He answered many questions, including confirming that {{p|Celebi}} was planned to be in the [[GS Ball]] before it was decided to be put into the [[Celebi: Voice of the Forest|fourth movie]], and that [[Brock]] left the show briefly during [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|the Orange Islands arc]] due to fears that Americans, who would soon after the planning of {{Tracey}}'s [[EP084|debut episode]] be getting the [[EP001|first episode]], would find him a racist stereotype. When asked if [[Misty]] would return to the main cast, his response was a flat-out no. | ||
He also made another comment in another [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo interview] that caused a degree of controversy among Pokémon fans. In the second interview he stated that part of the reason for the changing of Ash's female companion from Misty to {{an|May}}, and then to {{an|Dawn}} is that "boys need a new piece of eye candy to look at every once in a while". Many viewed this as a sexist comment. However, in his defense, it should be noted that Hidaka's comments went through the translator, and then the fan who posted the interview, so some of the original meaning may have been lost. Japanese culture is very different than American culture, so the comment may have been received in a way Hidaka didn't mean for it to be. | He also made another comment in another [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo interview] that caused a degree of controversy among Pokémon fans.
