Since there hasn't been a thread made(I think) for characters of the anime only, I thought I would make a general one so we can discuss all aspects of all characters throughout the anime. From side characters to members of the main cast, what are some noticings you have on them that you think deserves discussion? How do you analyze certain characters? What kind of potential is there for other characters? What about the pokemon? How well characterized are they? You can even discuss the relationships between certain characters(e.g Hawlucha and Noivern, Dawn and Ash, Brock and the members of the cast, Clemont and Bonnie, etc).
For instance, something I noticed when I watched The Rise of Darkrai the other day was that the movie included a small detail that didn't really affect the plot much and could easily be taken out of the movie, but they did anyway, and that was an aspect on Ash's character. What I mean is, the fact that when Darkrai gave Ash that nightmare in the beginning of the movie, it involved Pikachu in danger. I know, I know, it was a testament to their bond, but I dunno, the fact that Pikachu didn't really have much relevance to the plot-line regarding Darkrai and the town just made it feel rather odd to include. ESPECIALLY when you consider how fast Ash's nightmare switched from Darkrai telling Ash about Dialga and Palkia to "Pikachu being in danger" before he woke up.
