>>54078641This is maybe just me and also just cope, but I got into Pokémon when I was fairly young, and Misty always felt quite a bit older than me, same with Brock (and to a lesser extent, ash). And incidentally, I remember feeling like Jesse was 30 or something. Anyway, I don’t know if it’s that kid thing just stuck with me, where teenagers seem like adults and adults seem ancient, but I never really thought of Misty as a kid. Most of the other pokegirls, yeah, but not Misty
