So Hikari...

[Kasumi]

...has a female rival.

So much for Hikari being a May clone, huh?


Thanks to Sunain and Pocket Monsters for the screenshot.

Oh yah I saw that on the Serebii forums too. Pretty cool, she's the first character ever to have a female rival. Now that puts PearlShipping a bit better ^_^

 

[Roses Ablaze]

Her rival's prettier than her.

 

[Misty]

I think she's a lesbo. X) And Hikari is better looking anyway.

 

[Swifty]

Oh my God. Remember the days of when there were, like, a high supply of SatoShi doujinshi that most guys didn't really care for?

Ladies, the pendulum has turned the other way. Booyah.

 

[Jnoo]

Her rival is hot, no doubt about it.

 

[Kasumi]

Actually, expect to see tons of Hikari/femalerival doujins/fics and their fans popping out of nowhere, like Swifty said.

 

[Cybersai]

We've had implied gay people on the show before, but never an implied lesbian.

Let's hope her rival hits on Hikari. It's about time we had some lesbians on this show.

Hikari being a lesbian would also differentiate her from May more.

 

[Kasumi]

I don't think they would go that far with Hikari.

 

[Habunake]

Awww....no Blonde Rival...-_-

 

[Kasumi]

Yeah, as usual, all the male main characters/rivals from the games get the shaft. Expect to see Kouki or blondie guy in an obscure cameo in the next movie's world of Pokemon segment.

 

[Jo-Jo]

I doubt Hikari will be a lesbian.

Her rival does have a teeny bit of a 'girl scout' look about her, though... hmm. I think it's the hair.

But never mind the shipping for now, it's great to see a proper real live girl rival for once. About freaking time! I wonder what her name is? Something beginning with Sh?

 

[Kasumi]

To keep the tradition of all the main rivals names begining with those letters? Possibly.

 

[Zeta]

So instead of an effiminate man, her rival is a butch woman. Erm, intersting dicotomy.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

We've had implied gay people on the show before, but never an implied lesbian.

Oh, I donno. Remember Misty's reaction to Prima? And that Detective Jenny flirting with Joy?

 

[Misty]

Misty is so not a lesbian.

 

[Ashfangirl17]

And there are a lot more PearlShippers out there too, so yah. And none of the main characters have ever been lesbian but hey who knows. But the rival should make things intresting, maybe shey'll confuse Ash/Hikari as boy/girlfriend.

 

[Zeta]

Misty wasn't a lesbian. Lorelei's boobs are just so damn gigantic, anybody would have a hard time not staring. They're scary, actually. She was close enough to her I'm sure Misty was just trying to keep her wits about her, because if Lorelei had made a sudden move those missles would've knocked her head off.

 

[Beautiful Day]

I'm pretty sure all the protagonists and the characters they come into contact with are homosexual.

Brock is more in denial than any of them.
