since this is a reboot of the games i would not be surprised if the writers decided to do things different this time around. i can honestly say I have know idea what is coming at us in the fall.

Which is a good thing. DP pretty much exhausted the current Gym/Contest formula as far as it can go. And Paul being the biggest rival and Pokehunter J being the best villain.

BW is going to have to be really fresh without feeling like DP 2.0.

Regarding new character goals,hopefully Iris wont be coordinator and she definitely doesnt look appropriate to be one.Dento on other hand could either do contets or pokemon musicals,although idea of incorporating musicals into contests having them instead of appealing round makes sense and could be a possibillity.

Its hard to say at this point what will happen,but if it turns out that only Dento is game character(and at this point is pretty obvious he is) with Iris being anime only than this proves how writers decided to change formula finally putting male from games for a change instead of usual routine of bringing new girls from games after every couple of years.

I don't think the writers will allow Iris/Dento to fall into the same trap Misty/Brock did.

As time goes on,writing improves more and more so yep its common knowleadge how characters will be treated better.

This is a 200 ep series. Why do you want to sit through an arc with two characters doing nothing?

Remember the Johto saga? If Misty or Brock had a goal, Johto wouldn't have been anywhere near as boring as it was.

Last time i checked noone complained about Kanto and OI despite characters aside from Ash not getting alot,and honestly i cant see how someone can claime how said characters didnt do anything when this clearly isnt true.Sure they didnt collect badges,ribbons or something similar but they had their share of moments.

And for the record Misty and Brock both had a goal,problem was that writers didnt focused much on them(especially in Mistys case as its been explained in Shudo blogs).

Well, Johto was plagued by more than just boring decision in character choices, but that's for another discussion.

Problem wasnt in character choices,but in writers lack of experience and some wrongly done moves,causing dissapointment from fans.

Misty? Who cares? We all know she'll never be in the main cast again.

Well her fanbase which is very big cares about her,and never is such a strong word.Sure i agree most likely she wont be returning as main character ever again,but its not impssible if writers decide to change formula adding new twist into series doing somehing with older character.

Besides this wasnt talk about said character,she was just used as example to point out something.

I just skimmed through this thread and had a right good laugh.

1st people hated Iris then they suddenly love her and Dento looks like a freakin girl, but so does Orlando Bloom and girls love him so, what can I say?

I hope BW turns out to be as good as DP was, and not go down the Johto route.

Yep,people around here tend to change their opinions very rapidly which can be very surprising.

I dont even think Johto was completely horrible like some people tend to do,but one thing is for sure.New region wont go thrugh same route like Joto did.
Writers have improved alot since early days learning on mistakes and there is no way we will end up with same kind of scenarios like Johto provided with non existant rivals,pokemon not getting as good development,plots being dropped like GS ball and so on.
If anything things will be improved even more,both regarding new and older characters,aswell future plots,pokemon and all things which go with them.

It's weird. When I saw the grayscale artwork of Iris, I figured she'd have purple hair and I was pretty shocked when I ended up being right. And just by looking at her, I figured she'd be some sort of wild jungle girl and that outfit is an attempt to make her fit in with normal society... which would basically make her Sapphire from Pokemon Special, and so far what we've been told that's matching up as well.

Man. Just... man.

Although none of this is new to me (nor are the seiyuu rumors), I really like what I've seen. Iris seems like a fresh character that the Pokemon anime could use; with her fun wild personality. To be frank, I thought her design was hideous at first when I saw her concept art, but it's growing on me and she looks cute in animated form.

I hope, hope the rumours of Miyano being Dento's seiyuu are true. 'Bout time one of the "biggies" have a role on Pokemon....as in not COTD and not Ikue Otani. (Who pretty much became famous due to being the iconic Pikachu) For example, Rie Kugimiya voiced several COTDS during Johto. Aside from being rumoured to be voiced by the lovely Mamoru Miyano, the fact that he's a game character is interesting and somewhat of a relief. I wasn't a big fan of the anime adding original characters to the crew and diverting from the games. However, I like the idea adding game characters that are not the protagonists and gymleaders. As far as design goes, Sugimori's wins ten-fold in that department. But I'll probably end up loving his anime-counterpart anyway if he's voiced by Mamoru Miyano.

Although Musicals are quite similar to Contests, I can see Musical replacing them. I think Dento is the more probable candiate for said quest. As for Iris, I honestly have no clue, but the theory about her promoting the High Link feature would be creative and more fitting to her character. Dento and Iris obviously aren't newbies, so it is quite possible that Dr. Araragi will give the trio (Dento, Iris, and Satoshi) the starters as presents like in the game. (Yes, I know this has already been suggested; I'm simply reiterating the idea.)

Cue the Death Note jokes.

P.S.: *looks at TV Tokyo site* Iris is chinese. I dunno if this news is new or not.

Whaa? Megumi Hayashibara isn't one of the "biggies?" :/
Dento's voice will keep me watching...if anything else. Even if he's not voiced by miyano, it still sounds super-fabulous :D

I have not heard of this "china" in the pokemon world...I don't think that discussing what race she is would be...practical?

According to rumour, Dento's VA is Mamoru Miyano aka Light Yagami. :eek:
NO FUCKING WAY, Kira's VA is Dento's VA? BW keeps getting better it seems. If dento starts singing with his Pokemon, and Mamoru has to sing.....god damn it, its like that time Batman started singing in the animated shows. In otherwords, FUCKING AWESOME. Also, Iris is Chinese? Ruh-roh, this is not good news for the region.

Sorry, she completely slipped my mind. : P Because my mind was preoccupied with Miyano.

OH GOD YES. Or he could sing Dento's theme and make that the first ending akin "Kimi No Soba De" (Hikari's theme), except Megumi Toyoguchi didn't sing the original, and her version was released on the Dotchi~Nyo character song CD. (And it was in Hikari's voice rather than her own.) He'll have to sing eventually<3

Ruh-roh, this is not good news for the region.
How? There's all kinds of ethnicities in BW. The region is still quite ambiguous, let's keep it at that.

He will, and that's the best part about it. Mamuro has done some pretty fucking serious roles, and to be in Pokemon, its, just, damn.

I don't know why everyone's so psyched over Miyano doing Light's voice. Maybe it's because I don't really care for dramatic potato-chip eating man, but honestly, wouldn't his role of Tamaki (Ouran) be a better comparison of what type of role he'd play? I mean come on...Tamaki was a high class fancy guy, but he was also rather quirky and fun. Which seems like what we'll end up getting with Dento. Not "just as planned". :p
