 ::So are you trying to tell me that what ever happened after the original series doesn't matter? That it doesn't matter that Ash continued to be in more episodes after Misty's departure. Get a clue. Ash is the center of the anime followed by Dawn and May then the other characters, which includeds Misty. Of course Team Rocket is up their with May and Dawn as the opposing side to the heroes. You need to except that. Just because Misty has a lot of fans doesn't make her more important in the series than Ash is. You are being way too baised in your decisions. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 03:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
+:::''Yes, he is. Misty and the others are main characters but the anime basically revolves around Ash. ESPECIALLY in the original series in which you keep insisting Misty is the center of the series. What did Misty do? Was it Misty who competed in the Gym Battles? Was it Misty who competed in the Pokémon League? Was it Misty who was deciding where they were heading next? She was basically a character like Brock, Tracey, and Max are. One of Ash's friends who follows him and really doesn't do anything that greatly impacts the direction of the series. This does not mean that they are not important but they are basically behind Ash and are not his equal in anyway. The beginning of the Japanese openings never said "Satoshi, Kasumi, and Takeshi". They always said "Satoshi". It wasn't until the Diamond and Pearl that it was changed to "Satoshi and Hikari". It was the Advanced Generation were they decided to share the main point of the series with another character, May. ''
+Actually, she did greatly impact the series, as if it wasn't for her, Ash would have DIED. Since you guys are saying that he IS the Anime, then, if it wasn't for her, the anime would have ended right then and there. Besides, the only time relating to battles where the focus was undeniably on Ash was in the Leagues (The Gyms are debatable, as the Gym episodes seemed to focus more on the characters appearing than on Ash himself, or in the case of the Rudy Gym Episode, focused almost exclusively on Misty.). Besides, the point of the poll was how much screentime she really got compared to the Girls, and to be honest, I wasn't even anticipating the results to be as high as it was.
+:::''You seem to be misunderstanding what I meant. I didn't mean every single episode is Ash focused. I'm saying that the anime in general is Ash focused.''
+:::You said he was the "Absolute" main character, which, according to Webster, means everything. which, taking that definition into account, would imply that Absolutely every millisecond of every episode would be focused on Ash, which it really wasn't.
+:::''To Bulbapedia's standards, an episode in which a main character catches a Pokémon, evolves a Pokémon, or releases a Pokémon is an automatic focus on a particular character. Regardless of what you think.''
+:::Regardless if the episode focused 90% more on a Main Character other than Ash and Ash himself got only 10% when the capture/evolution/release episode was made (Like in the Charmander episode, even though Ash caught Charmander, it was more focused on Brock, as he was the one who reacted first to Damian's neglect, he's the one who cared for Charmander the most, he was the one who got extremely worried about Charmander when it left upon recovery to try and reunite with Damian. All Ash did throughout the episode was capture it [and, according to Brock, checked it's tail.].). That's crazy! I mean, Misty caught Psyduck, and I'll be the first to admit that the episode of it's capture barely even focused on her. If it even focused on anyone, it was Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy, which was a major reason as to why I didn't even include it.
+:::''Yes, you are indeed Misty obsessed if you believe that she was more important of a character than Ash is. Even I don't say that about Tracey. If Misty was indeed the most important character of the series than why isn't she in it anymore? Why did the producers decide to keep Brock and not her?
+:::Actually, I wasn't even thinking Misty was more important than Ash when I did this test. I just was doing it to measure the amount of character centric episodes Misty got in comparison to Ash (As well as the females in comparison to Ash as a whole.). heck, to be honest, I didn't even anticipate that Misty would get more episodes than Ash (The least I could predict was probably Misty: 45% Ash: 65%, if not 50/50.). The only reason why I had gotten the results to be 40:46 for Ash and Misty was because I didn't realize that someone had already listed the Johto Conference episodes as being Ash centric. Besides, if I was truly that which you described me as, I would have posted every single episodes that Misty ever appeared in as being a "Misty Centric" episode just because she appeared (Which I didn't and I actually gave reasons for why the episodes were focused on Misty or Ash.).
+:::''So are you trying to tell me that what ever happened after the original series doesn't matter? That it doesn't matter that Ash continued to be in more episodes after Misty's departure. Get a clue. Ash is the center of the anime followed by Dawn and May then the other characters, which includeds Misty. Of course Team Rocket is up their with May and Dawn as the opposing side to the heroes. You need to except that. Just because Misty has a lot of fans doesn't make her more important in the series than Ash is. You are being way too baised in your decisions.''
+:::No I wasn't. And anyways, if Ash was truly the center of the show as you claim, please explain to me why the writers actually considered replacing Ash twice. You know exactly what I mean, the special Raikou: The Legend of Thunder was released midway through Johto, where Ash wasn't even in that special, period, much less the Main Character, and some fans even stated that the special was a prototype for a series that wouldn't have involved Ash at all. Later, they revealed a Poster advertizing for a DP anime that had Dawn, Dawn, and Dawn alone on it, absolutely no sign of Ash on it, period. Some of the fanbase thought they were actually replacing Ash for the series because of that (and Dogasu even admitted that the reasoning behind the belief was legitimate). Now granted, they decided to keep Ash on, but the mere fact that they even thought of that special and making that Poster in that way implies that the writers felt that even Ash was expendable, which implies that, even back in the original series, Ash wasn't the star of the show (The writers wouldn't even THINK of doing the Raikou special if they felt that Ash was truly the star of the show.). So who's being more biased now? [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 14:28, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
