Ooh, so if Dento's an electric type gym leader, then maybe we'll have Emonga and/or Shimama in the group. I'd laugh though if Dento's first pokemon after those would be Koromori, ironic wouldn't it. Then from there, I could see Dento get any type of pokemon from there so it's possible to still see him with one of the starters.

The only thing stopping me from believing that dento is a GL is the fact he isn't wearing any military uniform likr the last 3 electric GL's.But who knows,they are probably not going to follow that trend this time.

I'm sorta afraid of Iris being a gym leader... Only because it would then be inevitable that hundreds of comparisons to another female character who is a gym leader would be made.

More senseless bashing is never a good thing.

If I remember correctly the person that leaked that Brock/Dawn would be leaving said the original character (Iris) was lightly based off of an in-game character.

I really doubt she would be a Gym Leader.

Oh crap Dento's a gym leader? My expectations have suddenly plummeted with this news. They'll plummet even furthur if Iris turns out to be a Gym Leader too.

I thought that Dento would be a grass or bug specialist at first, but after looking at him again, he could be an electric leader. He MUST have Emonga. I would love for that thing to be a main character in the anime.

Regrding Dento being gym leader who will follow same footsteps like Brock,deciding to join Ash on a journey i dont mind.There are many examples of gym leaders in this show who werent satisfied with their position wanting to follow their own path(like Brock,MIsty,Wallace,Koga etc).
Although i must say that having first gym leader from Isshu joining Ash is little similar to Brocks case seeming abit like rehash to me,but all in al im fine with it.

I only wonder what kind of type his gym is going to be specialized in.On first look,he leaves impression of being bug type gym leader to me,but there are other choices which could be possible too.Like grass for example.

I doubt Iris is going to be a gym leader too.If that leaked info is anything to go by(and so far it was credible to believe),Iris is going to be anime only girl(pehaps being based on some game chracter,but thats not sure aswell).And frankly i wouldnt want that either,that would just seem like copy of first series when both gym leaders joined Ash on journey.

It almost feels like they're trying to make up for Misty and Brock for not having any actual goals, creating fresh character with enjoyable personalities, for which I'm sure they'll have.

And maybe, I'm just looking too much into it. It probably means nothing. We have to wait and see.

Well to be fair older charcters can be enjoyable and fresh aswell.
Also Brock and MIsty had actual goals.Brocks was to become top breder,and his sending off wanting to become doctor has many connections with breeding.Mistys goal was to become water pokemon master which didnt get ending considering how writers didnt do much with it in first place,(which is unfortunately now at standstill due to being at gym,with no way for much further progress.).Reasons were because writers didnt had enough experience in early days when they just started out,aswell making some mistakes not giving her character more of a role (more detailed explanation can be finded in Takeshi Shudo blogs).
If anyone out of previous members deserves another return to cast would be first female,who never received ending,and who could offer alot in case of retuzrn but thats beside the point in here.

The scene of Reshiram could simply from some "this is the world of Pokémon / the Isshu Region" scene at the beginning of ep 1
It doesn't necessarily means Iris or Dento will see it
Though if Iris does see it, that makes it even more obvious that Iris=Reshiram=nature=Black Version and Dento=Zekrom=technology=White Version

I always pictured Ash seeing Zekrom. Like in DP, only this time, maybe Dento will see the 3rd mascot once that is revealed.

It makes more sense to me that Ash would get connected to the third version mascot and what it symbolise
Iris and Dento seem perfect for the current one's... and it makes sense the pair of new character will get relatd to the game pair and then Ash will get connected to the third one

LOL, a rehash of Dawn seeing the pixie in her first episode.

They're pulling that again? Can't the writers do a different intro ep for once?

They should have had Iris fish Ash out of a river... that's never been done :D

Ha! More Coro-coro scans are in, with some hooge Sugimori art of Dento and Aloe. Seems Dento's eyes in the anime are accurate to his game ones afterall!

There's also some more stock artwork for both him and Iris, with Iris' in particular looking pretty neat.

Tsutarja also looks like it's lived up to it's serpentine classification and eaten a route 1 rodent judging by how plump it looks :p

Damn. Well, now I can blame just Sugimori instead of the animators. ;P I like the new anime stock though. Maybe Iris sees Reshiram in the first episode, judging by the screencaps?

I hope Makomo gets a role in the anime; I think she's cute and deserves screentime for that~

Iris pulling a Dawn? I hope they do it a bit differently, like say have Ash be there at the same time.

I'm beginning to think that the gyms this region aren't type related but we'll see. The puzzle in Dento's gym about type compatibility sorta goes along with his friendship compatibility thing in the anime. But it's interesting to see more of Dento's gym. Hope we get to know one of his pokemon soon because it may be a pokemon he'll have in the anime.

There are no Dark type gyms yet, which I always found to be odd. It'd be awesome if Dento used Dark type Pokemon but it really wouldn't suit his character - maybe the man with the Umbreon will show some promise.

I'm a little disappointed that legendary Pokemon seem to be more commonplace in the anime now; I remember when they were reserved for movies and maybe a brief cameo episode if the writers were feeling generous enough (Ho-oh in episode 1 is somewhat of an exception).

Pokémon doesn't have writers any more. Instead, it has a group of monkeys with a hat full of slips of paper depicting plot lines left over by the Kanto writers. They pick them at random and replace names of characters to fit newer ones.
