Misty (anime): Difference between revisions
→Character: Adding a character trait of Misty's from earlier episodes (namely, being something of a combat pragmatist). Also, I'd argue that Ash's goal was even MORE vague than Misty's (since we don't get any real sense of how Ash is to become a Pokemon Master thanks in part to how Ash still journeyed despite technically winning a league and beating the Frontier Brains. At least the bit with Prima implies she needs to reach Elite 4 level at a bare minimum.).

Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]]. Misty aggressively defends the Water-type against critics as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' and when she first met {{t|Fire}} enthusiast [[Macy]]. She considers all members of the Water-type to be "cute", though her positive opinion on {{p|Tentacool}} in ''[[EP019|Tentacool and Tentacruel]]'' divided Ash and {{an|Brock}}. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, and she even has a {{TP|Misty|special lure}}, which she designed to look like herself. In ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', she sent one to Ash as a gift. Sometime before she left for Kanto at the end of ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Misty gave Lana another one as thanks for inviting her and Brock to visit Alola. | Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters (with the possible exception of Ash), but her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the dream of becoming a Water [[Pokémon Master]].

Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash. She had her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} dive into the water to wash off {{AP|Butterfree}}'s [[Status condition|status]]-inducing [[move]]s. Misty has developed a more rounded battle strategy since becoming the full-time Cerulean Gym Leader, mirroring many of Ash's methods. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', Misty was shown to become increasingly confident and focused on her role as the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. ''[[HS02|Cerulean Blues]]'' saw her overcome her fear and help calm a raging {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} which now serves as one of her main Pokémon, while Misty learned about the Gym Badge-making process and began to appreciate her role in ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. She continues to improve her Pokémon as seen with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}'s mastery of {{m|Water Gun}} and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}'s strong defenses make for a tireless battle. | Misty's battle style was first showcased in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where she challenged Ash.

Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!''). Like her "beauty" title, this was not carried over into the dub until ''Sun & Moon''. | Her catchphrase when sending out a Pokémon is ('''いくわよ！マーイステディ！''' ''Go! My Steady!'').

Early into the series, she was shown to have a more pragmatic view on battling, which is best demonstrated in the third episode where she agreed to Ash fighting against Team Rocket despite the specific battle technically being illegal because it ultimately had the best chances of Ash not losing quickly, and also her disappointment that Ash proceeded to forfeit against Brock instead of taking the lucky advantage against him during his rematch. | |||
