&& May! (game or anime, up to you)
I’ll try to answer for both when available.
First impression: (Anime) “Who is this? Oh you’re name is May? Okay.” I don’t really recall how I felt, whether I liked or not or what, but by the end of the second episode I remember I started to like her and didn’t mind Misty being gone much by then.
(Game) “Oh it’s May!” cause I knew the anime counterpart first and played Sapphire later, so it was so amusing to me to see her in the game. XD
Impression Now: (Anime) I miss her so much! She had great development as a character. Starting from a girl scared of Pokemon and not sure what she wanted to do to finding her goal and now independent enough to decide where she wanted to do on her own, I loved her. I miss all her Pokemon of course, but I definitely miss her Skitty the most. It was a package of joy.
(Game) While I’m not a huge fan of the friendly rival, especially since it’s practically all we get anymore, May always had that level of sweetness no one else got. So I still appreciate her for that.
Favorite Moment: (Anime) That’s hard to point to. Whenever she showed concern for Max like in the episode she gave up the hunt for her last ribbon to look for him instead. That one always sticks out to me the most. Another funny moment was when May ordered Torchic to use “Amber” instead of “Ember”.
(Game) The scene at the Mossdeep Space Center! Hoennshipping forever! <3
Idea for a story: (Anime) May finds the anime counterpart for Brendan and they get married. The end.
(Game) May and Brendan get married. The end.
Unpopular Opinion: I'm never going to get over that she lost to Dawn in the Wallace Cup. Like, I know we’re with Dawn (at that point) but man, May deserved that more and I’ll just never get over it. Also, seeing as how some were upset over my comment that I didn’t like Solidad, I guess this belongs here too. I don’t like how she lost to Solidad either.
“You beat the rival you’ve been losing to for three seasons! Yay! Now...let’s make you look like a newb again for our older character that kids look at and go “Woah, she’s amazing cause she’s an older character”.”
And, also I know this isn’t “unpopular” but I need to say it here again. Blaziken evolved WAY TOO LATE. Same with Ash’s Sceptile. If there’s a number 1 thing I can name that worked against the AG series, that’s it hands down.
I don’t have an unpopular game May opinion, sorry.
Favorite Relationship: (Anime) I do like Contestshipping. But of course, our anime-verse Hoennshipping is number 1 to me. ;)
(Game) Do I even need to say it? I am anyway. Hoennshipping! :D
Favorite Headcanon: I’m not really sure? For anime she becomes a top coordinator.
