Are they really boring? Or is the way they are handled boring? The Whirl Cup was an interesting concept for example, yet Misty vs Ash was a bit cheap. True. That's one thing that always bothered me. Poliwhirl was Misty's Ace-yet when it became a Politoad it lost it's flare. I honestly...

Hey Guys, Cinderfella here. On the show Misty attempted to catch an oddish, Jigglypuff, and Farfetch'd. She also initially intended on bringing Togetic back to the Gym before releasing it and I believe she probably may have used it in battle. Misty got Azurill as well yet we all know its...

Does no one else find Sylveon over Umbreon a waste? Especially since Pancham can evolve into Pongoro.... I think Serena would place herself on the map with some dark type performances, instead of clichéd ones. Not that I don't like Sylveon, but since every girl before her has had a...

I think it's been on everyone's mind. While I think the development Serena got in her very first debut may be one of the best in all anime history, the goal and the actual competitions themselves fall lackluster. Serena seemingly being good is nice and all, but other than the little dramas...

Hello All, Back again. Watching X and Y and reading commentary about Serena's goal as well as keeping in mind those who felt Misty and Iris' goals left much to be desired-I wondered: what could the writers have really done to flesh each out more or currently right now with Serena's. With...

Here's the thing: In my opinion, BW Ash was not that great. Neither was Trip. So to have Trip out of the first round and then to lose in such a shitty way to Cameron was justified. However, We all knew what Ash was capable of in Sinnoh and even prior, so I felt bad for that Ash, not the Best...

Hello All! It's Cinderfella here, back again. I've noticed people have been speaking a lot about Iris making a potentially return or not for the usual previous girl cameo. In reading people's opinions-I had forgotten how poorly Iris' development was handled. I, for one, was very...

May and Dawn...and to a vaguer extent Misty and Iris...were all battlers. I say vaguer because Misty and Iris didn't have routinely battling competitions like Contests besides Tournaments to further their goal; however, in order to become Water and Dragon Pokémon Masters-they do have to battle...

Hello everyone. Thank you first off for replying to these threads. I have been horrible at responding, but I will in time. I've just been reflecting on the series lately wanted to know if people had these same questions. We all know BW had its flaws, but Georgia and Burgundy were well...

It's something that I never really understood. Heracross is a great Pokémon and all, I just found it very random how often it appears. And with its new Mega Evolution and the possibility of Ash potentially using reserves come League, I can't help but wonder: why all the Heracross love? In...

Hello everyone. Me again. I'm finding my way slowly but surely getting back into the anime recently. One thing that has been helping me is reflecting(not staying) in the past of what the anime used to be. One thing I've been pondering about are the female leads as battlers-hence the Iris and...

Hey All. Something has been on my mind for awhile now. Ash has lost to both Iris and Misty and there has been some backlash against this for each, mostly due to the way the defeated him or what led up to them prior. Granted he did defeat them once also, but just out of curiosity-was the idea...

A lot of people here bring up compelling arguments. Some things in BW that were by far from perfect, but could work if utilized properly perhaps in XY: Tournaments and Rivals. Even before DP, Harley was a genius of a rival. We've literally never seen someone like him on this show before-and...

Re: Upcoming XY episodes - Barbaracle, Sanpei & Greninja / Froakie's possible evoluti Froakie...evolving...there is hope for this series after all. Now if this isn't a fake out, then XY has earned major bonus points in my book! And I agree with many on here, Ash desperately needs a rival to...

Hello Everyone, It's been awhile since I've posted on here. I've been having an inclination to go back to my Pokemon roots and make sure that I'm up to date with everything. After getting up to date, I couldn't help but find myself wondering what on Earth has left since DP ended? I am very...

Anyone hoping to see Agatha use Arbok? We haven't seen one used in such a long time. It'd be nice to see one in action that is pretty badass. On that note, I really hope they don't rush through the E4 battles. Since I'd doubt they'd show us all full battles, they should just show each E4...

People really? Legend of Thunder was ages ago, why does it matter? We should just be lucky we got this special at all, although I hope everything does come out balanced and well written indeed.

I am giving them both the benefit of the doubt because Best Wishes didn't even handle Ash right, so in retrospective his friends can only be worse. Iris was different, had a unique design, and was the first female companion of color that we've gotten. Cilan was very refreshing from Brock and...

Looking on the positive side of things: despite their lack of appearances tail end of BW, BW would of been a lot less tolerable if they weren't there at all. The fact that they were in Best Wishes helped me find some positive things to say about this dreadful saga. Thus I will miss them but...

I'd rather have someone on the cast do contests than nothing at all. It may be repetitive indeed, 3 girls of main cast, but it does balance a saga out a lot more and gives the audience someone to root for and the character something to fight for. Interesting twist if Clement got into them.
