>>51458761I love Misty, but Marina had to replace her in Johto with her career as an PokeIdol to differentiate her from Misty and focus the pokemon breeding mechanic with Brock, raising all kinds of baby pokemon.
That would have been preferable to seeing Misty become a filler character who only served to promote Togepi.
In addition, she could have had a return in an arc focused on the capture of Suicune with Marina.
