Many of these people stopped following the franchise after Johto, they only really know the earliest pokemon. I'm strictly talking about the people who were kids who followed the franchise during the fad days, then largely dropped it somewhere around 2001-2002 and never came back. I obviously know this doesn't apply to everyone.

precita, may I ask what's with your problem with people wanting Misty back or Johto in general? I mean it's fine to dislike them, I for one don't like either of those things, but this whole thread exists solely to say "Hey Misty has been gone for a while let's make people feel old". Again nothing personal, but I just find this whole thing bizarre.

I initially made this thread out of curiosity. It obviously doesn't matter to me what characters people like in the pokemon fandom.
A lot of us began the pokemon franchise with Red/Blue and the Kanto saga of the anime more than 15 years ago, so of course people would have at least *some* type of opinion on this, even those who don't care for Misty at all. |

This just seems like a way for you to complain about Misty in front of people who, like you said started out with Gen I, anime or games to be perfectly honest. To entice a reaction out of the community for some reason or another.
But to answer the question itself whatever it may be, I personally don't feel anything to Misty not being part of the cast for a while. Not to say she won't be back since the writers did acknowledge her existence in the last episode of the BW anime series. So they may bring her back one day, but until then, I'm not too mad that she's been gone a while.

UPNetwork consists of a lot of old fandom veterans who have been part of the online fandom since the early 2000's especially. There are many people here who are only familiar with Misty and/or the original trio, having not kept up with the anime since. |

Not watching the kids show doesn't make you someone who lives under a rock. I'm pretty sure there's not a single soul here whose knowledge of Ash's traveling companions cuts off sharply with the end of Johto.

But there are better ways to go about this than making a thread dedicated to rubbing salt into Misty fans' wounds about her not being on the cast...
So basically you want to hear people say the old series are the best thing ever and all new things are bad, is that right? EDIT: Damnit Talon you took the words right out of my mouth.

Even Talon said he originally stopped watching the anime around the 200th episode of Johto, and then sparingly caught an episode since until XY. Its pretty obvious a lot of other people on this forum are the same, so they're not as familiar with the later anime characters as people on forums like Bulbagarden or Serebii are, for example.

I keep up with the show in as much as looking up the screencaps, reading synopses and checking how attacks look for ASB purposes. I've not watched it since early BW because a) I can't read subs while watching a show and b) the English VAs finally shredded my last nerve between Ash and Iris.

I'll admit I haven't fully watched any episodes after DPP, and I only watched some of the early ones of those. I've never been able to watch any BW because ohmygodwhydoyouexistCilan, and I only watched the first 10 or so episodes of XY before losing interest.

The history of the XY thread is based in this fact. I never would have made a thread for XY if we hadn't already had three of us (myself, bbb, and Doppel) discussing the series' earliest episodes in the Suggestion Box. And the two of them would have never have likely picked up XY had they not previously investigated Unova. And they would not have investigated Unova if it were not for -- wait for it -- my on-again off-again posts in the Suggestion Box about Unova. Which brings us to ... Quote:
... Nooooooooooo. ^^; I've never said this and that's because it's just plain false. What I have said, many times, is that I resumed watching the anime five years ago (circa Fall 2009) with the final season of the Diamond and Pearl series. (First episode I started up with was this one, then just aired, though I circled back around and watched many of the season's immediately-preceding episodes as well.) I watched every single episode of Diamond and Pearl from then on, every single episode of Best Wishes, and (thus far) every single episode of XY save for Thursday's episode. Quote:

Also, its not as if Misty or Brock's relatively long runs are much of an accomplishment since most of that time the writers treated them as background fodder (Misty in Johto, or Brock in every saga after he came back), while the others are generally better focused on in the timeframe they're around. There's a reason nobody considers Misty or Brock to be the best developed or utilized companions of the series, unless you refer to the pre-Johto days. |

Honestly, I don't really adore Misty as much as others, but I don't particularly mind her as the criticism she gets can get out of hand, of course its nothing compared to the hate Ash gets. But even she of all characters doesn't deserve to get hated on constantly just because of some writing problems then.

*shrug*
The only point I was trying to get across was that Misty hasn't been part of the anime in a very long time. I was also wondering if anyone here still followed the anime enough to discuss it. That's all I can say. |

I really don't see the problem of wanting Misty back, seeing her meet Serena could be nice imo. I would also like to see Dawn return as well, and Iris I'm guessing will most likely turn up anyways.

Gen 6 has had so much gen 1 fan service in it (Kanto starters getting megas, Gen 1 sound bytes in certain moves-believe it or not, the VGC World Championship Battle was set to one of the most glorious remixes of the Gen 1 Champion battle theme I have ever heard) that I'm honestly surprised that Misty hasn't made a cameo yet to signify it for the anime.

Seconded here Myles, but I'm guessing Misty will be back for the obligatory Kanto remake remakes, Fire Red X and Leaf Green/Water Blue Y, or something like that. And besides they do have ORAS promotions left, I mean the new Pokemon movie is just ORAS advertising.

The truth is that Misty and Brock aren't really all that important to be advertised or showcased again. Its probably the same reason Brock didn't cameo in Best Wishes alongside Dawn. It was the same when HGSS came out back in the DP era, they had Lyra appear but didn't use Misty because well...Lyra better advertises the game then a token Gym leader. Misty's last episode appearance was back in 2005 at the end of Hoenn, not counting stuff like flashbacks or in the Japanese openings/endings. By next year 2005 will have been an entire decade ago, so the writers appear to be done with her. I'm not expecting to see her ever again, even if somehow Kanto gets yet another remake in the games. |

Well I think that... well Misty was just any other character. I'm not a huge fan of the first few seasons of pokemon, XY is my thing.
But they kept Misty in lots of seasons; 4 or 5? to be exact. More than any other female character in the anime, I'm pretty sure of. Maybe not? I dunno... Well 2 things: first, Misty already returned in the Advanced season. And second, Iris returned already I'm pretty sure in XY. So Misty will definitely not be coming back. Ok I'm sorry 'bout this but I'm completely fine with Misty not coming back....

I'm not sure why this thread was bumped, but its ironic it just happened since we're now in November. I made this thread last year in 2014 when it was 12 years since Misty left. Now that we're in November 2015...its officially been 13 years since Misty left. The Johto saga ended in November 2002, so it has been 13 years now.
Time really does fly. |

I am not, that is NOT, jealous of Misty. And for the record Misty isn't the greatest. I don't get why people like her so much. They would say that she's the first female character in Pokemon that Ash met but that's just so not true. Serena and Ash met way before that and why would the writers put that in? Because they wanted to have a female character that met Ash before Misty. I mean why else would that have happened. Just take a look at my autograph ;)
