May >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Misty

It's funny this held true to the end of the show.

Remember how 20+ years ago people were stupid enough to think Misty couldn't be "replaced" and tried to make a big deal out of her leaving only for her to stay gone for 20 years and be replaced with 9 more female companions? Well it's the same for Ash. Liko's series has aired now and it's good...

I actually found this kinda funny when I realized it, especially for those of us who watched Pokemon since the beginning. Misty left the anime in 2002 in Japan, and that means by next year in 2022, Misty will have officially been gone from the anime as a main character for 20 years. She hasn't...

The show has improved a lot from the Johto days when it was just repetitive filler and misty and brock were basically background characters with no development and terrible battles. Amazing how the writers permanently dropping Misty from the series a whopping 17 years sticked for the rest of...

Why didn’t you like May in the Pokémon anime?

This is why nostalgia pandering is bad. I also think we've seen enough of misty/brock to last a lifetime, even if this is a remake.

Did people seriously think the writers cared about Misty/Brock? After the original Kanto season ended, the writers didn't even care about Misty/Brock much when they were actually still on the show. Considering it's also been nearly 15 years (!) since Misty was permanently dropped from the anime...

Cyndaquil should have evolved in the middle of the Johto saga. Ash's Johto team was generally poor and the lack of evolutions really killed it. The writers tried to improve it by making Heracross a powerhouse when he returned, evolving Phanpy in BF, etc...but the starters are still just kinda...

The anime is in its 18th season, its been over a decade since the original fad of the series died. What do you think? Its a very old show now, and kids of today don't watch Pokemon like they did a decade ago.

The anime has always run with the same formula, but I guess you've just outgrown the show?

Its a shame Shudo lost control of the anime during Johto. That's why Johto turned into a repetitive filler-fest and the show lost its charm from the first two seasons.

What went wrong was just the writing style. Ash was regressed for the first time ever, he captured tons of pokemon with no development, it had the worst league, and then a pointless filler arc where nothing happened. Serious TR was also botched and that could have been great. His main rival...

Well yes, but it felt worse with Misty due to the sheer mass of time she was on the show. The Johto saga was 156 episodes long, can you believe Johto alone was almost as long as the AG and DP series altogether, which were both 191 episodes? Misty was in the anime for 275 total episodes, which...

Keep in mind we have to split Misty into two characters here, since Kanto/Orange Misty is a lot different than Johto Misty. For me: May > Dawn > Kanto/Orange Misty > Serena > Johto Misty > Iris. Had Togepi not drained away most of Misty's personality in Johto she would probably rank a bit...

Its actually kind of ironic that Serena actually got less screentime at the start of XY than Misty did, although Serena's been improving as of late in the focus department.

There is nothing surprising going to happen here. Serena will win her remaining tokens and enter the Master Class showcase, most likely lose to a rival who wins the whole thing. Either Shauna will win the whole thing or some new rival will pop out of nowhere at the end like Solidad, etc. and...

Dawn and Ash were more like a brother/sister relationship. Dawn never had a confirmed crush on Ash, just a strong friendship. Misty's subplot was abandoned over a decade ago and with Ash/Serena being a current part of the show it depends what happens by the end of XY.

Its an almost tie between Kanto/Orange Islands, AG, and DP. XY is getting up there close with them too. Johto had some good episodes as well but got bogged down with too much repetitive filler at times. BW was OK, but definitely one of the weaker seasons.

Given that ORAS is almost a year old now I think May's time has passed, which is unfortunate because she could have had a good arc. I guess this proves the writers have no interest in bringing back an older female lead more than once after the following generation. For the same reason Misty...
