You know I haven't ruled that out but the only thing that is holding me back from that theory is that Ash's rivals are usually closer to his age like Paul, Gary, Morrison, Harrison and all the others. The only that screams older was Nando, but who knows. It would be really hard to start out with a rival with a Darkrai.

Technically this rival might be, "similar to Paul," so this might be what the guy meant.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Darkrai trainer continue as the main rival next arc.

Yeah but you can't deny that Takuto looks older and most of Ash's rivals aren't that much older than him. The only two are Tyson adn Nando. And he's never had a rival for a whole region that was already a champion. Unless Paul won one of the leagues he was in.

This is just the access ranking, not the TV ratings. That means many people have accessed the Best Wishes page on TV Tokyo's website lately.

I'm sure Pokemon would be more loved over here too if they switched it to another station. For some reason Cartoon Network feels like they onlu need to care about there own shows ><
I think Pokemon is pretty popular in Japan though.

They do. Thats why all the anime air so early on a Saturday. And the fact the Toonami was removed.

Really? But Total Drama's Canadian.

And I don't even see the point in Pokémon Sunday existing.

Either way, have they revealed anything new yet about Best Wishes since Iris's vine-swinging?

Yeah true. But pokemon has been removed off Diseny XD over here in the UK. No idea when they'll bring it back. Though in the meantime, Cartoon Network seem to have this facsination with the Advanced Gen and play it a lot theses days :l

Really? Over here Boomerang is currently doing the entire Johto arc every evening at 6:30. Boy, do I love Boomerang. Boomerang is what CN SHOULD be; a network of C A R T O O N S . Oh yeah, [/offtopic]

Anyway, I kinda don't like the animation in the BW teaser. Something seems "off."

It must be one of those bad animation director's episode.
The characters do seem to look a bit off, especially the prof, her face seems smaller than it should be.

That's because it's Izumi Shimura's animation, and Yuusaku Takeda works for her, who is possibly the worst animator in existence.

Takeda doesn't animate for pokemon anymore.
The character's models are off but they don't look Shimura/Kinoshita bad.

He works under Shimura. It's also possible that the episode is animated by Tomohiro Koyama, though Koyama's animation is slightly worse. Or maybe it could by Atsushi Ogata.

They must have, because they do that for every series.

The clip with Dento in it looks like an episode animated by Kunihiko Natsume; I'm sure of it.
