So they should make her unlikeable character with no personality specially instead?If she didnt had much of a purpose,than why writers even bothered giving her goal,having her compete in Whirl Cup or for that matter inclkuding her in show in first place?Why he made her likeable character,giving her personality and ambitions.
He never said that there wasn't romance in this show. He just didn't want anything serious between Kasumi and Satoshi, as they're main characters. If Satoshi fell in love, Pokemon would be no longer Pokemon as that would affect its course and goal.As for his statement how there wasnt romance in this show.I may not be a shipper but i cant deny how Misty/Kasumi showed romantic affection toward Ash in Kanto and OI.Hell even in Johto there were some moments which implied this pretty obviously like when she was jealous at Macy when she was around Ash at Johto league.
Kasumi was meant to appeal to girls, that's why she was romantic and that could also explain her "childish crush" (as Shudo called it) towards Satoshi.
Because he couldn't think of any other excuse for Kasumi's existence in the show, he made her living somewhat dependable of Satoshi. If he didn't exist in the show, she wouldn't exist either. It was her self-existence that was weak, and he didn't want a weak character, but a character that would be interesting by herself, not because of being by side of other character and her interactions with him. Kasumi's existence was all about "I'm here, because Satoshi's here". I'm sorry if I can't explain his point of view better.
He's aware of it, and feels sorry. He never thought that Pokeshipping would become this popular.If he didnt wanted romance in this show,its his fault that he included some things which leaded toward fanbase missundertanding his intensions.
There was no official head writer for AG. Tomioka was kind of unofficial one, but I don't really know what it means, besides him writing the most important episodes.New head writer is obviously better as Pokemon Advance and DP showed with improvements they made..
He was no longer a series constructor in mid Jouto, so I think it explains a lot.Thing is that Shudo had opportunity to give Misty more of a role doing more with her.He gave her plots like Togepi,goal of becoming water pokemon master etc,its just he almost never did somewthing with them making notable progression with character.Fact that her goal didnt even started to be expanded until middle of johto(Whirl cup)says alot.
