Long awaited day has finally came ending years of dark, uncertainty and numerous let downs fans of this character experienced from pokemon.
Brock and tomboyish mermaid/water queen are returning looking lively, stronger and more badass than ever.
MISTY IS COMING BACK!
Bringing with herself no less but Mega Gyarados(one of best mega pokemon out there). Her priceless fear from bugs, pulling Brock away from girls feeling sassy, adorable and cute scenes with Ash Pikachu and long awaited reunion with Ash were just tidbits, but important reminders of why Misty character is loved so much, Having charisma and charm to make atmosphere around character interactions and action more enjoyable.
We waited for more than 11 long years for Misty to finally make return in person. This is priceless chance to learn what shes been up to. How much her life changed(after all you don't get mega pokemon by sitting at gym heavily indicating she was on journey on her own).
Receive follow up to Misty in lot of areas unfinished story, revive on irreplaceable and unique dynamic she had/has with Ash and Brock. With mega Gyarados showing Misty step up her game of becoming stronger trainer on road of reaching ultimate goal of becoming water pokemon master very seriously.
Becoming more respectable force than ever. Sure did likers who have low opinion of her cannot accept that she is skilled trainer trying in every possible way to degrade value and significance of her mega Gyarados and outcome of battle vs Ash. But we all know it will be close, unpredictable and heavily entertaining match to follow. Portraying Misty in light of not being pushover, but powerful trainer with lot of talent who can stand up to Ash at any time. Just like she used to be in past as well never seeming much behind.
Looking forward to Misty getting some potential development, finding out about new stuff going for her and how she will interact with Ash new friends.
Speaking of which:
Who do you think will have the most interesting interactions and chemistry between the SM cast and Misty and why?
Most likely Lana and to extent Lillie.
Lana is obvious choice due to sharing quite a few common point with Misty, Being water trainer loving oceans and marine life with Misty finding soul mate in this field giving girls material to talk about for years lol.
Her Popplio wont leave Misty indifferent either with preview scenes confirming that and I bet they could learn a lot from each other. Having to degree compatible personas. Not to mention both have sisters. Only in reverse order with Misty being youngest, while Lana oldest out of 4 giving them something they can relate toward each other even more.
Reason i mentioned Lillie is due to while not as dark as later character. Misty also had pretty rough and sad childhood not having parents present in her life, being downplayed and underestimated by older sisters neglecting her and imposing on her negative feelings of feeling inferior and filled with anger and fear. Taking time and lot of growth to overcome her inner conflicts related to that.
Followed by Misty herself having quite a few fears. From extreme bug phobia to until later trauma of almost ending eaten by Gyarados. Having lot of trouble in getting over that and starting to feel acceptable of this pokemon. With Misty experiences perhaps being useful in letting Lillie at least partially remove some of her inhibitions related to touching pokemon. Feeling more open toward that.
I think both girls could with their common point of having messed up childhoods and certain fears help grow each other.
EDIT:
Congratulations to all new members. I would liker to give you all warm welcome , make yourself feel like at home.
Being always delight to meet other Misty fans and exchange opinions about this great character.
Admittedly I neglected this place lately, what from work, obligations in real life which couldn't wait and lit of stuff going on. But i never forgot about it being now back.
