Yeah... I've seen them and given them a fair chance, I think I can make a fair judgement.

Yeah... Misty's closure is horrible... May and Dawn get to pursue their dreams, they travel and still pursue their Coordinator dream. Misty is a Gym Leader against her will for the rest of her life, she'll never reach her goal and she'll die as an unhappy person and will be single forever because her sisters won't give her permission to see Ash again...

I also don't really like the newer series.

Do you also think it's bad that Misty is a Gym Leader now?

I do:
- Misty's goal is becoming a Water Pokemon Master, NOT a Gym Leader!
- Misty's sisters took Misty away from the love of her life (Ashyboy).
- At the Gym, Misty can't improve much more, she already was a Gym Leader before the anime started, and most challengers will be weak ones... Misty needs to travel!
- The deal was that Misty would only be a Gym Leader until her sisters came back, but they're back and made no effort to regain their positions, which means they can force Misty to be a Gym Leader for the rest of her life.
- Misty's sisters still are the owners of the Gym, so Misty can't appoint a replacement and leave... They would have to do that, and they're too lazy and mean to do that. Because of that, Misty can never leave...

If she would've been able to travel on her own, I would've been able to deal with her departure much better than now, she's unhappy and she's a prisoner in her own house now...

Thanks for liking my fic!
