Probably the same reason they didn't show a flashback when Dawn got Togekiss, they usually only reference old things once.
Yeah, I've noticed. Still though a lot of people were thinking about Misty & her togepi when this episode aired.

Has a wild Togepi in the Pokémon - Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles episode, "Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!", decided that it wouldn't be able to evolve, but hates both Togetic and Togekiss?
but I wish we got a Misty reference.
Me too cuz Ash and Brock should've been very familiar with Togepi and a flashback showing Misty's own Togepi or at least a reference to it wouldn't have hurt hee hee. But I guess that maybe there just wasn't enough time for that kind of thing.
Tbh, we didn't even need a Misty's Togepi reference anyway and I'm glad that we just saw a lot of funny moments featuring this new Togepi.~
I didn't think it was needed per say either, it's just that since Togepi is one of the rarest Pokemon in the anime, you'd think that Ash or Brock would've mentioned how they once had a traveling companion who owned one. ^^;
IIRC, it was implied that Ash had seen one before when he commented that Togepi were normally kind and friendly, which was good enough IMO.
And as far as the gender confirmations here go, I was shocked when Jessie's Yanmega was revealed to be female cuz it didn't seem feminine at all.
Lol, that was weird, though I didn't think much of it myself since in the end it was Happiny who helped against the Togepi. Happiny was awesome here.
