. I've also heard of Love Hina as well as how the girls acted in that manga, I heard how they were portrayed was a bad thing. May and Dawn, not to mention the Fiorello Fangirls were also similar in that respect. Now, Tough, correct me if my interpretation is way off, but I think what I'm saying right here is exactly what you're trying to communicate.
I do not mind your argument, you are supporting what you are saying and I truly appreciate your way. But The thing I want to knock off is the criticism on Dawn and May. You like Misty, I am ok with that, but to say the others are horrible (which you didn't) is what I extremely detest.
Anyway, My reply after looking into this debate.....
I don't want to go all mad over misty because of her fans, but all I am saying is she is NOT better than any of the other girls nor are the other girls better than her. Everyone of them have their own personality, their personality is what makes each one of them beloved to me.
Misty's fear from bugs made her deep. She didn't have much things to do as much as May and Dawn, my memory about Kanto and Johto isn't so vivid but all I remember she did was carry Togepi, start flaming, and had a couple of battles. Is that too much? No. Does that make her bad? No! She did have some sort of uniqueness and as I said, she isn't that shallow.
May's nagging about hunger is what made her quite "funny" , the idea of someone desperate for food....it just makes me smile, so in other words, there is nothing wrong for her to do that, its better than a shallow character. Unlike Misty, May had more significance in the branch of contests. Its quite good to focus on different characters in that way, and Unlike Misty too, May developed MORE.......she first was against Pokemon Battles and such, you can later on see how she changed. She had her own rivals, conflicts, and development, so I dare you say she was the worst character or something...
Dawn almost follows May, A Coordinator as well, with a dressing of ambition. She as well had a significant role in Pokemon Contests, she was the one who had Ash learned Counter-Strategies and some cool moves. I also adored the way she was on Ash's side all the way, the way she discarded Zoey and whoever that guy was just to cheer on Ash. She also had her funny Piplup, he wasn't annoying at all, he was hilarious,
your just over-emotional and just trying to find a way to hate the series if you say he is annoying. I think Dawn, beside Misty, was the one how showed affection to Ash xD . Dawn was also skilled in Pokemon Contest later on, at first, her loss is what made her character interesting. It also added a taste of realism, I didn't like how the main characters always bypass the odds no matter what, Dawn broke that rule by 2 consecutive losses.
So as you can see, there is nothing wrong with all the girls, they had really good significance and roles whether its humor or.......Ugh...you know what I mean!
And BTW, Iris by far, is an EPIC character, I just love her! She isn't ugly by any mean, that's just racist D: She is nothing like annoying!!! She is amazing, her line "Your Such a Kid" is just so cool xD love it. Your just naggy and nostalgic of you say such thing as annoying <_< Or....you don't have a sense of slight humor.
By far, Pokemon did well in their characters....Non of them were unappealing to me by any means.....if you think they are, give a VALID argument! Saying shes "Annoying" isn't enough, coz I cannot tell whether that's true since not everyone agrees on that. Either give me a Solid Proof where the character was bad or just don't talk!
