That is the question, isn't it? And it's a question I don't think will be answered until BW begins. It might be a good idea to keep an eye on the site, too.

After seeing fantina, i don't think i want to see another character with a french accent.

Speaking of french, why do the french speak with the accent, can't they speak with a normal english accent?

You don't really believe all French people talk like that, do you? If you do, you need to stop watching anime dubs, silly cartoons and movies. Some can speak English just as "well" as you do.

Okay. Have something that will make this clearer to you.

What's the language you've learned all your life?

If it's English, here. Go learn to talk in Arabic. Or heck, just the alphabet.

Watch as I laugh at you for being inable to pronounce the letter khaa, dhaa, saad and dhaad, which have no English equivalent (so my writing their names there won't really help you at all), not even in sound.

Then I'll ask you why you talk in that accent and why can't you talk "normally" like a Saudi from the Holy City. And yes, you must sound like you come from Makkah, and not Qatif or Taif, or, hey, don't forget, you must sound Saudi, because Saudis are the only Arab-speaking people in the world...

I'm sorry for being a bit rude and sarcastic, but I hope you get my drift? ^^;

I think Fantina is adorable. She was so funny in the Japanese version. I thought it was amusing how she ran off to compete in Contests. xD

DON'T WORRY.

I'm sure I can handle TVTropes this time~~ I actually managed to read the whole article without clicking a link. :D

But yes, that article's certainly a good explanation for its use in television. ^^;

I don't really mind it in shows because hey, it CAN be funny, but I don't like that it convinces some people that all people of a certain nationality or ethnicity talk like that.

I wonder how the anime will explain the existences of Reshiram and Zerkom.
In my opinion, the seem to be the legendries of the internal combustion jet engine and the electric jet engine.

Considering this saga is based on the games Black and White and the games will explain what Reshiram's and Zekrom's roles are, it's safe to assume this subject will be explained in the Anime (results may vary though)

Most likely Best Wishes will have a loose interpretation on the plot for the Black and White games. Things won't go exactly in accord to the games.

Reshiram and Zekrom will be important legend-wise, but the anime won't go around focusing on them like the games. Maybe either of them or possibly both of them may be legendary pokemon Iris may see at the end of the first episode.

You might get an arc in the same way that the box legendaries of the RSE games and the DP games got.

That reminds me though, Do you think that either of the new characters will somehow encounter a legendary in the beginning saga?

Well we did see Reshiram flying into the sunset in the trailer, but that's not exactly a guarantee that it will appear in the first episode or if the new peeps will see the legends eye to eye.

i wouldn't be surprised if a character flew on one rather than just seeing one.

EDIT: reshiram for example.

EDIT II: what i just said is kind of confusing x_x. what i meant is rather than just seeing a legendary, the character could actually fly on it.

Iris does look better than I imagined her. And on a positive sign it really does seem like Brock is gone for real this time.

Here's hoping this trio actually has a good dynamic, unlike the DP trio.

I want to find the group funny.

You know this is all really exciting!

I feel more ready for Best Wishes than ever now. At first I was "meh" for Iris but now seeing how she ues her hair she is really awesome. Dento is pretty awesome because it looks formal just for the sake of looking formal and refined.

Right now this dynamic seems forced.

Why would a waiter be travelling with a "wild child?"

Like I said earlier, they're gonna clash. Remember, B&W deals with nature/rustic living vs technology/modern living. Iris (nature) & Dento (tech) will more than likely argue about which is best. We all saw how Iris carries her Kibago in her hair. That shows a more primitive style in Iris' case. As for Dento, he's got more sophistication & is probably used to an urban environment. Only question I can think of is how Ash is gonna fit into this.......

a
Maybe they will argue a lot, but their arguing will be balanced by another medium. This is supposed to have Yin and Yang symbolism, right? Iris is wild and travels with a Kibago, while Dent is a refined Pokemon Sommelier(?). At first sight, their traits contrast and conflict with each other, but think of Yin and Yang: there is Yin in Yang and Yang in Yin, which essentially means Yin and Yang are one and the same when it comes down to it. Like Yin and Yang being one and the same, Iris and Dent probably are as well. But how, you ask? Iris has a bond with Kibago, and being a wild child she probably has bonds with lots of wild Pokemon. Dent's job is to assess the compatability between Pokemon and their trainers(assuming), so they fit pretty good together if you think about it this way.

So... what's your opinion about Dento?

Like I said earlier, they're gonna clash. Remember, B&W deals with nature/rustic living vs technology/modern living. Iris (nature) & Dento (tech) will more than likely argue about which is best. We all saw how Iris carries her Kibago in her hair. That shows a more primitive style in Iris' case. As for Dento, he's got more sophistication & is probably used to an urban environment. Only question I can think of is how Ash is gonna fit into this.......

I said it before and I'll say it again
Iris = nature = Reshiram
Dento = technology = Zekrom
Ash = the third legendary and whatever it's symbolising
It'll be just like Ash/Azelf/Willpower, Dawn/Mesprit/Emotion, Brock/Uxie/Knowledge
Also notice how Reshiram is mascot of black and Iris has a dark skin while Zekrom is mascot of white and Dento has light skin... could be a coincidence, but I won't be surprised if that was intentual

I can read, write (but can't understand) Arabic.I know urdu, persian and hindi, other than Hindi, the other two are based on arabic.You can give me anything written in Arabic, i can read it(as long as they have 'aerab').

Also i don't believe that all french people talk like that, i was just asking why are they always portrayed with that accent.
I just hate how some countries portray Muslims, indians, french etc. with this weird accent, when at least the former two can speak as good as an American can.

That was really off-topic,so to stay on-topic, is it confirmed that BW is airing on 23rd september.
