Misty's original anime design is too young, 90% of the time she's drawn with the large head and gangly arms of a prepubescent child, except for when the aniators get horny and draw her in a bikini and suddenly she's got B-C cups and curvy legs. And then you have two decades of fan art and official redesigns modifying the base design in different directions, so it's not really consistent what the fuck she's supposed to be shaped like. I think Ken Sugimori's Red/Green concept art depicted her as a young adult, like maybe 20-ish, but it's hard to tell because his art at the dawn of the pokemon franchise was... well, bad. And don't even get me started on the limitations of the GB's sprite detail. Also her RBY sprite has a strapless bikini top, and I don't think even 90's era Japanese game designers were horny enough to put an underaged girl in one of those. But we can only speculate.
