Araragi being female I really don't think'll be too important to anything. I mean aside from Oak, the professors haven't been terribly important. Sure they show up every so often, like when Rowan was at the summer school thing, but it's not like Ash really calls the regional professor, he just calls Oak. Dawn called her Mom, so it's possible Iris would call Araragi, but I'm guessing if she calls anyone, it'd be Umbreon Man. This gen could be different because of Musharna Lady, but I'm not expecting anything.

I have not heard of this "china" in the pokemon world..

...
Arcanine's Yellow entry said:
A legendary Pokémon in China. Many people are charmed by its grace and beauty while running.

Parasect's FR entry said:
It scatters toxic spores from the mushroom cap. In China, the spores are used as herbal medicine.

Some trainer in DPP said:
Why the emperor of fishing? It's an ancient Chinese legend...

Those are just some of the Chinese references.

Has anyone translated Dento and Iris's TV-Tokyo bios yet? I'm interested in them.

LOL, that pic is hilarious. Is that from "Pasta La Vista" or the league eps? Those are the only two eps I remember her talking about them.

I'm now sorta curious if any of Iris's relatives/origins will be shown. So far, all we know is that she's a "wild child", but does this mean that she grew up in the wilderness without parental supervision or something? That might be a tad unbelieveable.

I doubt it. She seems pretty tame. Just tomboyish and wild.

Look at other Pokemon examples, like Hareta or Sapphire. They were raised around humans yet are still "wild" at heart.

Archaic did the same day the site was updated.

Basically it says Iris is a wild child who travels with her friend Kibago and likes to eat berries.

Dento on the other hand is a Pokémon Sommelier who will judge how compatible trainer and pokemon are.

Dento really doesn't sound like a rival, so I doubt we're making the same mistake as when DP started, and people thought Paul would travel on the group instead of being a rival.

He really does seem like he'll be Ash's third companion.

Not to mention, the blog from awhile ago said that the rival is Paul like. Dento seems like the opposite of that so yeah, he does seem like Ash's third companion.

Dento is a third companion, not a rival. The rival is probably N, Black, Silver, or some random expy.

It does make me wonder who the blog was referring to when they said Paul like rival. Unless they change Cheren's character from the games, it's not him. It could be N but I could've sworn N's trying to be that fake nice character with hidden intentions. So we'll see I guess, I certainly am curious to see who it is.

Yeah I know, but the blog seems to only reveal the first few episodes. I'm sure that if we do see N in the anime, he'd probably portray himself as nice until a shocking moment happens when everyone sees that he wants humans to be separated from pokemon. Paul's pretty upfront so if the rival is Paul like, I'm not sure if it'd be N unless the writers tweaked his character a bit.

I'd expect a brand new character, akin Paul.

Cheren seems too nice to be it and N is an antagonist, not a rival.

So China is mentioned both in the games and anime. I concede that, but I still have my doubts, as those are random references IMO; that's why I still have some doubts whether Iris will be explicitly from China or just alluded. But if her Chinese origins are true, it would be great to finally have a real world location in the PokéWorld.

Although in that case, I wonder how they'll treat Poké-Japan, will they explicitly say that Ash comes from Japan or will he just repeat the "I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, in Kanto" mantra?

Regarding Dento, it's pretty sure he'll be the new Brock. I'm curious on when will they reveal the true rival, especially whether he'll be an ingame character (Cheren, most probably) or original. My bet is that he'll be an anime exclusive character just like Iris.

You mean "second" (unless Pokemon count)...

But yeah, I agree.

Let's hope he can also avoid becoming Tracey 2.0 for that matter.

Maybe I misunderstood the context but those Chinese references are not truly random. They're relating China to the Pokemon and giving us a bit of info on legends or things surrounding them.
