I loved that Togepi! He was awesome! I don't even care what all the people on that Youtube video say about Togepi ruining Misty, he's too cute!

Youtube video? I did make a three-part series explaining why Misty should return (would have been four, but problems with trying to do multi-blurring [as there were images from Love Hina with several that were not child-friendly included), but I don't remember actually complaining about Togepi at all, even in the scenes that had to be cut due to editing problems. If anything, I complained about May and Manaphy, and more specifically her abandoning Manaphy to Phantom out of sheer cowardice, especially when she already had a Pokémon that was well-suited for retrieving Manaphy from Phantom: Squirtle, maybe Beautifly as well.
And either way, yeah, I agree. Besides, I'm not sure Togepi actually ruined Misty. After all, her motherly nature was already prevalent since at least the first episode, where she expressed concern for Pikachu after she accidentally fished Ash and Pikachu out. As well as the second episode where she was concerned after learning that Pikachu was in the ER. That's not even taking into account her nursing that Cubone back to health, so really, she already had a motherly aspect to the character (And based on some polls, that was also another thing that made Misty popular), even before Togepi, so she wasn't even ruined at all. Sure, it may have expanded on her motherly nature, but that's not the same as actually giving her a motherly personality as if she never even had one beforehand anyways, not to mention she still retained her temper even in late Johto, so no, Togepi didn't even take that away either.
And honestly, did Samus Aran get her character ruined when she became a mother to that baby Metroid in Metroid II and Super Metroid? Heck, Metroid Fusion, even (Other M's a different story due to Sakamoto basically butchering it for the Japanese fanbase, which only resulted in alienating both fanbases, especially the Western Audiences that are the reason why Metroid is even a popular franchise, especially with his poor, tasteless decision to make Adam and Samus's relationship similar to an abusive husband and his long suffering wife.)? Did Ariel's character get ruined when she gave birth to and became the mother of Melody in The Little Mermaid II? Heck, did Terra Branford's character get ruined when she became the mother figure of the orphaned Mobliz children in Final Fantasy VI? No, no, and no. If anything, at least with Terra Branford, not only did they actually become even more badass as a result, but that was actually part of the reason they were popular.
Apparently, the fans who decried Togepi for ruining Misty must have mixed her up with Naru Narusegawa, who BTW, had an even worse temper than Misty ever did, even in Misty's worse moments. At least Misty doesn't beat up Ash for accidentally looking at her while she's changing, or beat him up anyways when she walks in on him changing. And Naru alongside the other Hinata Inn girls (not to mention Kanako Urashima) were of the Hina stereotype (heck, Love Hina is even the partial namesake for that stereotype, the other part being Princess vs. Princess with the setting, O-Hina Town (this was only in the Japanese version, as the town was unnamed in the Dub).). Misty's temper wasn't even that bad, even on her worst days. If anything, Jessie came far closer to Naru's general personality than Misty did, and she also is kinda exempt from the Hina stereotype thanks to Princess vs. Princess.

Ehh, the whole mother thing is weird. You know, as a 7 year old, I just thought Togepi made Misty better. Now I have no idea, I just friggin love Togepi! have 3 plushies of him I do. And yeah, good thing with Samus. I didn't play Other M, which I was always skeptical of (it was basically the opposite of Prime in that many were afraid, their fears were met), but in Super metroid, yeah, that title screen reminding you of Samus' mission...Samus' baby. You knew it wasn't for just "oh, hey, the Galactic Federation wants this for some reason or another" which of course in Fusion was their own weapon. In fact, look at Metroid up to Fusion, or every non Prime Metroid other than maybe the first, and yeah, the baby has some influence, but Samus is still the ultimate female badass and is a badass mother done right. I'd maybe say the sex oibject thing is ruining Samus a bit more too, but I'm open to sexual stuff, I honestly think we as a society are messing something up, but uhh...yeah...Samus in her Super bikini fighting. Sakurai, I'm not sure that's gonna go well.
Oh, but yeah, I barely remember the Togepiland or whatever episode, but wasn't misty's special somehow? And for that matter, what happened to the "only one" status?

