How big of a May fan art you?

[PKMN_Trainer_Shane]

I've heard this question thrown around alot (not just with May), so, how big a fan are you? not in just pics and perverted fantasies, but if she was real (or anyone else u have a rush on) what yould you do? befriend her, lead her to a dark alley (and get killed later ^^ lol) so, yeah. thats the topic.

 

[Cybersai]

If she was real?

I'd swoon her over in a heartbeat. What guy doesn't want a sweet, innocent and energetic brunette girl that wears tight clothing and has a fetish for stripping into swimsuits?

Of course I'd love to find someone in real life who acts just like her, and I have seen a couple of girls with the same type of personality as her, so its not like this type of girl is a rarity or anything.

 

[PKMN_Trainer_Shane]

true can't help but agree there. we'd have to beat everyone off with a stick!

Wrong forum: this belongs to Pokemon Anime. Please read the forum descriptions before posting.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Well, it *does* say on the World forum that we should post about characters there...

 

[Kasumi]

Yes, but NOT polls on how much you like them or not. Pokemon World is for more intelligent discussion, no offense.

Oh yeah, 10-year-olds are so sexy.

LOL! May is so fake its annoying. I wish they'de bring back Misty, Masato isnt too bad.

The writers favor May too much. Brock should have beat May in the Pokemon Contest battle. I agree that there are many girls like May in real life, but not at 10 years old. May looks like a 18 year old. I think many of us would be able to relate to her better IF she wasn't 10 years old.

 

[Habunake]

Max is way cooler then her sister.

May has Munchlax going for her though!

 

[Cybersai]

Damn straight!

The writers favor May too much.

They favor her because that's why she was introduced. To have a second story arc going during the Pokemon anime to go along with Ash's.

Brock should have beat May in the Pokemon Contest battle.

Maybe, but I don't see why the anti-May fans always have to bring in their "precious" Misty/Brock into these threads. It's obvious which characters the writers enjoy writing for, and which they don't give a damn about anymore.

Although in general it's reasonable why you guys get frustrated, as your favorite characters are only pushed more into the background and phased into obscurity as the time goes on. With the way Brock has been treated in AG, I wouldn't at all be surprised if he were the next character to get the boot.

May looks like a 18 year old.

Not at all, at most she could pass for 15. If she were 18, she'd be much taller and look like the Hinata/Lucy/Flannery range. May isn't as tall as they are.

 

[Lil Brother]

You people sadden me. T.T

"Let's dedicate way more topics than needed to May, to see who jacks off over her and who puts her face onto a wall and throws darts at it! Then let's argue over the same topics over and over again, the most pressing being her boobs! And we have to bring in Misty, a completely unrelated character aside from their shared trait of ovaries!"

I like her, just as much as every Pokemon anime character. A few of her wins are incredibly cheap, especially in the BF saga, but would you really have her lose over and over again, taking up many more episodes than we get now? No major flaws in her, a decent character, but nothing to have orgasims and waste time having hissy fits with people I'll never meet.

 

[GreatLiver]

Sorry, but I'm not big on getting with a ten year old

 

[Sui Kune]

Maybe, but I don't see why the anti-May fans always have to bring in their "precious" Misty/Brock into these threads. It's obvious which characters the writers enjoy writing for, and which they don't give a damn about anymore.

And how would you come to that conclusion? Misty still makes a few cameos, and has a few specials of her own in Chronicles. Brock is still a pretty huge asset to the group (a great example of this is the Taillow ep, where he makes his first appearance in Houenn. It showed how much Ash really depended on, and missed, Brock.), and while yes he has been a little neglected, he also still makes great comebacks, such as in the recent Pewter Gym ep. If the writers didn't give a damn about them, they would've written them both out altogether, never to return.

Although in general it's reasonable why you guys get frustrated, as your favorite characters are only pushed more into the background and phased into obscurity as the time goes on. With the way Brock has been treated in AG, I wouldn't at all be surprised if he were the next character to get the boot.

