I actually like the idea...

Ew. I really don't. If they have another character who doesn't do anything but give advice here and there, I'm going to... probably still watch it but not enjoy it nearly as much.

I just like the idea that Brock's leaving. I don't know about Dento.

Oh, I see. Yeah, it's high time for Brock to get a break. I just don't want them to replace Brock just to get a clone of him in Dento.

That would make no sense at all. Why can't we have an entire team of noobs, except for Ash?

The writers have to put work into Dento's character because he's new.

Since Brock was already there for ages, they could leave him in the background since fans already knew who he was due to Kanto and to a lesser extent johto.

Either way looks like this "trio" might actually turn out entertaining. It sure would be a change from the last 4 years.

I really hope Dento is a Coordinator/Musical guy. I am not ready to see them go yet.

I wonder what you win in the Pokémon Musicals.
And the final competition, I wonder what it is going to be called. The Grand Concert?

Brock's been around for more than enough years, he's been in the background poor guy does nothing. I say, its time for him to go, I'm sure Dento will do some thing different than Brock. They have to, or fans won't like the guy. I'm thinking, musicals for him, he just looks right for them.

Well I kind of have a feeling that they might tie in musicals with contests. Or at least that's what I hope to happen.

I agree with you 100%. If Brock barely doesn't do anything anymore, why even have him in the show?

I hope Dento actually does something.

It is very refreshing to have a new start. I'm interested in seeing not only the dynamic, but the different teams and how the pokemon bond with Iris and Dento.

I don't wanna see Iris swing from tree to tree every 5 episodes, that will be boring. I hope she gets a starter, and I hope she's a battler.

I'm happy we got a character of color. Brock leaving isn't detrimental to cultural standpoints.

Even though this is unlikely, I still kind of hope that Iris is the gym battler and Ash is kind of her mentor, but still gets plenty of action and battles so he's not like Brock.

Would Ash still battle in the gyms?

Well I would think not. That's why it would be unlikely. I doubt the writers would give up Ash taking the backseat, but it would get old to show two gym battles every time. Unless they formed some sort of tag team but I don't really like that idea.

Maybe they'll have some anime-only gyms, and then they could go to different gyms instead of battling twice.
But it's not such a good idea.

I wish they could learn to let Ash share the spotlight, but throwing in contests and whatever other side goals we get this time is probably as close as we're going to get.

You have a point there. Ash can't always be the center of attention.
Though he already shares the spotlight with Pikachu.

But should that really count? I usually just throw them in the same boat. Except for those too common eps where the group gets seperated, Ash and Pika are always together. While I know that the writers would never take him completely out of the picture, I would like to see them focus on his traveling buddies more and make him a little less prominent.

They did focus on Dawn and Piplup for several episodes in the Diamond & Pearl series. Does that count?

yeah, but Ash was still the prominent character. I'm hoping for a big change that involves Ash being more like a mentor for Iris as she goes through her journeys. Then Brock's role would kind of be split up between him and Dento. Ash wouldn't have any major goals, but he would still catch pokemon and train them and stuff while showing Iris how a pro does it.
