>>53589198>There's some mild "interpretative hinting" in the original like there is for every other girl as well, but that's really allStop being a historical revisionist, we can see just from the animation in the OI and Movie 2 alone that Misty was the only girl to have unambiguous romantic inclinations towards Ash prior to Serena.
Misty and Serena are the only two girls who canonically have a romantic interest in Ash, the rest of the girls are just pure headcanon cope.
Stop trying to deny reality just because Misty’s presence is so goddamn threatening. You don’t see Pokefags going around denying Serena’s crush on Ash just because they feel threatened by her, so why is this only a thing for you Amourkeks?