And I wouldn't be surprised if May and Max get booted, either. I base this on the Orange Islands, when Brock was temporarily replaced by Tracey. Tracey of course eventually left the group once the group left the Orange Islands. I wouldn't be surprised if May and Max left as well, with Misty coming back, or perhaps a whole new character for Diamond/Pearl.

I'm not being anti-May here, by the way, and I really resent you automatically assuming that of anyone who defends Brock or Misty. For you to assume that the problem with them would go away by them simply just being written out altogether is a very close-minded, biased one. For one, how would you feel if May was written out? (Which is a very real possibility, believe it or not. It can happen to any character.)

 

[Kasumi]

Oh yeah, 10-year-olds are so sexy.

This seriously made me laugh my ass off.

Damn straight!

Pedophile.

 

[1234567]

May? I hate her.

And before I get people jumping down my throat, no, it's not because she's stealing previous Ash from Misty or some misc character. Honestly, I hated her guts from day one, the minute I even heard her name..actually, that's why I hated her for a long time.

Now that I'm watching the show again, I've found a tolerance for her, but overall, I still don't like her. For one thing, she's too much like a female Ash. Honestly, if they can't give her traits that don't match his so much, then they should be quitting while they are ahead. Really now, the first episode I saw with her had her making the same damn mistake Ash did in..what, the first episode of the Indigo League arc? From the looks of things, she's winning when she should be losing (come on. Beating Brock? He's a gym leader for god's sake. Even Ash lost to him the first time.)

While I'm inclined to think she's sticking around, she most likely won't stay as long as Misty did, or as long as Brock is. We thought Misty would stay with Ash through the whole run of Pokemon, didn't we? And that didn't turn out that way, so most lilely May will eventually leave Ash to go on her own eventually...or she'll stick with him. Who knows except the writers? I'm having to agree with Sui Cune about the whole character leaving thing overall.

And you've never, ever mentioned May's name in other discussions before, right?

And every time you mention that Brock should be ditched - I believe this is incident number 1,871,124,325 - it's totally relevant to the topic and not something you bring up out of nowhere. Speaking of which, I must be reading too fast, because I totally missed what led to your mentioning it this time...

In short - hello Pot, my name is Kettle.

But since you brought Brock into this - since the only other mention of him before you started talking about him was a simple comment saying May should have lost a battle against him, and then you go on about how May is totally the best right now and how you really really want so badly think it's likely Brock will be ditched - back to the same old song and dance, I suppose.

Brock's been getting some of his best moments ever in Battle Frontier. I think we can all safely say the writers have started to recall what a good character Brock is and what fun can be had with him. And yet, at the same time, they're not overdoing it - he's getting moments in the spotlight, but there's still plenty more that can be done with him. I can't read their minds, but I think I'm getting the impression they're starting to remember Brock more often and thus get him more involved in plots. Characters like Brock, Misty, and Tracey are most often ditched when they're doing their least - and Brock is far from doing his least right now.

May, on the other hand, has also been getting a lot of attention - an abnormally high amount, even for her, the second fiddle superstar. I've been trying not to make any assumptions, but this really feels like a last hurrah, don't you think? If they keep May after this, there'll be nowhere for her to move but into the background. And if they want a good note to have her leave off on, this is it - otherwise, it will feel like they've been building up all this May-ness for nothing.

But again, I'm doing everything I can to place no bets on who's staying or going. There's only a handful of characters chained to the series, and May's not among them. I could see her getting kicked off as easily as you can see Brock getting kicked off - and as far as we know, either could go or say. In fact, both could end up leaving or staying.

Although I don't know why I bother saying this, since I know it won't belong before you insist again that May must stay and Brock must go and there's no way the writers will think otherwise.

And by the way: pedo.

 

[Lil Brother]

So when Argy makes a pedophile joke, it's funny. When CC makes a pedophile joke, it's perverted. Wheee, forum logic!

