Okay, I'm pretty skeptical. <stereotypical nerd voice>I know a lot about Pokémon and dub censorship</stereotypical nerd voice>, including having read a large portion of Dogasu's Backpack, and I have never seen anything involving Misty that I would qualify as sexualization. There was the beach episode, but uh, the only person really sexualized in that one was James. If you can find me some examples of Misty being sexualized in the anime, I'll make cheese for you, but until then I remain disbelieving.

The card game isn't really relevant here, because it's almost entirely based on the games and not the show. However, while the card in question, Misty's Tears, did indeed show her naked, I would argue that it's about as un-sexual of nudity as possible, and is probably meant to represent purity more than anything else. Others may diagree.

Given that nudity = purity is a very common theme in Japanese works, yeah. That card looks like a perfect example of it to me.

I don't know... She seems to really big breasts for a 10-year old in that pic. Wouldn't that count as sexualization?

[vethica]

That's a fair point, although I will say in its defense, if she is supposed to be game!Misty we don't really have a canon age there. Her design post-three-year timeskip looks older than 13 to me.

[(Anonymous)]

Were we ever given official ages for the game characters?

[(Anonymous)]

what? those are like a cups, maybe small b cups at most. those are not "big breasts" in the slightest.

[(Anonymous)]

Usually ten-year-plds don't have breasts at all. They might be developing some breast fat, but typically, it's not really even as visible as an a-cup.

[(Anonymous)]

Riiiight. She's naked to symbolize purity... and other female characters wear revealing clothes to symbolize that they're strong, sexually liberated women... nooooo ulterior motives or other ways to symbolize those things without showing skin :3 When they made that card they had no idea the boys they were targeting might see anything sexual about a naked girl

hate to break it to you, but not every country or culture sees nudity as being automatically sexual, and japan is one of those. for example, the anime/manga beelzebub is published in shounen jump and is aimed at adolescents, and one of the characters is a (male) demon baby who goes around completely naked. it's not considered shocking or inappropriate at all.

japan also has public baths, and it's not uncommon for families to bathe together when children are young. nudity just isn't a big deal to them the way it is in the us.
