Here's a new topic (and sorry if it's ever been posted here before)

Ash sends Misty a Valentines card, or vice versa. What would it say? What would be the other's reaction?

From Ash, I imagine it might say something like this (this is assuming he writes it out himself and doesn't get one with a dumb pun or a joke or something sentimental someone else wrote).

Happy Valentine's Day Misty. I'm sorry I can't be there with you and I'm sorry for not visiting but I hope you know you're in my mind and heart every day.

Love, Ash


Misty's reaction would be touched, obviously.

Misty's would say something similar.

Happy Valentine's Day Ash. I hope you have a great one. I wish you were here with Brock, Tracey and me to celebrate, but I understand your traveling situation. I think about you every day, and today even more so. I hope you're thinking of me too.

Love, Misty


Ash of course would be happy to receive the card (as well as feel flattered/guilty).


EDIT: I just saw a Pokemon parody of Jurassic Park on MAD-TV and it featured Ash, Misty, Jessie, and James. There were actually a couple of PS moments in the parody. I liked it very much (because it was very funny as well as Pokeshippy). If that was from a recent episode of Mad-TV, then the writers of that show obviously are cognizant of the ship in the fandom. Even if it's not recent, it was still nice to see.

I'd seen the first 2 before but that third one is awesome!

I guess do my own idea:
god how do I decide

but I think this is the best! http://sunshineikimaru.deviantart.com/art/AAML-winter-147644663?q=favby:firezard2/41942565&qo=26

as for the topic, Misty would probably send something she felt was heartfelt but didn't completely reveal her feelings since she hasn't admitted them yet.

Ash would send one of these
...but he would write something like "I really miss you" so she knows he still cares

RESEARCH DONE: The episode of MAD called "Pokemon Park/WWER" was new. It first aired today at 8:15 EST. Plus, the show's only in the second season, so even if it weren't new, it would still mean what you said. I can't find a video of it, but it's only been an hour or so, but I'll keep looking for it. I want to see this. Addendum: The episode will be replaying tomorrow at 4:45 EST on Cartoon Network.

I don't really know. I think they might vaguely hint at liking each other. Things like "I'll be thinking of you" or something. I can't seem to think of anything right now. Their reactions would both be like "Ash/Misty actually sent me a card! I hope it means he/she likes me."

The fact that they chose to put Ash & Misty in the parody rather than Ash & May or Ash & Dawn or even Ash & Iris AND show hints of PS (as in small instances, not official hints) tells me just how much PokéShipping has endured in the 15 years since the anime's inception if they're making references to it in 2011.

I agree. I think it shows that the writers of this show are on some level pokeshippers, and that this parody is basically their own fanfiction (or video). I think its pretty cool. I can't wait to see it.

Wow,lots of replies to such a simple post. XD

"Dear Misty, Our adventures are in my heart forever. From....Ash."

Misty: *Squeal*

And at the very least, this appearance in MAD proves that Misty is still a popular character even though she hasn't appeared in years.

Popularity has nothing to do with it. She's iconic, in the same way that everyone remembers the original theme song, and people only remember 151 Pokémon.

The people watching MAD now watched Pokémon 15 years ago, and stopped 10 years ago (more or less). The joke dies if they use any other characters.

Well, technically, there weren't any jokes that involved her character. Yeah, she said some stuff, but none of it was anything that any of the other characters couldn't have said. Also, because MAD and Pokemon are both on Cartoon Network (not Adult Swim), Pokemon USA could have cut a deal with MAD to feature Iris to advertise BW, but I agree with you. Most of MAD's viewers are probably not your typical Cartoon Network audience, so any female lead but Misty would have made it lose its familiarity with the audience. Misty is really the only logical one they could have used, but I do think that this very fact says something.

They could have used Brock. He wasn't there, and it's not like they had to use a female lead character.

SCREENS! In all their HD goodness:

NB: The segment is a parody of Jurassic Park, so Ash is supposed to be Jeff Goldblum.

It's my flickr account, made specifically for this purpose.

The episode's $3 on iTunes, if anyone's interested. It'll probably end up on Youtube (EDIT: see firezard's post above).

here it is in terrible quality but whatever its the only one.

Its alright but I will say their Ash as Jeff Goldblum is just fantastic! haha Especially his introduction and reaction to misty haha!

That was pretty funny. And even a tiny bit of pokeshipping thrown in too! What more can we ask for?

I told you guys there was a little bit of PS tossed in there. I really think it says something about the longevity of this ship.

Although I agree to some extent, I also think that to feature Misty in a modern-day show nearly ten years after her removal as a permanent character has to show her popularity in the anime, otherwise, like Sardonicus said, they could have used Brock instead, because he was in the original series too.

If they wanted to base it solely on the original series, why not include Misty and Brock? There are two main male characters in Jurassic Park, so they could've easily got away with it. I think that having Misty featured in it instead of Brock holds a certain amount of significance for pokeshippers.

.gif you can has:


It took me FOREVER to do that. I took sooooo long find some good freeware that could convert my .m4v of the episode to an .avi so I could convert that into a .gif, but i found some.

Yeah, why not just throw Brock in there for good measure? I would have appreciated it. It's not like they they're violating the canon of Jurassic Park. Whatever.