 

[Cybersai]

And I wouldn't be surprised if May and Max get booted, either. I base this on the Orange Islands, when Brock was temporarily replaced by Tracey. Tracey of course eventually left the group once the group left the Orange Islands. I wouldn't be surprised if May and Max left as well, with Misty coming back, or perhaps a whole new character for Diamond/Pearl.

Which is quite frankly the stupidest thing anyone could do. Brock being replaced by Tracey was done...for whatever reason. It was for a short 36 episode filler saga, nothing more.

With AG, the writers totally revamped the series and started at episode 1 again. May was then given a starring role for a nearly 200 episode series. She's also been given a bigger role than anyone on the series aside from Ash. Her fanbase is absolutely huge, there are countless Japanese websites dedicated to not only her, but her rivals Drew and Halrey.

To compare this to Brock/Tracey is simply mind boggling. You do realize you're comparing a 36 episode filler-saga to a nearly 200 episode series? You do realize you're comparing a starring character from the R/S games, with her own storyline, to Tracey, a guy that didn't get anything? The two things share absolutely nothing in common, because the show was re-booted without Misty, and her "replacement" has become one of the most important characters in the series.

Misty was removed from the series because you need to do one of two things to stay on it:

1. Advertise something
2. Contribue to the plot in some way

Misty doesn't advertise *anything* as far as I know, nor did she contribute to the plot in a way that Ash's other supporting sidekicks didn't. I imagine Brock was kept because as small as it is, cooking and pointing out battle strategies still affects the plot. Misty wasn't needed, so she was axed.

It really is something when we're 4+ years into a show, and people still can't figure out for themselves why Misty was dropped and the show was revamped without her. How can you continue to justify this with a straight face?

and I really resent you automatically assuming that of anyone who defends Brock or Misty. For you to assume that the problem with them would go away by them simply just being written out altogether is a very close-minded, biased one. For one, how would you feel if May was written out? (Which is a very real possibility, believe it or not. It can happen to any character.)

I have no idea where you got anything like that from, since I was replying to what Sunain said. This was a topic simply about May, and she found the need to bring Misty/Brock into it. Seriously, what in the world do they have to do with this topic? Absolutely nothing.

While I'm inclined to think she's sticking around, she most likely won't stay as long as Misty did, or as long as Brock is. We thought Misty would stay with Ash through the whole run of Pokemon, didn't we? And that didn't turn out that way, so most lilely May will eventually leave Ash to go on her own eventually...or she'll stick with him. Who knows except the writers? I'm having to agree with Sui Cune about the whole character leaving thing overall.

She probably will surpass Misty in episode count, as all she needs is the D/P region. She'll probably won't be in as many episodes as Brock, especially if he's still here next region, but it doesn't really matter.

I just love the way people try to justify a character who has been given the "Ash-treatment" and has been constantly the focus of the series for 4 1/2 years and almost 200 episodes. I am not making this up out of thin air, the series itself is the proof.

The "Orange Islands" argument is just a desperate attempt by people who have no idea what they're talking about. All in all, I'll enjoy seeing what the arguments are when May continues to star in the D/P region, and Misty is still rotting away at the Gym.

 

[Cybersai]

But since you brought Brock into this - since the only other mention of him before you started talking about him was a simple comment saying May should have lost a battle against him, and then you go on about how May is totally the best right now and how you really really want so badly think it's likely Brock will be ditched - back to the same old song and dance, I suppose.

To be honest, I really don't care either way whether he's in the D/P region or not. He just doesn't interest me anymore, so it makes no difference to me what they do with him.

Brock's been getting some of his best moments ever in Battle Frontier. I think we can all safely say the writers have started to recall what a good character Brock is and what fun can be had with him. And yet, at the same time, they're not overdoing it - he's getting moments in the spotlight, but there's still plenty more that can be done with him. I can't read their minds, but I think I'm getting the impression they're starting to remember Brock more often and thus get him more involved in plots. Characters like Brock, Misty, and Tracey are most often ditched when they're doing their least - and Brock is far from doing his least right now.

