I really hope they don't completely replace the contests with pokemon musicals.

They might, since whatever sidequest thats in the first 2 games of that gen, it always makes it into the anime.

At least they didn't have all the dress up and dance mess in the Gen IV anime.

I doubt it. Names almost always get changed; Even if it's foreign sounding.

Except I can think of several characters with english names in the Japanese version that keep their names for the english version.

As far as I'm aware, Iris is currently the only main character with an "english"-sounding name. Satoshi, Takeshi, Kasumi, Haruka, Hikari, Masato, Kenji... They're probably all common names for Japanese people (Maybe I'm wrong...).

It wouldn't be entirely unrealistic for Iris to keep her name for her english debut.

Dento could be changed to "Denny", in the same way Kengo got changed to "Kenny". Maybe.

It's going to be interesting to see how they tackle it.

Thinking about it, TCPi really doesn't have to change their names. The only time is when they're forced to (due to localizations from the games side). It's certainly a unique case.

For Iris, I don't see a change happening. It's a name English-speakers are familar with.

For Dento, I don't see a change either, but I do see how others could believe differently. There's always a chance it'll become something similar.

EDIT: I need not remind you that this is all going under the assumption that Iris and Dento won't have real game equivalents with their own names pre-attached.

I like the character designs alright. Now just comes the plotline. I hope Iris is a Pokemon Music competitor. Probably though.

I see 'Dento' being changed to 'David' or 'Denny' but I can't see his name being the same in the dub. I could see Iris staying the same.

Maybe Dento will be as oblivious to girls as Ash is to solve the whole Brock issue, or maybe even be metrosexual like Ruby is in Pokemon Special.
Sudden, random idea: he should totally hit on Ash continually as a running joke.

Dento seems like he'd be the guy who all the girls fall for...but turns them down because he's a sommelier.

The Anti-Brock(TM) if you will.
This works too.

I think it depends on how Iris will be portrayed.
If she will be portrayed as a foreign character, then they will probably change her name to a non english one to keep it foreign(Just like Melissa was changed to Fantina).
If she will be just a girl who happens to have western name, then they will probably keep her name.

How will Team Rocket get to Isshu? Will they even go to Isshu? They probably will since Pikachu will be there haha, but still we haven't seen Team Rocket nor do we have any news that they will be going to Isshu.
Do any of you think that they will be replaced by Team Plasma?

We don't have any news of Satoshi/Pikachu either. ;P I bet Plasma-dan will be the evil group again, nothing else.

Team Rocket were shown on the leaked character sheet.

Hey, has anyone noticed that TV Tokyo has uploaded short footage of the starters' attacks on Youtube today?
http://www.youtube.com/user/TVTOKYO

YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH MIJUMARU'S VID:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrRbyOt8VCA

Like i said before, there is a chance that Ash will get both mijumaru and pokablu based on the fact that mijumaru seems to be battling in the same Roark gym look-alike that pokablu is fighting in.

But we may get another case of rival challenging the gym like paul.In that case it's hard to tell.

Where did the 23.9 date come from? no official source ever said this, just that DP ends on 9.9
Anyway, it's pretty obvious all scenes we saw are from the very first ep only (or at most, the first 3 eps) so no, I doubt the starters are shown in a Gym... unless it's an imagination scene

after dp's last episode there is a break, because naruto's confirmed to have a 2-parter that week.So do the math.
