Rumors of Misty's return

[~Lunar Lucario~]

I hope, she doesnt come back as a main character

that would hella suck

[JbstormburstADV]

Do they even know about the interview?

[XAOTL]

I must admit. It's like there is a new rumour of her return around... once every month.

I don't know (but if I had to guess, probably not) , but we all know it's not going to happen. Maybe a visit, but that is the most that could happen.

I don't really need to reiterate what all the others have already said but the writers have said that Misty won't be coming back as a main character. We covered this in another thread, although a more rememerable piece from that one is the writers calling the female characters "eye candy". The only reason that there are still rumors going around about this is simply that the Pokeshippers have such a big pull in all of the Pokemon boards. They can create rumors real easily that have little to no merit. Just nothing but wishful thinking.

It doesn't matter what is going around right now. The people who decide how and where to take the show have already given their opinions. Of course in the end that slowly moves back on the possibility of May's return as well but let's not get to that point.

Well, I haven't heard that rumor yet (stupid Denmark and me for not searching the internet for such things.) To be honest I wouldn't believe it until I saw it in the anime.

As for the question whether I want her back or not is simple. I don't actually care, it's been so long since they showed the episodes where she was a part of the group here in Denmark that I don't really remember how it was, so I don't think that Pokemon isn't the same without her. They showed all the episodes about the kanto league and a few of the orange island thing, then they stopped and only a couple of years later did they start on the hoenn league thing. So I don't really remember how it was with her in the show.

In fact I don't think I wish for her to come back, as said before, the pokeshippers would go crazy and annoying.

Hold on!! Stop everything!! Did Lucifer just say that the writers said the Poke girls are used as eye candy!!? (Faints) Thats news to me... I mean I know Pokemon is a Shonen Anime and I know perversion is a part of Japanese culture but.... you know Im starting to think that all those guys at T.V Tokyo is trying to piss all there fans off laughing at us while drinking sake.... weres the romance? the drama? yet they can think of more unrealistically attractive girls for Ash to converse with...

^Settle Tim, its not the end of the world.=P

As said by about everyone, its false. Really, a short arc would be nice and nostalgic, buta seasons too long for me to have her around. (I can only take so much pokeshipping.XD)

And does anyone have the interveiw? I'd like to read that if its in english.=)

[timoteyo7]

Might as well as be....

I would like to see this interview as well.

[Grand Warlock Naarghul]

Were I doing that interview, I would have then asked what he thought about those who identify with certain characters, and how you think they would feel about a much-beloved character (Such as Misty) be reduced to nothing but "eye candy".

Seriously, stuff like that pisses me off. After asking that, I likely would have broken his jaw.

[timoteyo7]

Thats just how I feel but thats the Japanese culture..... but something needs to be done I mean theres nothing wrong in making beautiful female characters I just think they should be more important than "eye candy"

[narutoninja44]

I agree it is wrong, but we can't really do anything about it. It must feel degrading, being a character only to be used as "eye candy". Its really sick actually.

Well, it was already posted in other threads here, but, here is the interview part where Misty not returning is mentioned.

And then, here is a quote from another part of the interview where the 'eye candy' part is mentioned.

What about the main cast on the show? Since he had talked about how they like to “switch them up,” I explained to him that many fans want Ash, Misty, and Brock reunited again together. But, he reaffirmed what he said in the previous interview and said it wasn’t going to happen. I asked him what he meant in the previous interview about Pokemon Contests, and he said he just meant that characters like May have come back for a few episodes in Pokemon Contests, so Misty could come back too. He said, however, that Contests don’t appear to be her thing, so if she were to come back, it would probably be to join Ash in a battle or to just meet them somewhere. So then I said, “Why can’t you just ditch Brock, have Ash, have Misty, and then bring in a new boy? That would be switching up things instead of having a new girl.” His following answers made me laugh my head off – I had to pick it up off the floor and reattach it. He stated that they like to switch up the girls because it gives the boys some new eye candy every once in a while. He also said girls are more customizable and you can change their outfits, like when they are in their bathing suits (yes, he specifically said that). He also said Ken Sugimori designs a new girl with each generation and that gives them another excuse to switch the girl, though I reminded him that there is also a new boy with each generation too, and it wouldn't hurt to use them.

Again, those were already posted here, but hopefully that'll clear things up better now?

[timoteyo7]

yes it is... Pokefans should be outraged. but just as NN said we cant do anything... god even Evangelion gave there females large roles... oh well at least this rumor most likely isnt true.

*reads underlined portion of interview quote; sighs* No freaking way... >_< *glances at Panic Button; trys to resist stomping on it*

Sometimes I wonder if the writers are just putting in shipping hints just to screw with our minds. >_>
