I keep seeing some dumbshippers claim Ash loved Misty because of blushing and jealousy, and they call that love. Even if we pretend those moments were love (which they weren’t). But if you look closely, almost all of these so called moments come from the Orange Islands(season 2). The evidence Pokeshippers always bring up, Ash blushing when Team Rocket teases him, Ash acting jealous, and so on, are nearly all from those season. If Ash really loved Misty, then why did those moments completely disappear after the Orange Islands? Johto had over 100 episodes, and yet Ash never blushed for Misty again, never acted jealous again,That alone proves it wasn’t love. Actually the Orange Islands were basically a filler like arc, created while the next generation of games was still being developed. So it’s obvious the writers threw in some lighthearted gags for entertainment, and once the saga ended, they dropped it completely. If Pokeshipping were truly beautifully developed, then those moments wouldn’t have disappeared overnight. But they did. The fact that there were no such like moments from Ash’s side in Johto or beyond even though they had like 100+ episodes which makes it clear, the writers threw Pokeshipping in trash. This is why their fandom today has nothing left but to force random parallels between other characters and pretend they mean something. Ash never loved Misty. The hints were temporary filler gags, nothing more. That’s why writers never revisited them, while real ships like Amourshipping got consistent, intentional buildup and even a canon kiss and at the end it was left open ended.
XY ENTHUSIAST
