Yeah, that's very true about Misty, people usually just say Misty is a worse version of Iris or that she is so overrated and her fans suck. That really sucks. While my favourite Pokegirl is May, I also feel that Misty gets bad treatment in Serebii and I really like Misty too. These days most popular Pokemon series in Serebii are DP and XY, being constantly hyped as gold ages of Pokemon. XY generally gets too much hype in my opinion. While I haven't watched enough of XY to properly review it, my general opinion is that it had a lot of potential and I love how Ash was a better trainer again and more mature etc, but what really takes a lot of XY's goodness for me is it's lack of continuity, and NOT A SINGLE ONE OF ASH'S OLD POKEMON APPEAR. I'm a massive fan of Ash's many Oaked Pokemon so it really disturbs me.
I strongly feel that OS, AG and DP were Pokemon's Golden Age (maybe OS was a bit better than AG and AG a bit better than DP but they're all very, very good series), but BW started Pokemon anime's huge downfall in my opinion. I'm honestly not even interested about Sun and Moon anime series that much, I follow on serebii what happens in it but I feel that I will only start to get excited about it if and when Ash wins the League (or whatever thing is in Alola) or better, some of Ash's Oaked Pokemon appear.
Yeah, I can really see your points. I think Kalos would have been a great place for Ash to win a league if the league itself was handled properly. League lasting 10-14 episodes, Ash using many reserves, Ash mega-evolving Charizard, old characters appearing in flesh for the league or at least cameos about them watching and you have ingredients for an incredible league.
