Misty leaving was the worst thing that happened in the anime.

I haven't watched this in such a long time. So they replaced Dawn too, I see. Personally out of all the three that I have seen episodes of, I prefer Misty.

I don't like Iris' design though.

" @Savage : .... ADGWEOGNWOGFMAWOEFANOGAWEGFMAOWGWMAGOWRMGAORNGOERGNADKNGS.   The new pokemon for Black and White look suckish anyway. "

Oh you mean the actual pokemon, i was talking about the game play

" Original cast was the best. I always found al the female characters past Misty were crap.  Ash and her had the best chemistry.   I watched every episode with Ash, Brock and Misty and watched the beginning and odd episodes of Johto.  But I've lost touch with them now.  I still watch the films and play the games.  I heard rumours that Ash is getting replaced?  Is this true? "

" I know, they should always have him.  I understand that the new girl represents that Pokémon area and that's why they replace them.  But you can't replace Ash. "

True. Plus having Ash out will most likely alienate any older viewers. "

Actually Misty had great premise she now have to take care of gym that is considered joke now. Cerulean City has lost a lot of respect because of her sisters.   The spin off series had potential but unfortunately they stopped it. I wished to see more development on misty and her sisters. I would see taking care of the gym.

Iris has something interesting to make up for having weak and unruly Pokémon she is strong physically. Due to dragon Pokémon being the most difficult to train she has to take care of a baby Axew. She has fear of ice Pokémon because their dragons weakness.   It was funny that she is mistaken as a Pokémon because of her hair. 

Everything's falling apart!  
 
I just want to go back to the days of Generation I and II. 
 
Everyone apart from Ash, Brock, Mistry and Gary can go to hell, as far as recurring trainer characters are concerned (Tracey, Max, May, Dawn, Iris etc). From Generation III, I actually liked Drew.

Here is a female character that deserves more attention. Casey the electabuzz fan was a first time trainer that never defeated Ash. She fought Ash’s Charzard was she was easily defeated. This is how a first time trainer should be. She shows how ash is far more skilled trainer. She was in generation 2 and has icon rivalry with ash. Ash is a pitcher she is a batter. We see Brock cheering for her we learn that he cheer for the underdog which is usually Ash. We see more character development and revealing in one episode of her and the entire cast than entire season for most season of pokemon.

Just to ask was there ever a female character that was the main protaganist in the comics? I am also including Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Misty was close to having a spin off which I would love to see the challenges a gym leader has to face. I think a new protaganist is needed because it is hard for coming of age character to stay the same age and recall him as a rookie event though he has 37 badges. He even made his own technique counter shield. I think it is time for him to be aside character as soon they make alternate evolution for pikachu. You know they will.

@Ziccarra_Liafador: It's not a sex or gender thing, it's just the same with EVERY character that's not Ash. Anyways the show is too kiddie now and it has been going downhill. Atleast the Games have been getting better and better!!

Also, Im pretty sure it's not just females. Pokemon is probably one of the least sexist games in the world ever. They had the option to play as girl, plenty of girl NPCs, very important ones, gym leaders, rivals, pokemon who are female..... so it's just a thing they do because they think it's gonna help the show....getting rid of the old characters, like Brock, Misty, May, her brother and old rivals like Gary etc....

I know, they should always have him.  I understand that the new girl represents that Pokémon area and that's why they replace them.  But you can't replace Ash.

Speaking of expandable let’s talk about Gary cheerleading squad. They are considered a joke of how big an ego Gary is. With Gary acting more mature, they seemed to vanish and never to be heard from again. They are right next to Ash’s pidgeot and Glyscor, the two pallet town forgotten trainers, and more under gigantic plot hole or should I say plot canyon.

@Supreme Marvel: Gary is a great character and he concluded by later becoming researcher like his grandpa and probably being gym leader on the side. His story is concluded but his cheerleader have need of development with two other trainer fates unknown other than having 5 badges and ash as only trainer in pallet. I guessing they would find and motivate the other two trainers to get them back in the game.

Personally I liked May the most out of all the female characters, but I did start warming up to Dawn with Misty being my least favorite. But as of late I've simply stopped watching the TV show. I use to love the show but I could care less about Ash nowadays and really wish they would bring in some new characters, give the show a fresh start with completely new direction and characters and allow the previous ones (like Ash, Misty, Brock, etc.) to appear every now and then for fans.

Preferences aside, we can all agree that defiantly shown personality and have quirk that we like and we can aknowledged.

The ultimate example of expendable would be first female avatar which goes by the name of Kris. She was going to be in Red and Blue games but was delayed in to be in platinum. She never to be seen again in the remake she was replaced by Lyra and yet again with leaf. At least she gained counterpart or any remembrance with the animated character Marina.

Leaf would have been the character by Pokemon adventures but was replacing by blue/ green. Anyone else just willing to call the female protagonist Leaf it would feel so much easier.

You know I have to say after hearing this form the pokemon writers. They said that were out of ideas on how to use Misty. It started to show in Johto as she was merely background character like weak dragonball character appearing in Dragonball Z. They gave a good reason to exit as giving her the responsibility of taking care of the gym.

However they had good chances of bringing her back with the legendary pokemon kyogre or Team Aqua. Stories involving water and she is not around or even mention felt like a sin. Her possessed by kyogre could have been like the phoenix saga. Whether good or bad it would have gain attention.

one small blast of the past all it takes just look what happened with Charazard. There were rumors that Brock would be a member Team Plasma which made us shook up if it were to be true.
