Most don't bother with the single ponytail, and those that do just let it hang down instead of making it a little shorter and getting it to stick out straight, which is part of the iconic look. Then there's all the minor stuff on the clothes. Misty didn't wear trashy too-small clinging booty shorts, but simple short shorts with the bottom hem rolled up a small amount. That's wrong in all the ones in this thread. Then finally, a lot of these have visible tattoos, piercings, and dark makeup. Misty has none of those in her design, so it always stands out as another thing separating the cosplay from being accurate.
But most people don't give a shit about this. They just want a sexy girl with big tits wearing a crop top and short shorts. And plenty of "cosplayers" know this, and don't put in extra effort. Why would they? Just as many people will give them attention and say, "Wow, great cosplay!" if they don't.
