@SNEK I mean, she *is* one of the original 8 Gym Leaders, and GenWunners are a dominant section of the Pokemon fandom, but most of her popularity is probably derived from the anime.
She still easily qualifies for the contest under my rules, the real question is whether Misty should also qualify for something like the anime girl tournament, essentially giving her dual citizenship
@beardalaxy@SNEK True, that's the strict interpretation of the rules, though I do think such borderline cases are pretty interesting.
I guess it comes time to if it's ever acceptable for a character to be able to compete in multiple tournaments, or if she needs to stick with one - in which case, yeah, Misty belongs on the vidya side, not the anime side.
