Considering how much she liked Marill wanting him, its interesting she got finally its pre evolved form later in AG. Writers did excellent job with this one.
Yep, sadly Misty didn't received enough development in this saga, especially regarding her water master career. Though she still got some good growth in my book. I noticed she gradually started to mature(start was already in Orange Islands) becoming confident enough to get over her complex of inferiority caused by sisters not being bothered much about it(later helping others like Sakura how to deal with their older siblings for example),improved her battle skills and became more self critic admitting her own mistakes compared to early days.
Out of whole Johto, she had best treatment in Master Quest imo getting pretty food focus there but to not spoil further watch i won't say much about it.
