Sorry if I'm babbling about a subject I already commented on, but with the name 'Misty', among other similar connections between English language and English Pokemon names, the connotation is even stronger when English isn't your mother tongue, I can tell. Especially little kids may have learned the word 'mist' AFTER seeing the first Pokemon ep. Silimilarly, I'm forgetting how to spell the world 'polygon' though it should be rather easy to distinguish. The problem is that it's hard to remember which letter has been changed between an English word and a Pokemon name.
