Editing Misty (section)

=== Misty's Determination ===
Here's a more positive note. Look at that smile, she got hypnotized by an Asian dominatrix and she isn't letting it get her down! How inspiring.

This card is a less bonkers version of Misty's Wrath. You have to discard a card to use it and you only get to choose one card, not two. You do get to choose from 8 cards instead of 7 so at least it isn't [[strictly worse]]. It isn't terrible and may be quite strong in certain decks, but even in those decks there are probably better Supporters you could be using. It has the same problem as Misty's Favor in that if you grab a Supporter you can't use it until next turn.

What's amusing about this card though is the name, which was translated very carefully. The Japanese title is 「カスミのやる気」. A literal translation of that is something like "Misty is ready to do it".「やる」is, among other definitions, slang for "to fuck" in Japanese. 「気」means a whole bunch of things, but in this context can imply "intent". Now「やる気」as a whole is a compound word that has nothing to do with sex. It does, however, mean "eager and ready".<ref>If you're curious what the last symbol means, 「の」is a possessive conjunction. The の tells us the やる気 belongs to カスミ.</ref> And, well, you see the art.

It appears the translator took the safe route and picked the least sexual translation they could come up with that was still accurate. Noble, but not enough to stop me. I'm not only bilingual, I'm also immature enough to find a Pokémon card where Misty is ready to pounce on my dick hilarious, among other emotions.
