 *Misty is the only character in the Pokémon franchise to have a recurring Pokémon in all the franchise media, the Pokémon being {{p|Starmie}}.
 *Misty was the first main character to leave her Pokémon at home not via PC.  In ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', she left her Horsea and Starmie at the Cerulean Gym.  Ever since, Ash has left his Pokémon at Oak's after travelling through Johto and Hoenn, as have [[Brock]] and {{an|May}} on their stops home.
-*Recently, former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], Masamitsu Hidaka, stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make cameo appearances from time to time like she has in the past. His words caused some controversy among fans. However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by other staff members.

-**In the same interview, Hidaka admitted that the reason that Misty was replaced is similar in scope as to why [[Brock]] was replaced. However, rather than being because of a fear of cries of racism, Hidaka implied that they switched the girls around to give older male fans eye candy, as well as to use Ken Sugimori's designs for the newer game characters, rather than only [[Generation I]] characters. His perceived sexist statement has been debated by fans since this revelation.
