With Dawn coming back and the possibility of old Gym Leaders showing up, what do you think the chances are of Misty making her return?

Now, I think all the old Gym Leaders showing up in the anime is stretch. As we all know, the Anime and the Games are very different from each other. But do you think the producers would shoe horn in another appearance by the Original Female Companion if they thought they could get away with it (even if they didn't in the end?)

I modified the title a bit just to make it a little clearer what the topic was.
 
IF she did appear, and that a big if...I'd like to see her donning her HGSS appearance for one. They've shown May in her Emerald Outfit, and Dawn in her Platinum. So I think it's time it made an appearance in the anime.

Other than that though, I don't see what she could really contribute in her appearance. I could see her getting along with Cilan, and ganging up on Ash with Iris. I suppose she could also show off a new Pokemon or two, but eh.
 
I don't think it's likely. They would have to bring back Brock, Gary, Volkner, etc. too and it doesn't seem feasible.

I'd like that too...but I'm afraid the fanboys would rage at seeing her with a different look. The fact that no one is allowed to age any is a big issue too.

Oh Masu! Don't you know that contributing anything isn't nearly as important as pleasing fans who want to see a character? :XD:
 
Omg if she did that would be so cool after all the neglect in DP. Misty & Dawn appearing at separate times would make me so happy!! *.*
 
It seems in the games all 40 old Gym leaders are returning, so its not just signaling out Misty/Brock, Gary, etc. like that first scan made it seem.

As I said, it doesn't seem likely because Brock and Gary aren't Gym leaders or even battlers anymore, and they wouldn't choose Misty without the others. Likewise the anime already seems to be doing their own unique spin on the battle tournament with Cynthia involved, not sure if it will even include any old Gym leaders at all.
 
She's already come back once, why not give Max a return instead?
 
Well its hard to say, as my expectations of the writers will likely be determined by what comes out of BW2 once it begins. But if I can expect them to finally get it and listen to the people that have been asking for Misty for years, then yeah I'd expect she'd get to return. Though I think there is plenty more to be done with Misty than a simple cameo, and many Misty fans agree.

You should feel lucky if she does appear, her character hasn't reappeared since her cameo in 2005 which is now 6 years ago. The writers don't have to *listen* to anyone, the Pokemon fanbase is made up of millions.

Remember, Misty was in the FR/LG and HGSS games too and that didn't really correlate to an appearance for her in the anime at the time. (I know Misty appeared at the end of the Hoenn league, but that had nothing to do with FR/LG).

I don't see why they wouldn't choose Misty without Brock and Gary there as well. She is the only Gym Leader among them in the anime, so if this tournament does include Gym Leaders from various regions, then she would be the only one that could participate. Though, I do agree that the tournament in the anime already looks and sounds different from how it looks like in the game, so I have my doubts that Gym Leaders are going to be even included as well. I think it's more likely that it will be a collection of various trainers from different regions battling for some prize.

I always thought that Misty appearing after Ash came back from Hoenn and then tagged along for one episode when he was starting his Battle Frontier journey was because of FR/LG. The Battle Frontier arc was meant to promote both the first generation remakes along with Emerald, so including another first generation character for a few episodes would be a result of those games. I honestly don't see why they would correlate an appearance for Misty due to being in HG/SS. While she was in the games and had a new design, she would still be considered a first generation character and they wanted to keep the focus on second generation characters and Pokemon at the time of promoting those games. It honestly wouldn't really make much sense to me if they did try to bring her back due to HG/SS.

Anyway, if the tournament does include Gym Leaders like it does in the games, then maybe Misty has a slight chance of making an appearance. Though, I honestly couldn't care less if she does or does not appear. I've never been a fan of Misty. I'm more painfully indifferent towards her than anything else. Even back when I first watched the series, I didn't care that much for her, so I'm not really eager to see her again. I wouldn't be against it if she does appear again, but I'm not going to cheer if it does happen or demand that it happens if it doesn't.
 
Another thing to bring up, don't you think Misty and Brock (and Gary), would be shown on that BW2 poster somewhere in the background if they were making an appearance?

Surely Dawn's only getting a cameo, but she was placed on the poster. And before anyone says "they don't want to give away too much," well that doesn't make too much sense either given how much info they already gave away, and the news from the games that they'll be in it.

They're hyping up Dawn's return, as well as Giovanni, yet there's no showcasing of any other old character. Makes me think they won't appear.

I know I know, but the cameo would update us. She has fans who want to see her.
