Minako and Natsumi's Reasons in Disliking Misty 
 
 

1) Her design.

The lamest it is, the sooner is in view.  We both recognize that it's not the most intelligent reason, so let's end up soon.  Misty was very badly designed in both anime, manga and games.  As if her designers didn't like her too.
Misty herself isn't an ugly person, with her deep red hair and baby blue eyes.  BUT!!!, as she tried to be as different as she could of her sisters who were very pretty and vain (less in  the manga..., and in the game, they don't appear), she chose the wrong way: look bad! The hairstyle she cose (the ponytail at a side of her head) is very difficutl to wear and look good with it (in fact the only one looking good in it was Ryouko from the game "World Heroes", but that's another story).  No wonder Lily and Violet still tell that she's the "ugly little kid" (Daisy doesn't tease her that much)!

Why does she choose to look so bad instead?  Natsumi recalls someone saying "She dresses like a slut"; while we aren't so certain in it, we think that there's a reason behind.
 

2) She's a bigmouth.

She can't seem to shut her trap!! As a proof: she said "who'd want a Jigglypuff who can't sing?"... in FRONT of Jigglypuff himself!! That's pretty cruel in itself!! Poor thing... And whe she's pissed, she generally starts yelling and screaming! She can't try to reason first!!

3) Her attitude towards Ash Ketchum.

As Ash himself would say: "Yeah, I know I'm lame, I know I'm far of being the best Pokemon trainer... BUT DO YOU HAVE TO REMIND ME OF IT EVERY FIVE SECONDS?! ". 80% of her parlaments are directly/indirectly directed to Ash's stupidity.  We're no Ash fans, but even then, we're getting tired of this.  It's like the routine Chibiusa-Usagi rounds in Sailor Moon that ended up sickening everyone.  And worse: Whenever Misty has a new speech agains Ash, SHE ALWAYS GET AWAY WITH IT, AND EVERYONE AGREES THAT ASH IS A FOOL!! We already know Ash is lame, and so does Bugger say in his Anti-Ash page!! So stop reminding us!!
 

4) The whole affair of "Misty loves Ash".

Seems that many Pokemon fanatics can't get tired of this.  We won't go around the fact itself (others do better), but we'll state our position here firmly: WE SEE THAT THERE ARE HINTS, BUT IT DOENS'T MEAN WE AGREE!!
Misty is 13-14 years old, and there she is with a crush on... a 10 year old! Putting aside the stupid pedophile jokes some have thrown in the net, we think that is something that NO  real 13-year-old girl would do.  To prove it, we took a peek in the affairs of Minako-chan's younger sister who's also 13, and all that she and her friends do are dreaming with older boys!  And when we asked them, they all said that they'd never-ever dream with younger boys.  So, the logic works, and we think that this whole Ash/Misty affair is rather repeated and boring. Can't they come with something better?
 

5) She treats people and Psyduck sooooo badly!!!

As stated in nº 2, Misty is a yelling machine.  If something doesn't go the way she likes, or Ash misses a move (again?!), or Brock drools at another girl, she starts screaming like mad and yammering to everyone!   No one's gonna stand out of your way just 'coz you want so, you pretty princess, so next time, count 'til then before you start the show!
The Psyduck factor is another thing.  Remember that she yells at it, insults it, and normally is very cruel to it.  Being dumb is something, but even Psyduck deserves better than be so badly treated!  As it is, the poor duckie is better off by itself, than with his own trainer! Maybe we should call WWF...
