I personally can't wait to watch BW. I'm loving Dento and Iris so far, they look like they'll be interesting characters. Although DP didn't have that many filler episodes, I hope BW cuts down on them and focuses more on the story and characters so that maybe we can have a proper un-rushed league this time around.

Ash will get Tsutarja. He's had every grass starter so far. I can then picture Dento getting Pokabu and Iris getting Mijumaru.

So basically a girl version of Sceptile? That's not really an "innovation".

A real innovation would be Ash actually focusing on the Water starter for once, plus the Water starter evolving to the 2nd stage and being the main powerhouse of a generation.

Has it been 100% confirmed that it's Mamoru Miyano?
As Miyano voiced Ling Yao, Masaomi Kida and Setsuna F Seiei I'd be interested. Dento does sound like Masaomi Kida, so maybe that's why I recognised it, but is it 100%?

If you think about it, Mamoru's voice sounds completely different when he's voicing say, Setsuna. I remember when Soul Eater's dub trailer was first shown, and everyone thought Johnny Yong Bosch was playing Soul, and he isn't. It's just an actor who sounds similar.

It hasnt been confirmed for sure...

Why do people want the same things to happen every generation? I hope the writers give Ash Mijumaru so we won't see basically the same crap over again. I think Pokabu should go to Iris and Dento can get Tsutarja or whatever. We've seen Ash with the Grass starter four times already, a little change never hurt anyone.

Giving him yet another one shows how unimaginative the writers are when choosing Pokemon for the main characters. I guess I'm giving them a little too much credit but I think they could at least go for something unexpected this time. :/ Getting rid of Brock was a start. Not putting White in was another. Why not give Ash the Water starter also?

Hell to the no for Ash getting Tsutarja he gets the Grass type starter every region it's getting old plus do you want Ash to have a fully evolved Grass type again? Dawn had Piplup the water type starter of Sinnoh Iris doesn't need it we don't need another Piplup let Ash get it instead.
Ash- Mijumaru
Iris - Pokabu
Dento - Tsutarja

Why did they make Iris a Token Minority?

My guess is because the previous "Token Minority" is leaving the cast... For good this time around.

It's also hard to apply "minority status" to inhabitants of a fictional world. Especially when we know little about the newest country our main character is going to, aside from the fact that it's supposed to be very diverse.

If anything, Ash now the token minority. Being from outside Isshu and traveling with "Isshu-natives".

Ash getting Chikorita wasn't boring, getting Treecko wasn't boring and neither was Turtwig.

Watch Tsutarja be a Treecko clone.

Can't Black people be in a show without being labelled a token minority?

Just because Trutarja looks a bit like Treecko doesn't mean it has to be a clone at all. Personally I'd like Ash to get Pokabu, but after all the Infernape drama and Quilava in the Sinnoh League, maybe it's time for Ash to have a little rest from fire starters.

the same could be said for grass since Sceptile dominated Ag, and we had to put up with Torterra in DP

Seriously it's time for Ash to get a water starter that will actually evolve.

That was my point actually. I put enphasis on Infernape because Sceptile was from the series before DP whereas the ape is from the latest. But yes, we need Ash to have a fully evolved water starter.

I completely agree, but It would be nice to see Ash get two starters again. I think two starters is a good number for Ash

I want Ash to get all three starters again. They keep on making his teams stronger than the previous ones and the only way to top 2 fully evolved starters is to have 3 fully evolved starters. Since Kibago is Iris' "starter", unless Dento gets one Ash does have a pretty good shot at getting them. But at the very least give him mijumaru and evolve the thing

People seem to forget that Brock had a similar skin tone.

In the long run, I've always thought that Iris was merely just well tanned, since she does seem to be the 'outdoorsy' kind from the preview. The 'tanned hyperactive girl' type of thing. Just look at Kaolla Su from Love Hina for an example.

Of course, we don't really know if Iris WILL be all that hyperactive or 'wild' or anything, but it would be amusing if she were.
