 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.
