>>19091202You know, I see where you're coming from, but it's not like the next Gen region wouldn't have anything for her to be good at and go at it like Ash does trying to be a master. I mean Hell, Misty wanted to be a Water-type master, but she never really did anything during the show. Same thing happened with Iris.
May didn't even want anything to do with Pokemon and just wanted to travel. That would have probably been the case if they didn't have Pokemon Contests.
The only one that had anything decided and actually did something was Dawn and they got that to work out fine.