And I never really cared one way or another that Misty got a Togepi (I just figured, hey, she got a new Pokémon.), but I do get irritated when people are blaming it for stuff it wasn't even responsible for, or expecting it to do stuff that honestly it isn't even meant to do anyways.
As far as Other M and Samus, let's just say that Other M basically ruined Samus's character by effectively having her be all too eager to follow even extremely insane orders like going through a superheated area without the protection of the Varia Suit, and basically when encountering Ridley had a huge breakdown and it isn't even alluded to in-game why such was the case (In the 2002 Manga, it was established that Ridley and the Space Pirates' raids on K2-L left her with PTSD, having a similar panic attack when encountering Ridley for the first time since being orphaned by him. However, even that source had her actually getting over it by the ending of the manga, even mocking Ridley as she defeated him), also making her extremely weak and submissive, which not only conflicted with several fans' impressions of the character, but even stuff officially stated about her, such as the Prime games, the manuals, the Nintendo Power comics, the Smash Bros. trophy information and fighter bios, heck, even the 2002 manga, which as mentioned above was the source that revealed Samus's PTSD from the massacre at K-2L. Oh, and it also ruined Adam Malkovich's character to a huge extent, basically having him behave like a huge jerk towards Samus, far beyond even CO measures in Japan, much less his character who was established in Metroid Fusion to be, while strict, also fair and reasonable (something that was also backed up immensely by the Metroid 2002 manga, which until Other M was the only time he was actually seen alive since his "appearance" in Metroid Fusion was as a supercomputer that had his brain uploaded into it post-mortem and was established to have sacrificed himself to save her), and basically doing such, pardon the language, but dickish moves such as not allowing Samus to access the Varia Suit until she was at the middle of the Lava Dome (which, BTW, nearly got her killed for literally no reason, and was also largely Samus's fault due to not even taking the initiative) as well as shooting Samus in the back in the scene where he sacrifices himself. That's also not getting into the overuse and repeated emphasis on motherhood (even for it being a theme, it was far too emphasized) that would probably just annoy people. Probably the only character who was even remotely decent in the game was Anthony Higgs. Oh, and other problems with the game was several wasted plot points, such as the Deleter subplot, which basically ended up dropped fairly early without any real sense of closure (as the Deleter's identity was hinted at, but never firmly confirmed, and thanks to a rather poor way of how the Deleter killed another character by dumping them into magma, it also left an unnecessary sequel hook by hinting that one of the characters who was actually killed by the Deleter offscreen was the Deleter.). This is a good example of what I'm getting at: moonbase.rydia.net/mental/blog… I doubt most Metroid fans had any illusions that Samus was a man-hater, but still, how Samus and Adam's relation was played out actually came across as borderline misogynistic, and the plotline as well to some extent. It did handle the motherhood theme better than Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, which other than Kojima's own word, the only thing even hinting at a motherhood theme was Naked Snake comparing The Boss to a mother (well, that and The Boss being a C-section mother, but that barely got much focus, especially when Ocelot, her C-section son, she barely even acknowledges), but still, it was too emphasized for the theme, coming across as blatant as smashing someone's face with a hammer.
That also reminds me, had Togepi actually ruined Misty's character, you just need to see what Other M did to Samus to get a good idea of what it would take for Togepi to actually ruin Misty's character.
As far as Samus fighting in a super bikini, I'm not too sure about that, either, though unlike May and Dawn, at least Samus is of the age of consent.
And I take it you're referring to the Mirage Kingdom arc. Yeah, it was, though at least the two-parter justified it by mentioning that most of the Togepi were from an alternate dimension. DP failed to even justify it, especially given Dawn's Togekiss, heck, even that jerkish Togepi that gave the group and Team Rocket some trouble to some extent.

Jesus, that's one hell of an article. And to think in 2010, the only reason I wanted to play Metroid Other M was Adam. I heard "any objections, Lady?" and chills went down my spine! But uhh...he shot her!? And all the implications...wow. And the fact that Sakurai said "oh, let's make Samus Other M Samus in Smash Bros.?" Jesus, I'm hurting! I hear they're working on new Metroids in both 2D and Prime formats...I hope they redeem themselves.
That's right, Pokemon DPP had a small island with a few Togepis. Frankly, I want a Pokemon game where I can actually use an in game Togepi again. Used one in Heartgold, but it never was a Togekiss, and the one in Platinum was bullcrap. Man, there was a time in Pokemon where we'd use things like Sandslash and Rapidash and we wouldn't complain. Now we need Mega Salamence.

To be fair regarding Sakurai and Smash Bros., they don't exactly have much of a choice but to use Other M Samus as the basis for Samus in the current Smash Bros. games, as it's the most recent Metroid game. They generally use the most current character designs of certain iconic characters (exempting Mario and to a lesser extent Star Fox, though even the latter generally uses the same voice actors as those who were in the most recent games). Hence why Link and Zelda use their Skyward Sword designs while Ganondorf retains his Twilight Princess design.
And based on Miyamoto's words as well as Sakamoto being kicked upstairs thanks in large part to his bungling Other M, they're definitely going to redeem themselves. That being said, I won't mind if they retain Anthony Higgs, as he was one of the few good things about the game.
And I never really got that far into DPP (well, technically DP, as I enacted my boycott before Platinum even came out), though I know what you're talking about. To be honest, it seemed as though the only reason they even bothered implementing Togepi into there was solely for those who wanted to search for the Pokedex.

And Togekiss. Togekiss was introduced then, and is to this day an incredible asset to any team. But yep, more Pokeradar shit for idiots hunting shinies. That particular part of the game should have ended with Gyarados!
Yeah, that is true. But I thought Zelda was Twilight Princess?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that too. To be fair regarding shinies, though, even Gold and Silver mentioned a Pink Butterfree (though ironically, its actual shiny was closer to purple than pink).
And you're right, she is Twilight Princess. And so is Link, for that matter. Hmm... Odd, especially since technically, Skyward Sword is technically the most recent game barring Hyrule Warriors. Oh well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Half expected Dorf to have his Warriors look. People love that design! And it would be more recent too.
Yeah, funny how I thought Smash Link would represent the new art direction, but Zelda U Link is a bit different.
Ash's Butterfree was found with a Pink Butterfree in that one episode, yeah.

You know I can actually imagine Misty saying something like that.
