Misty DOES NOT Hint at Marriage!

pumpkinqueen This is what happens: Satoshi/Ash: "Himeka ... she's just like Takeshi, isn't she?" Kasumi/Misty: "Well, it's because she's fallen in love with Takeshi at first sight." Ash nods, facefaults, and Misty gives the infamous sideways glance. Why? Because he's surprised. Misty's revelation hadn't occurred to him yet, the blockhead, and so he's genuinely surprised. For once, it's going the opposite way: a girl is crushing on Takeshi (Brock), and he's the one being weirded out! I always hated how people turned that into a shipping moment. This is why I don't go by shipping moments, I go by what they have in commen and how they're alike.

NearRyuzaki shipping moments are kinda needed, going by what they are like means nothing if they don't have the on-screen moments to back them up.
