    News Iris listed on NHK's best character list (based on characters VA)

    And don't forget Futaba from Persona 5.

    Review SM007: The Vagabond in the Market, Nyabby!

    A pretty well-constructed episode. Ash deciding not to catch Litten was a pretty nice twist and it was perfectly reasonable, as well. The episode did a good job breaking down Litten's character and background concisely. I also liked how Ash has retained the self-sacrifice aspect of his character...

    Review SM006: The Shocking and Prickly Togedemaru!

    First, Bewear was Jesus Christ. This episode, Bewear was a leaf shinobi. What's next?

    Review SM005: Ashimari, Give it Your bALLoon!

    Holy crap, I died at Bewear doing its best Jesus Christ impression. If there is one aspect of SM does better than XY, it's definitely the humor.

    Famous Japanese voice actors on Pokemon (Not Opinion Based)

    Megumi Toyoguchi voiced Dawn/Hikari. Some of her most notable roles were Yukari in Persona 3, Revy in Black Lagoon, and Winry in Fullmetal Alchemist. Yuuki Aoi voiced Iris. For her age, she already has a rather extensive resume. For a few examples, she voiced Yuuki from SAO, Komachi from...

    Preview Pocket Monsters Sun & Moon

    That's a rather significant shift in artstyle, but I can get used to it. What's more important to me is how Ash's character and development is handled and the interactions with his companions. Changing up the formula with Ash going to school is a big risk. It gives the anime a breath of fresh...

    Review Every Series

    1/1. Sinnoh/Kalos Both arcs were very strong, albeit for different reasons. In Sinnoh, Ash was very inventive in his battle tactics and I liked how he and Dawn bounced ideas off each other. The ideological battle between him and Paul is arguably the best rival matchup in the series. In Kalos...

    Possible reasons for the Kalos League finale

    And I actually agree with this. I was just trying to play Devil's Advocate and well... it's pretty damn hard >< It would've been cool if Ash invoked memories of his previous companions and Pokemon, and that gave him the extra push to win.

    Possible reasons for the Kalos League finale

    While the animosity towards you is unwarranted, your recent behavior does not coincide with the opening sentence. You made sweeping generalizations such as "Everyone just wants to bash Alain" or "There is nothing but biased hatred" when these are obviously not true while claiming to have "shown...

    Review XY131: Kalos League Victory! Satoshi's Ultimate Match!!

    While some people's reactions were over the top, you're not making any better contributions with that generalizing opening sentence. A lot of people were disappointed with the outcome, albeit for different reasons. Yes, some have a bad case of excessive entitlement, but others have provided...

    Possible reasons for the Kalos League finale

    As someone pointed out in the review thread, Manon was probably the driving factor behind Alain's victory. His motivation to protect someone he deeply cares, even if going about it the wrong way, might have put him on top. In contrast, we do not see a similar motivation from Ash. It actually...

    Review XY131: Kalos League Victory! Satoshi's Ultimate Match!!

    Yeah, I was hoping Ash would do that like in Sinnoh. However, it does make this run more impressive since Ash managed to reach the finals and almost win the whole thing with just his Kalos team.

    Most annoying gag

    1. Iris's "You're such a kid" catchphrase - Extremely annoying and also hypocritical. 2. Bianca running into Ash - A lame attempt at copying Barry and I didn't find the gag to be that funny. 3. Brock's flirting - It was funny at first, but it got old by Hoenn. 4. Cameron slapping his forehead...

    Worst Way Ash Has Lost The Pokemon League?

    Kanto - It was unfortunate that Ash lost because he was busy fighting Team Rocket off prior to his match with Ritchie. However, for his first crack at a Pokemon league, Top 16 is nothing to sniff at. Johto - Not really much to complain here. It was a very close match between his Charizard and...

    Preview XY080: Tairenar and Yancham!! A Captivating Fiery Performance!!

    Surprised to see Miette returning considering that her seiyuu retired quite early. Did the staff manage to find a replacement or did Saori came out of retirement?

    Will Iris return in the XY saga?

    If Iris is to return for a cameo, then it will be extremely forced. Over the course of BW, her character was handled very poorly. Stunted development, her hypocrisy with her "You're such a kid" catchphrase, DEM moments, the list goes on and on. Heck, Ash did a much better job taking care of his...

    Review XY074: Kunoe Gym Battle! The Beautiful Fairy Trap!!

    I really enjoyed this gym battle. Fletchinder appeared to be in a bind when Sylveon wrapped it around with its feelers. However, Ash realized that it made Sylveon an easy target for Fletchinder's flame charge. I also liked both of his strategies for Spritzee's trick room. At first, I thought Ash...

    New Ending: DreaDrea by Shoko Nakagawa

    There might be a Serena version of DreaDrea down the line. This is also not the first time where a main character's theme is not initially sung by the character's seiyuu (e.g. "By Your Side" being sung by Grin first, then eventually sung by Megumi Toyoguchi).

    Does Anyone Feel Something Is Missing After DP?

    I've been enjoying XY so far, but I do agree that it's lacking that magic DP (and my co-favorite Battle Frontier) had. As Hidden Mew said, contests were a huge part to the anime. In DP, they were significant to the point that much of Ash's battle strategies revolved around contest techniques...

    Preview XY049: Dispatch the Laplace Protection Team! Do Your Best, Eureka!!

    It has been while since we've seen Lapras in the anime. And more Eureka is always a good thing.
