Thread: Mysterious video about Misty!

Misty is not an adult in that trailer and the kid most likely had no relation to her.

Technically speaking, it is possible for a 17-18 year old to already have a five year old child, but I really don't think that they were going to that route. I doubt that they would have wanted any of the characters to have children that young and they probably would have made Misty look older, like maybe closer to how Ash's mom looks like, if they did want to give her a daughter. Besides that, the kid doesn't even look like her.

I remember seeing this trailer before. It does look like what could have been a finale told through flashbacks, especially when Misty is the only main character present during the scenes with the girl. It might have been interesting if we heard the original plans for this movie with some more details around the plot and how it was intended to end if they were going to use the movie as a finale.

I saw this video several times raising up many questions and various speculations. Video containing Misty, little girl, Pikachu and blue haired woman (most likely Miranda) is early trailer for first pokemon movie and likely part of "Grand finale"considered to be closure for pokemon anime altogether.

After all originally pokemon was intended to end after Kanto, but since games, show and whole concept became enormously popular producers decided to make sequel leaving this footage and material for ending unused.

Many people say how that little girl with pink hair was considered to be "Ash x Misty daughter" with presence of Pikachu adding more fuel to such theory. Especially given all those hints of romantic affection Misty showed toward Ash in OS.

However since we know ex head writer was against idea of romance in show makes such theory highly questionable and ungrounded, but than again Shudo himself mentioned how not everyone shared same views as he did resulting in disagreements and anime not taken through direction he wanted.

Personally im rather indifferent to this anyway because im not shipper, but i can see why so many people speculated about this given show history and what was present in trailer.

p.s. What i find more interesting however is that this was probably closest as we are going to get to see main characters aging, with time skip being used for this trailer.

It also seems Misty was only main character from pokemon we got chance to see as older, being one of possible ways how she could turn out to be in future.

Does it really matter anymore? Its an abandoned scene from early in the production of the movie.

There are probably countless scenes that were abandoned in the various movies. This is something that was likely abandoned sometime early in 1998. People should take off the shipping goggles because it has nothing to do with anything.

I always thought the young girl in the trailer was the girl that was singing A Fantasy in a Pocket (the song) along with Voyager.

Remember that trailer in the Darkrai movie with Pidgeot? Or that trailer in the Zoroark movie with Ho-oh and Lugia?

Yeah, this trailer is as canon as those movie's trailers.

My best guess is that originally the movie was going to be told through flashbacks, presented in the form of misty (and possibly that other woman) telling the child the story of how "mewtwo strikes back". Now, whether that kid is ash and misty's, misty's child who isn't related to ash, or the child of the other woman present with them is anyone's guess..... But because pikachu knows her..... Lol i don't really care, hahaha. I mean obviously all that was scrapped so it really doesn't mean anything. Still, would have been interesting to see what that movie might have been like.

These are trick trailers, they always have scenes of ish that is never in the movie. I don't think it was never gonna be in the movie at all. Most likely it would be basically something to get the audience to see the film.

Can't believe I'm doing this (linking from tropes) but this is what that trailer basically is:

Never Trust a Trailer - Television Tropes & Idioms
--------------

And I think that little girl is probably just either the lady's daughter or misty's cousin. Even if this trailer became canon, there won't be any romance in the show what so ever due to the writer of the movie not really into Ash and Misty being a couple. (or into ash falling in love altogether.)
'

I also think its likely that isn't Ash's Pikachu, because Ash himself is nowhere in that trailer and the two of them are NEVER apart. Its probably the little girls Pikachu, just like we saw countless characters with a Pikachu in the anime. I honestly don't get where people find "shipping" out of this, because that's just looking for something that isn't there.

Although I would have found it funny if we saw an older Ash and Brock there too, just out of the irony of the fact that Ash is still 10 and doesn't age...lol.

Thinking this is Ash and Misty's child is reaching..but thinking they would have a clip from a movie (that was at the time the series finale) of a Pikachu that does not belong to the main character, with the main characters best friend in it, isn't?

I'm surprised that no one has suggested that Ash was supposed to actually die in the original version of Movie 1, with Misty giving his Pikachu to a new trainer and telling her Ash's story.

I need a long explanation of this.

There is not a lot to explain, since there is obviously no proof. I just thought of this possibility as a way to answer Ash's absence from the trailer (apart from what would seem to be a flashback to the story with Mewtwo). It seems that someone at YouTube was a few days ahead of me:

Either way, he's dead, Pikachu was left alone until Misty and her "special friend" came along. There, Right in the childhood.

Shudo might have intended a similar situation to that of the Yellow saga of Pokémon Adventures, where Yellow took care of Red's Pikachu during Red's absence (when no one knew where he was or if he was still alive). Of course, Red was reunited with his Pikachu in the end, but they had been apart for quite some time. Perhaps Ash would have turned out to be alive by the end of the movie, too, but he would have still been presumed dead for years.

The comments are funny, Nurse joy and Misty get together XD

Personally, I doubt that they ever intended to kill off Ash, even when the series hadn't yet pegged itself as a long-runner. More likely he's not shown as an adult in that trailer because they wanted to preserve a few surprises for the movie itself. I note that adult Brock isn't anywhere to be seen in there either.

Still, say for a moment that the youtuber's theory is correct, and Ash actually was supposed to permanently die in the same way he temporarily "died" in the movie we got...in which case, it would be safe to say that that kid is almost certainly NOT his daughter. Otherwise, the implication is that he had sex and impregnated someone at age 10...which I really don't buy. :p

... The movie takes place between As getting the Earth Badge and his entering the league. It wouldn't have made sense for him to die in the movie at all. ._. Unless he attends the league as a ghost...
