Yeah, ok!
I think its for the best those two didn't meet. The controversy surrounding it would have been too extreme. You'd have the original girl from a decade ago and the coordinator girl with a Piplup interacting.
The writers probably figured the two characters were too different to have anything to relate on, regardless of Piplup. A battle between the two of them would be even worse, because there would be complaining no matter who won.
Not to mention the fanbases of both these characters are too divided, and it would have been a living hell on the forums at the time those eps were airing.
So I think its for the best Misty and Dawn didn't meet. The writers played their cards right.
