Hi, you're a new face! What's your policy on Pokémon? What is your approach? My policy is an all-out offensive with Water-type Pokémon! Misty, the world-famous beauty, is your host! Are you ready, sweetie?
Misty, Pokémon Yellow
Misty is the Gym Leader of the Cerulean City Gym and specializes in Water-type Pokémon. She gives the Cascade Badge to trainers that defeat her.
Appearance
In Red and Blue, Misty has blonde hair, light skin, and wears a strapless two-piece blue swimsuit, leaving her arms, legs, and belly bare. A pair of sandals completes the outfit.
In Gold and Silver, Misty's hair is orange and is styled differently. She also now wears a blue and white one-piece swimsuit and a white jacket over top of it leaving only her legs bare.
In most sources, Misty is said to be 10-12, which fits her childlike build resembling a small girl (although she looks older in Gold and Silver), having short stature and not much female development.
In Let's Go, Pikachu and Eevee, Misty wears a new outfit, similar to her anime counterpart's outfit, she wears a white and blue shirt and blue denim shorts, her eyes are now blue and also wears red, blue and white sneakers.
Personality
Personality-wise, Misty is said to be a tomboy. She is competitive and brave, and also says things that are either on her mind or what she first thinks of.
Biography
Games
In Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, as the Cerulean City Gym Leader. She is given the nickname "The Tomboyish Mermaid" and uses Water-type Pokémon. When defeated she will give the player a Cascade Badge along with TM03 (Water Pulse)
In Gold and Silver, she still appears as the Cerulean City Gym Leader, though her depiction seems older compared to her previous depiction.
From information gained from a variety of games, it is known that Misty is always looking for a way to improve her techniques. When she trains, she goes to the Seafoam Islands for herself, and her Pokémon. Misty also has high hopes for Cerulean's North Cape, which is known as a romantic date spot. She also dreams of travelling when she becomes a better Pokemon Trainer.
Misty also appears on Pokémon Channel on a full Japanese Pichu Bros. Disk. It differs from the other Japanese Disk as Misty's (Kasumi's) voice actress is the narrator.
Manga
Adventures
The Electric Tale of Pikachu
Misty has been in several Pokémon manga through the years. She has ranged from being a main character to being one of the minor characters depending on the storyline. She shares some similar experiences with her anime version in "The Electric Tale of Pikachu". Her bike is also destroyed by Pikachu's Thundershock, and she occasionally tags along with Ash in his travels, though it is not as constant as it is in the anime. There are some differences though, including her outfit, and age (12), while she is 10 in the animated series and the fact that she is not always travelling with Ash. Eventually Ash and Misty battle in the Cerulean City Gym, it is not really a battle though, as the goal is for Ash to retrieve his stolen hat from Misty. Even after this she still follows Ash, in claims that she wants him to pay her back for the bike. It is claimed that Misty has a thing for younger men, Ash, by her sisters after their Gym Battle when Misty is overly harsh with Ash after winning.
