Psy?

[@ezrawyvern6795]

Psyduck may have been rather high-maintenance at first but it's evident that high-maintenance doesn't mean impossible. Also, the fact that Misty didn't abandon Psyduck despite having multiple chances to do so and being driven nuts by him numerous times shows how good of a trainer and Gym Leader she is. Paul could certainly learn a couple of lessons from her.

To me, Psyduck was one of the best comic reliefs in pokemon ever. I actually thought he was better than pikachu because he gave more personality and laughs to the original seasons of pokemon, that I think he was the real reason pokemon was good to begin with, not pikachu. If Misty had trained him more and taught him calm mind before anything else, he might have been able to use his psychic attacks without getting a headache, and could have defeated pikachu with ease, proving he's better and more powerful than ash's pikachu to this day.

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

Misty: -constantly hits her Psyduck across the head -never misses a moment to remind her duck and everyone else around how much she despises it -tried to abandon it at a breeding center and even hoped the Farfetch'd thief stole it during the episode where all of her other Pokemon were stolen -treats her duck like trash while loves on her other Pokemon -encourages opponents to strike its head and even threatens to smash it with a bicycle to unlock its true powers Not a single fan bats an eye... Paul: -constantly put his Chimchar into tough battles and training sessions in order to unlock its true power (via Blaze) -doesn't shy away from criticizing his Pokemon for making mistakes in battle/training -releases Pokemon he deems weak, disappointments or doesn't meet his high standards...better to let them go instead of holding onto them only to have them endure even more 'abuse' -Treats ALL of his Pokemon the same even though outside perspectives felt he treated the little fire chimp worse than his other Pokemon Most fans call him a heartless trainer, horrible person and Pokemon abuser...

​@@ProfessorAlexSilver​ Got the idea from a fanfic - soon after application, it redeveloped Psyduck's mindscape, allowing him to "distance" most of the head-throbbing energy until he needed it for a Psychic attack, and using the rest of it to speak telepathically. Then Misty brought up swimming lessons. _Er, I mean, Ow the pain the pain my head is aching._

Psyduck was always me and my sisters favorite.

I loved Psyduck but I hated how Misty treated it. She was always so angry at it (some of that anger not being warranted) only liked when it benefitted her and had multiple chances to let it go if it was so unreliable to her but chose not to and leave it in this love hate relationship. Okay so hear me out on this, I got this idea from a KZbinr and thought it was interesting. What if Psyduck actually evolved into Golduck in that one episode? It became much more powerful and capable but also smarter. Misty loved this change but Golduck thinks about their relationship and how problematic it could be at times. This could lead him to not really listen to Misty anymore doing it's own thing like lounging, basically becoming like Charizard. Misty would be infuriated by this and they would frequently bicker with each other. But in time they would realize the faults both of them made and form a stronger bond because of it. Those are just rough ideas I had that I think would've been interesting to see. Overall I still love Psyduck and it's most recent appearance in Sun and Moon with how mellowed out Misty is about it.

One thing to note about Misty is that she's not the most patient person.
