Ho-Oh + Johto starters > Brock + Dawn
In my honest opinion, of course. I'd like to see Dawn and Brock after they've moved on from Ash, but that can only happen in the BW series; for now there isn't much to do with them other than have them decide where they want to go. However, since Ho-Oh could motivate Ash to maintain the balance in Isshu in no more than five minutes, I think that there is a way for both of us to be reasonably satisfied.
