I couldn't see them getting rid of Ash for anything because of his Pikachu being Nintendo's Pokemon mascot, but that is something to think about. I couldn't see a newer person having a Pikachu as a partner either since Pikachu are "Kanto" specific. I think I mentioned it earlier in this thread how Hikari seems a bit like Satoshi. Even her journey is a parallel to his. It would be something if the writers really phasing his character out. Satoshi is "Red" pretty much. The fact that they managed to keep him (and Roketto Dan) around so long is interesting, especially since with D/P, Satoshi, imo, unless it changes more so later on, has taken a backseat to Hikari compared to his other female companions who have traveled with him. In the later D/P eps, does it still feel that it is Hikari's show and Satoshi and Takeshi are her co-stars as opposed to its being Satoshi's show with Hikari and Takeshi as his co-stars?

I will say this, though. If they got rid of him, I don't think I'd be able to watch the show. I just started up D/P's series last week and I've kind of grown attached to his character again like I did for Kanto/Orange Islands, but that aside, he's just been around too long.

I will say this much, Pokemon had never been the same anymore, especially in the D/P series. But I can't imagine a new character replacing Ash nor Dawn taking over the show. Besides, contests aren't the main focus of the games. You can clear the game without those ribbons anyway.

^ All I can say is... the new character better be damn good to replace Ash's awesomeness.

Off-topic: Can anyone tell me the episode for this picture? And if the moment their hands are broken apart in the video I posted is the same episode or not...?

As a small bonus for the day:
Ash and Misty Trailer is actually an advertisement for a fanfiction, but I'll bet this is how all of us Pokeshippers feel about our ship.

If Ash left the show, then I hope he'd go back to Misty. But if Dawn became the main character, the show will never see me again.

Same here. I've never liked Dawn in the first place. I was hoping one of the other game protagonists to take over.

It's from the episode "Foul Weather Friends," where they meet a girl with a bunch of Hoppip and an Oddish with an identity crisis.

Has anyone ever thought that the writers might have the story focus around Dawn, and leave Ash to his own devices, only to show up once in awhile? That would really make it possible for Ash and Misty to get together again. Diamond and Pearl really has been the Little-miss-Dawn show, after all.

Haha, I like the way you described it.

But yeah, that has its pros and cons. It would mean Ash and Misty getting together, but Dawn becoming the main character. :/

I do like Platinum from Pokemon Special though. She's way better than Dawn in my opinion. I found Dawn pleasing in the games, but her image was kinda ruined in the Anime.

Anyway... Let's not think about Dawn anymore and focus on what's important here, which is PokeShipping.

Ok, I have a new topic.

Anyone think that the fact Misty had Togepi is ironic? I mean, think about it. The name of the final form of Togepi is Togekiss, even in Japanese.

Just for the fun of it.

Funny in hindsight. That's it.

Maybe it'd be funnier if Misty toge-kissed Ash.

Togekiss didn't even exist until the DP games, so its not like the writers had any idea of a future evolution for the Pokemon when they were back in Kanto or Johto.

The point is to discuss it...it has nothing to do with hints or whatever. Just people's opinions, that's all.

Quest isn't saying that the connection was planned, or even thought about after Togekiss was released, she's just saying it's ironic.

Anyways, that's an awesome idea for an episode.
Misty comes back, and is reunited with her Togetic, who then evolves into a Togekiss, and her and Ash have their first kiss!

Scott I'm always reading your posts you're not safe ANYWHERE! 4dlulz

Guys the togekiss thing is a bad reason for Misty to return and also for a pokeshippping hint.

However here something I think could happen, Ash's and Dawn's ambipom is with O in Vermilion City so they may stay in kanto to see it, Cerulean isn't too far and I know Misty didn't get a visit in BF but since there this Cerulean Cape place you meet Misty at in HGSS, aka her dating place, maybe just maybe an episode base on this place, I know Bill's lighthouse got an episode in indigo and Date with Delcatty was near a lighthouse so maybe this could be the place Misty somehow ends up alone with Ash and where she kisses him on the cheek,

I'll honestly be happy whereever it happens. I even had a dream last week about seeing misty at Ash's house again, sadly I woke up before anything else happened.

Keep believeing in AAML!

I'll keep believing in it no matter what! Gosh, I just love your idea there. Cerulean Cape is a romantic place for a date. I do wish to see Togetic again and then evolve into Togekiss. Then Misty should Toge-kiss Ash. LOL...

The Togepi evolution chain is rather funny looking back. Especially when taking into consideration how Togepi ended up with Misty and all the hilarity that occurred at that time.

Now, the idea of using the Cerulean Cape for some Misty episodes is quite fitting, especially in light of HGSS and GSC (for those that played those games :-D ). I think a kiss would be a bit too much for the writers to include, but I would love to see Misty kiss Ash's cheek and perhaps that wouldn't be a huge stretch for the writers. Personally, if Ash and Misty were at the cape, I'd like to see something happen where Ash would hug Misty to protect her and afterward, that lead to Misty kissing Ash's cheek as her thanks to him.

That'd be interesting, and then they'll part ways again and have Satoshi/Ash think about it a bit...and then the writers screw up again and have him dismiss it altogether when back on his journey going to whatever region. lol
