Misty had a large crush on Ash in the Kanto/Orange era, which also lingered into Johto. But as you said, that's so far in the past now.

Where are the signs of her crushing on him in AG or D/P? I haven't seen anything but a good friendship between the two in their AG meetings.
 
Misty crushed on him in AG in A Date With Delcatty.
 
I tempted too say it was a Dub-Add in, but could you provide the line to double check?

I like it when Ash is oblivious so Misty can wait. :-)
 
Ah, okay. Sorry, but anything regarding Chronicles usually needs a double check.

EDIT: I miss Psyduck....
 
Notice how that scene is in the same Hoso era where Misty was accused of liking Tracey for three episodes in a row.
 
Notice how that scene is in the same episode where Misty is accused of liking Tracey right in front of Tracey and has a considerably milder reaction.
 
Her blush in the pic above ain't really that big either. When Casey asks her in the pics on the top, its the same size blush as her one when asked about Tracey.

It only got bigger because Psyduck embarrassed her more after.

Honestly, look at the top pics and the blush is rather small.
 
I'd like too mention, if I was Misty, Tracey would be more appealing then Ash. XD

EDIT: I'd love for them too have a time when Ash has a momentary "horny" moment and falls in love for a whole episode. Maybe with Nozomi, but then find out she only likes women. XD

That first blush is certainly much bigger in magnitude than the one produced by Casey's asking Misty if Tracey was her boyfriend. Without a doubt, it's a fact that Misty was embarassed in the later scene and wasn't embarassed in the previous scene.

So it doesn't matter that she blushed harder after Psyduck came out; That doesn't invalidate the fact that Misty actually got embarassed when Casey asked Misty if she simply likes whoever as opposed to actually specifying if she likes Tracey.
 
She blushed and pushed Casey away from her with a gentle shove. Why do girls do this?

You tell me.
 
A look of irritation on her face. Her face doesn't look embarassed at all, unless you're only taking in account of her face being red.

Compare that with this scene where Misty actually looks humbled and has a rather panicked look on her face.

Misty is embarassed in one of these scenes. Pick one.
 
I've always thought that Misty loved Ash, but I'm not sure if Ash loves Misty at the moment...

Actually, I think Misty unintentionally (or maybe intentionally) blurted something out about marriage at some point during the anime series, I think it was the episode with Teddiursa ("Unbearable"?) . Anyway I'm not 100% sure - I may have miseheard, it may have been another episode or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about altogether! XD But I thought I heard it somewhere...
 
That line was in, "The Heartbreak of Brock" from Johto. Its dub added however, so pay no mind to it.

Misty says, "You and I will be married someday" and Ash gets shocked in the dub, whereas in the original she says something totally different.

I really think 4kids contributed to the elitism of the rabid Pokeshippers back during that era, which is why they threw whiny and pissy fits when the writers took her off the show and dumped her at Cerulean Gym. 4kids also took the flashback in GCYL and replaced scenes of Misty and her triumphs with a bunch of out-of-place and mushy Pokeshipping scenes. Ugh, the original flashback was about Misty leaving her friends, not about Misty/Ash fandom.

Good thing 4kids didn't add any Pokeshippy moments in AG, because there weren't any, considering Misty seems to have gotten over her crush and accepts the fact that Ash will just be her good friend and she might as well move on. I see it as an excellent and defining character moment for Misty and I'm glad the writers have handled it well. I must praise them for that.

Although I do find it amusing that PUSA has added some Contestshipping and Advanceshipping hints. :p

It makes you think that the American translators are desperate for romance on the show and want more than what the Japanese writers do.

You're going to have to explain why the PokeShipping hint in A Date With Delcatty isn't a PokeShipping hint.

We've debated about that before, Casey is edging her on and she's in front of that filler boy, isn't she? She has a crush on a boy, but it's not confirmed to be anyone. There was not a single mention or nod towards Ash in that entire episode.

Psyduck laughing means Psyduck knows this person good and well. While Psyduck hasn't seen Ash in ages, (was Psyduck even aware of Pokeshipping back in Kanto/Orange/Johto? I honestly don't remember it being in any Pokeshippy scenes), Tracey is around the Gym often. Hm.

Misty consistently shown that she liked one guy throughout her tenure on the show. If there's a indirect reference to someone she likes, then it's logical to conclude that the reference was that one guy she liked. The burden of proof is on you to prove that it wasn't Ash.
 
Anyone find it amusing that on the poll, May is only two votes less than Misty?

Where are all these Advanceshippers on BMG? I used to be like the only one defending the ship, obviously it was pretty popular but Contestshipping always overshadowed it, and the others Advanceshippers never really posted.

Contestshipping is currently the most popular ship in the fandom according to Swifty's various census polls and other threads on various forums, (for obvious reasons), but it seems the lack of Misty in the last 4 years, and obviously the next 4 as well, really did a number on the interest of the ship.

I'm actually curious if interest in the ship will continue to fade over the course of D/P. Technically I don't blame people, the lack of one entire half of the ship since Johto really makes looking forward to Pokeshipping in the new seasons pretty impossible.
 
The ship should be renamed the S.S. Anne.

It sunk, and ain't coming back.
