I support PokeShipping the most of those heterocouples, cuz there's so many hints of AAML - much more than from any other shipping including Ash, truly. I also think Ash n Misty are super cute together. They both have a lot of temper and they both have a some kind of goal to be the best.

The idea of them together seemed very sweet back then (not so much anymore since they took her out the show/episodes) and they did give you some cute hints about them having some sort of feeling more-than-friends--ly towards each other. Now, sorry people!- but I totally love the idea of Misty and Tracey in the anime :3 -get's stabbed-

Oh my god, I completely forgot about that one!

Can you believe that some people think he's not talking about Misty when he says that? I mean who else could it be?

The only two people Ash could possibly be talking about are Misty and Tracey. Ash was alot closer to Misty and she was on the show a lot longer. Oh, and Aah said 'she' in just about every dub. So let's please not deny it, Ash was obviously talking about Misty.

That's exactly what I was thinking. But apparently some people say that since he didn't specifically say it was Misty, it could be some other girl he was friends with prior to episode 1 of the anime. (it might just be an attempt to denounce pokeshipping by anti-pokeshippers, but that's just what I've heard)

Let's see. Ash said, "A good friend left me and I miss her every day."

That means that the person Ash is talking about is female and is someone that Ash considers a best friend. Now Ash has known many females with whom he's become friends but baring in mind that this is from Pokemon Advanced, he's only become best friends with one girl at that point and her name is Misty.

For anyone to suggest that he could conceivably be talking about someone else is patently ridiculous.

Although he only says "her" in the dub, if I understand it correctly. Of course, I think the dub is unjustly criticized on many accounts, and I do think he is referring to Misty there, but it isn't necessarily indicated as such.

I understand it's a dub-only hint, but I was addressing what RadioactivCharmander was talking about with other people saying that the dub hint could be referring to someone else because Ash didn't say Misty's name. I was merely challenging that logic.

*nods* Misty is the closest person in the dubbed version.Since it's AG and Misty is his first companion,of course he considered as a friend and it's obvious that it is her and the closest..

I agree that the dub is harped on a little bit too much. People are too quick to discredit a dub-only hint, just because it is dub-only. My personal belief is that the guys over at the original wouldn't let the dubbers fabricate a romantic sub-plot by adding in hints. If I wrote a story or made a movie or something and I asked someone to translate it, I wouldn't let them add in any inklings of a romance that I had no intention of implying, but that's just me.

I think a new topic is in order. I guess I'll give it a shot:

You are transported into the anime as the character of the day in an episode. Misty is there (maybe she returned, maybe it's a previously unaired ep, it doesn't matter). What do you do?

Do you try to get Ash and Misty together? Do you try to get a few new hints out of them? How do you go about doing these things?

I would try to get them to spend as much time together as possible and I would be on the lookout for any hints of that former attraction (sneaking glances, blushing, little things like that) and talk to either or both of them about it. Hopefully, it'll bring about something that could be construed as a PS hint.

Haha oh wow, I actually have put myself in the anime many a time (more as a recurring character though haha.)

I'd probably tease them a good bit about it and get them to admit it. Or maybe even flirt with Misty purely to get Ash jealous or protective haha

I'd probably pretend to be interested in Misty (but only when Ash is there) so that Ash would get all jealous and start to question his feelings towards Misty (is it friendship? Or something else?)

I'd also share my cunning plan with Brock and Tracey - cause I reckon getting Ash and Misty together is their ongoing mission too.

I'd refuse to leave that episode until pokeshipping became canon!
(Not really, but I'd like to have caused a couple of good hints)

I wouldn't try to flirt with Misty since she's so unpredictable. If she seemed interested in me, then I'd just go with it and ham it up as much as I could, just to get a rise of out of Ash and (hopefully) make him question his feelings for her.

But I imagine that if Rudy hadn't given her flowers and complimented her every 5 minutes like he did, Misty wouldn't have given him a second look. Misty obviously just likes being complimented about her appearance (it's probably a complex of hers cause of her sisters) so any amount of complimenting would be sure to get Ash jealous.

If what you say is true, I could find something about her to compliment easily, so maybe I would flirt a little. Anything to get a reaction out of Ash.

Yeah, I mean it's just from observation, but Misty didn't seem overly bothered about Rudy until he started flirting with her, so that led me on to believe that she just likes the attention. Any amount of attention from another male is bound to annoy Ash.

Haha, lol. I admire your devotion.

Well, to answer my own question, what I would do really depends on where the series is. If I were in the last episode, I would get them together or die trying, of course. If it were a Misty-return episode, I would try to squeeze something out of Ash to prove that he still likes her. I might pull him aside and be like "I get the feeling that you like Misty, you know, as a bit more than a friend," and of course he would get all flustered, most likely denying it, but he would blush and be way too defensive about it. I would call him out on being overly defensive and he would either concede to me and admit his feelings, or continue to deny it. Either way, it's a hint. If he doesn't realize it yet, then I've made him think about it. I'd probably do the same with Misty too.

If it were like an Orange League or a First Season one, I'd just get them to do something shippy, like blush at something or show each other that they care. I like the idea of pretending to hit on Misty to get a reaction out of Ash. Ash hints are comparatively sparse so I guess my main priority in this scenario would be to get Ash to do something pokeshippy.

Or alternatively, all these 'potential suitors' could have one huge pokemon battle over Misty's affection, and then the winner would face Ash. (Cause we all know Ash would win, and even if he didn't, Misty wouldn't go for anyone else but him anyway)
