>a bunch of Ash’s Pokémon plus the genwunner staples like Professor Oak, Joy + Jenny, and Team RocketTaken together, the key art is clearly communicating that the show is supposed to be a celebration of Pokémon with a heavy Gen 1 focus. Misty and Brock are Ash’s most special companions and Pikachu even more so. I wouldn’t expect much shipping faggotry there because that’s not what Pokémon and Ash have ever been about, but if there is any, it’s going to be Misty, especially given that she’s literally catching Ash with her lure in the trailer. The focus is on her, regardless of whether it’s fully platonic or not.
