Since Iris already has a Pokémon, she has no business receiving a starter from Prof. Araragi. Of course, an exception could be made like in May's case where she obtained Squirtle from Prof. Oak, but I suspect that none of Araragi's starters will be given to the main cast (as was the case with Elm's starters).

They could be for Bel, cheren and black/white, the possible rivals.

It's amusing to think of those teenagers as being less advanced than Ash is, let alone Iris. Jimmy, Marina, Brendan and Lucas were portrayed as being at least on Ash's level, so I wouldn't be too sure about your speculation.

Now i think about it, the rival(s) might not be getting the starters from prof.araragi because it will be pretty stupid if they made Ash's rivals begginers
It's possible dento's the new trainer.

I won't be surprised if that happens, since Iris seems to already have Kibago with her and Dento doesn't seem like a beginner
But on the other hand, remember how in games Araragi gives the trio the starters as a gift? could the same thing happen now? maybe Ash, Iris and Dento end up saving Professor Araragi and the starters from something (TRio? Team Plasma?) and she decides to give them the starters as a gift... maybe during the whole mess each of the trio befriends one of the starters and Araragi decides it won't be right to separate them

nah, it would be better if they all received individual episodes.Shoving the three main characters and the 3 starters in the fisrt episodes doesn't seem like a good idea.

Piplup does have a point that Ash, Iris and Dento may be treated like the player character, Bel and Cheren in the games. After all, the DP trio can be compared to the in-game Lucas, Dawn and Barry in terms of their association with the Lake trio (although in the games only the player was connected to Mesprit, with the other two just wanting to protect the lakes).

I can't see anything wrong with it, especially since they'll probably make eps that focus on each starter and its trainer early in the series (just like Turtwig got DP6 and Pip got DP7 and Chimchar got DP53 - they always get eps to themselves soon after they join the cast)

And like I said before, I like someone's idea about Iris representing nature and being connected to Reshiram (which is the mascot of black, and Iris has dark skin) and Dento representing technology and being connected to Zerkrom (which is the mascot of white, and Dento has a light skin color)
Which would then lead to Ash representing whatever the third mascot is
I really like this idea... I hope they do it

We can see Pokabu and Mijumaru in a Gym, that's why, I think that Satoshi will get both of them. For Tsutarja, I don't know. I can see Satoshi with the three starters like in Kanto or Johto but also Dento with him.

As I said before, all scenes are probably from the first ep only (or at most, first 3 eps) so no, that's most likely NOT a Gym... it could also be an imagination scene similar to Dawn's in DP 1 (also, not every building a Poké battle in is a Gym)
So no, that doesn't really prove anything... we still don't know who gets which starter and there's no hints at all

Yeah, I don't think the characters WON'T get the starters (although I'd love to see Jessie or James get Tsutarja), but I think it'll be like RBY and GSC where wild ones pop up a bit later.

I think that Ash will get Miju, Dento will get Smugleaf, and Iris will not get a starter. I guess Pokabu will go to a rival.

Can someone tell me if it's confirmed BW will air 9/23, because that'd be sick - two days after my birthday XD.

I guess it's confirmed. DP ends on the 9th of September. Then there will be a Naruto special thing taking the anime's spot the next week. So the earliest BW could air is September 23rd.

At least, that's what I got out of it.

Only if they are doing the present thing like in the games but i can't see that happening.Why in the world would the professor give Ash a starter other than a lame reason it befriended Ash.
The present can be for iris, dento and iris/dento's rival and Ash can find a much better one in the wild.

Is it me or do Wotter look a bit...Cocky in that clip? If that's the same one from the other clip it seems like an interesting Pokemon to say the least. Quite a bit happy.

how does it look cocky? it's just shown making a "oh no you didn't" face and attacking. if anyone's cocky in any of those clips is tsutarja. its eyes make it look like an arrogant, showing off bitch.
