I liked how they always had the tension between Ash and Misty. Being in love and such. But after so long, it started to seem like a sexual tension. Which was funny, for a children's show. And probably one of the reasons they started doing other things, sidekick wise. Misty only ever seemed to be interested in boys and water pokemon, the later being fine.
Uh...were we watching the same show? I don't mean to sound mean, but...where was the sexual tension? And the only time that Misty ever shown any interest in another boy was that boy from Orange Islands
