I'll kill myself laughing if it turns out the Japanese wrote the special.Storywise, why must PokemonUSA/4kids/whoever made this constantly glorify Misty?
She's the one who gets a full battle against Aggron, gets to go with Ash inside the castle (while May and Max have to wait outside...wtf?), and is essentially the best battler.
Also, what in the world was May's, "Looks like I can do something right," line about when rescuing Misty?
Does PokemonUSA really think Misty must be constantly glorified and that May isn't as important as her, when the actual series says the exact opposite? This Misty glorification is highly irritating, thank god the Japanese writers don't do things like this.

CyberCubed said:May *always* does things right, that's why she keeps winning so many Contests as well as battles. To hear May play second fiddle to Misty as if she were "below" her, is absurd.
One can only HOPE it was supposed to mean something different but they used the wrong wordsCyberCubed said:Either way, why would May have a line saying, "See? Looks like I can do something right."
What bothers me is its not the kind of thing you'd say to someone unless you've had an arguement which means the line is obviously supposed to mean something.CyberCubed said:It makes it sound as if May is a bumbling idiot, who is always messing up and is not as good as Misty. I mean, if this was very early Hoenn I can see a line like that working...but in the Battle Frontier saga?

Thank GodCyberCubed said:On the bright side, there were no Pokeshipping hints in this special. ^_^ Thank god.
Dunno. Ask the Japanese writers. (if they did indeed write it... eheh. ^^;; )Either way, why would May have a line saying, "See? Looks like I can do something right."
No, she doesn't. She does some things right, some things wrong, and some things she lucks out on. Just like all the other characters. I swear you want May to be a Mary-Sue.May *always* does things right
I could've sworn Yung DID pull out the 'meddling kids' quote!>_<;Yung: I would have gotten away with it to, if it wern't for you meddling kids
Ash: Didn't you invite us?

Professor Oak had the most speaking lines in the special.CyberCubed said:In this special though, Misty took center stage for most of the episode. It wouldn't be as bad if they didn't give May that horrible line that degrades her character.
lolProfessor Oak had the most speaking lines in the special.
Oh CRAP! Could he be taking potential away from May and degrading her as a character?
Quick! We need to act!! Make May a Professor of Pokemon right this instant! We can call her Professor Pussywillow!
