Misty (Pokémon)

Misty is a Pokémon Gym Leader from Pokémon Red and Blue. While this was her first appearance, her big splash in Pokémon fandom was by being one of Ash Ketchum's two companions in the Pokémon Anime, the other being Brock. Because of her major role in that series, this article will be only discussing PokéAni!Misty and not her appearances in the games or manga.
Although she is less popular than Ash Ketchum, Misty is a favorite to many and is the focus of many fanworks. Many fans still hope for her permanent return on the show. She is an icon of popular culture. The Pokémon she is most associated with are Horsea, Psyduck and Staryu.

==Relationships==
PokéShipping, the Ash x Misty pairing, was and remains a very popular ship. Many of its supporters, known as "PokéShippers," have been displeased that new female characters have continued to be introduced to fill Misty's role and create new ships with Ash. EgoShipping, the Misty x Gary pairing, and OrangeShipping, the Misty x Tracey pairing, also became popular during the first series.
