Misty is the only one left in the running, and her return episode in MPM had the biggest shipping hint ever. They are not going to give a 25-year anime an ending where nothing is resolved between the male and female leads who were both introduced in the first episode. It would be the biggest slap in the face to the fans, and it would kill so much enthusiasm for the Pokémon brand as a whole right when they are trying to pivot to a new storyline.
