Although Misty does not have the body and mentality of a 10-year-old child, her girl fans may dress like her, and leaving her abdomen exposed is considered provocative in some societies. It was the 90s, today it is different, anime has quite an influence on today's young people and pornography is just a click away. After Misty came more explicit things like Dawn and her miniskirt, which in every shot of her seemed to show her butt, or Sango and her deliberately erotic gestures and looks.
Misty could have worn a longer shirt that covered her abdomen, but Anipoke's staff was full of retards, so they decided to give her Togepi. Pokémon has always been a voracious and even immoral franchise in terms of promotion and marketing.
