Did Misty love Ash more than Serena did?
The Misty x Ash ship was a localization thing.
>>58948698Asuka rejected a future were she married Shinji and had a daughter, Misty never stood a chance
>>58948711It was still implied in the Jap version of Pokemon 2000. It's more subtle though and mostly conveyed through her jealousy that Ash is getting attention from a girl cuter and more flirtatious than her.
>>58948698No she has a boyfriend in the games you never played
>>58948796The "subtlety" was just in people's heads, here's the actual writer's explanation of that scene>Why is Kasumi traveling together with the protagonist, Satoshi? I’ve written about this before, but the answer can be found in one of Kasumi’s lines: “It just happens that Satoshi is wherever I want to go.”>This line is delivered in response to a provocative remark from the guest character Frula in The Explosive Birth of Lugia, who says something to the effect of, “You’re Satoshi’s girlfriend? You have such bad taste.” That remark is also a provocation directed at Kasumi’s very role in The Explosive Birth of Lugia. Kasumi’s reply is, so to speak, a tit-for-tat retort.>Some viewers feel that behind the line “It just happens that Satoshi is wherever I want to go” there is a romantic feeling toward Satoshi that even Kasumi herself hasn’t realized. However, that interpretation comes from a fake-out scene (a deliberate red herring) that I prepared in order to make Kasumi’s presence stand out more.
