Thumbs Up to that :)
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!
Well, to comment on your statement on Misty not doing much in Kanto or Johto, I might as well comment that I definitely recall a lot of things she did during her time. She was the one who got them out of the St. Anne, she also was the one who stopped the Tentacruel attack, she was also pretty much pivotal to Mikey's development, there's that Princess vs. Princess episode, she was the one who busted her friends out of Jail and busted Butch and Cassidy, she was the one who pretty much was the reason Ash even got a battle with Blaine due to her solving most of his riddles (something even Brock failed to do), and she saved Ash's life several times. Heck, had it not been for her, I doubt Ash would have even survived his first day (remember, he would have drowned had Misty not fished him outta there). I can also assure you that she did a lot in Johto, as well.
And since you asked about giving a valid argument about why May and Dawn are unappealing, I might as well give some reasons why:
First off, the characters seemed no different from the way those Fiorello Fangirls acted, or heck, how the Love Hina characters acted. Misty at least had differences that were noted. Besides which, they were mostly inappropriate to the age bracket, similar to the latter characters. I remember at one point, Brave the Wave, that May was implied to have stripped in front of company.
Secondly, at least in the case of May, she actually did exhibit instances of cowardace: In Movie 9, May simply let Manaphy get away at the hands of Phantom. I know some may argue the same for that oddish in Bulbasaur's debut episode, but this is where the differences lie between the two events: Misty had absolutely no way of trying to get to them, as Oddish was being sucked into a vaccum, and she was unable to grab it before it lifted off the ground, and Starmie and Staryu most likely would end up captured if they were used to rescue it so there was a severe amount of risk at trying to use them. May, on the other hand, had two pokemon she could have easily used to rescue Manaphy from Phantom: Squirtle, and Beautifly. The former was pretty much stated to swim at the speed of a jetski if not faster, which made it more than capable of saving Manaphy, and the latter was a flying type.
Might as well note that, no, Misty being replaced had nothing to do with my views against May or Dawn. Had Misty remained in the main cast and May and Dawn still acted the way they did, I still would have had negative viewpoints on May and Dawn. Might as well mention that when I first heard that Misty was removed from the main cast and saw May in a screenshot of a magazine, I didn't harbor any negative emotions against her for replacing her. It wasn't until I saw what the character was actually like that I became angered at her and tried to bring Misty back.
I mean, my distaste for them is no different than Carol Weatheford's distaste of Jynx.