Brock's gotten three major spotlight episodes this saga:

Bonsly capture ep.
Contest ep.
Pewter Gym ep.

And I suppose the Lucy thing too. Other than that, he hasn't been doing much. In general though, I am pleased that he isn't being as ignored as he was in Hoenn.

May, on the other hand, has also been getting a lot of attention - an abnormally high amount, even for her, the second fiddle superstar.

It just seems that way because of how fast the BF is moving. Contest episodes are only 4-5 episodes apart, but then again, so are the Brain episodes. Otherwise, her "spotlight" is pretty much the same as it was in Hoenn. The pacing of this saga just makes things go quicker and more compact.

I've been trying not to make any assumptions, but this really feels like a last hurrah, don't you think?

Not really, because for a "last hurrah" they'd have to be wrapping up all plotlines abouther. She would have to beat Drew and win the Grand Festival for it to be a "last hurrah."

Neither of those look like they're happening this region. The third Grand Festival title almost confirms that she loses to Drew again, and thus, we know the writers have no desire to wrap her up this saga.

If they keep May after this, there'll be nowhere for her to move but into the background.

I honestly don't see a difference. She'll get the same amount of spotlight in the D/P saga as she got in BF and Hoenn.

I'm just curious as to where you think this "abnormal" May spotlight is coming from. You do notice she does next to nothing in the episodes that don't involve her? Take the last three for instance, (Pyramid, Pewter Gym, Team Rocket ep)...and May did next to nothing in all three of those episodes. She just stood there, she didn't even battle in any of them. Throughout this saga, it's the same as that, with her just standing there in non-Contest and non-spotlight episodes.

And if they want a good note to have her leave off on, this is it - otherwise, it will feel like they've been building up all this May-ness for nothing.

Or perhaps, this "abnormal" May spotlight is all in your head. If you're talking about the other stuff like the May ending or the cover of the Spurt CD, I assume that's to establish her as an "Ash-like" lead character, to convince the few people in doubt on what her role is in this series. With you, its apparently not working.

I'm curious, when the D/P cast is revealed and May is still there, how will you continue to justify your arguments? She'll then have starred in three major regions, and have focus for nearly 300 episodes. Can you honestly justify this with a straight face?

Although I don't know why I bother saying this, since I know it won't belong before you insist again that May must stay and Brock must go and there's no way the writers will think otherwise.

You're putting words in my mouth, again. I have no burning desire to see Brock leave the cast, I am completely indifferent to what they do with him. I DO see him as the most likely suspect to leave, mainly because Ash and May are the plot, Team Rocket are required for the villains, Max will probably stay because of the link to his sister...and that leaves Brock as the oddball out.

He isn't a major part of the plot like Ash/May, or a villain like TR, and he doesn't have a big connection to Ash/May like Max does with his sister.

If he stays, then he stays. It makes no difference to me. However, you cannot deny that as the series goes on, his role on the show continually gets reduced...Ash doesn't even look to the guy for battle strategies anymore. He's been reduced to a cook who explains Ash's Gym/Brain matches to May/Max, and gets a few comedy/spotlight episodes here and there. Other than that, the writers have shown that Brock is *not* their focus, especially in AG.

Oh yes, me having a different opinion automatically makes me not know what I'm talking about. =/

Alright, you know how I see May? Since Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald had the contests, of course they needed someone to cover that side of the games in the anime. That's it.

I am getting very tired of your very flawed logic. It's one thing to be a fan of someone, but quite another to view them in such a way that's not only quite sickening (she's bloody TEN), but also that you seem to so much rather do away with everyone else and leave May as the sole star. Your solution to characters being shoved into the background? Do away with them! Which is exactly how I see May'll go. She's completed all her contests, hasn't she? Tell me, what else is there for her to do? She isn't exactly interested in battling for badges. She isn't a mentor and can't cook or clean.

Chances are, whether you like it or not, May will be on her last legs. Once this happens, she'll be shoved into the background, and according to your logic, will then need to be done away with.
