I'm glad they removed the apron though.

Look at Lyra, Dawn, Misty. Brock, and basically every other game character that has a counterpart from the games.

I really don't recall Misty and Brock looking like their game counterparts. Especially way back in RBY.

Brock would have been entirely shirtless and Misty would be wearing a two-piece bathing suit. All the time.

Ah..No. He lost all of his bishie cuteness.

I'm not impressed with his anime deisng honestly; It would have worked if he were anime only however..
The anime usually is spot on with game character designs. Look at Lyra, Dawn, Misty. Brock, and basically every other game character that has a counterpart from the games. Plus where's his adorable apron?

To add to what PDL said, a lot of Pokemon themselves have their colouring slightly off in the anime (though they usually look better imo), Dawn's hair is portrayed to be more blue than her artwork (but just as blue as her sprite) and Volkner's hair is less bright in the anime. Kellyn in the ranger games was aged up and barely any of the Kanto leaders looked like their original game artwork, they were about as similar as Dento is.

Design wise they look very similar, but not in clothing.

..
Who's talking about his skin tone? His coloring isn't the same but that's expected. I'm talking about his design.

This Dento guy looks like a freaking girl.

I guess him and Iris or what ever her name is can share makeup tips, lol.

Dento didn't really look that great in that one pic, but he looks pretty cool in motion in the anime imo.

Same goes for Iris as well so I'm not worried about their designs too much.

But since Dento is from the games, I wonder if that would influence what pokemon he has in the anime (assuming Dento does have pokemon in the games). If he does, I could see Dento use his signature pokemon in the anime. Whoever that is, I can't wait to see.

Oh, and I wonder that since Dento and Iris are new characters that are traveling with Ash, would both have their own theme songs. Usually the heroine has a theme song but considering Dento is an in-game character joining Ash, could he possibly get one? If both get theme songs, I hope they're awesome, I've liked both May's and Dawn's theme songs.

Oh wow! That'd be awesome! I hope that the first one they play as an ending song will be Dento's XD...whatever that may sound like...

I don't mind Sugimori's original design for the character at all, though contrary to popular opinion, I do prefer his appearence in the show. I think those eyes give him just a smidge more character and help him stand out from a large crowd of, lets face it (ha!), very samey mugs a little better.
And they certainly make the guy look sly/uppity enough to own a Tsutarja, if you're into that pokemon and trainer parallel thing :p

Do you guys think it's still possible for Dento to become the coordinator-person of the group. Also, playing on the theory that we meet him when he works in a restaurant maybe Pikachu could fry his bike as well as he's going to work because that would be pretty funny.

No more Coordinators, no more Contests, please.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Contests must stay!!! If they switch to musicals and their are no more contest battles, I would be very sad. :'-(

Considering Iris and Dento are joining Ash and considering GF decides to make RSE remakes, maybe for the anime they could go back to Hoenn after Isshu. Ash could do the battle frontier, Iris could do gym battles, and they could bring back contests after a region without them for Dento. Just an idea.

Since they didn't travel to Johto for HGSS, even if there are R/S remakes its likely Hoenn won't be revisited either.

They probably only re-visited Kanto because its Ash's home region. I knew he would never revisit Johto from the start and Hoenn won't be revisited either.

I doubt we'd see Ash go back to Hoenn too. It was already done well once, and I feel that for the most part, we've seen all we need to see of Hoenn.

I do wonder though if Best Wishes will be a one region only, or will it have a filler saga attached to it like Kanto had with OI and Hoenn had with BF. There's nothing in the games so far that suggest something to make Ash take on another quest after the league.

I sorta hope we do see something like that. I mean it's nice to see the development of Ash's pokemon post-league. Somehow, it just feels more complete than just ending in a league imo.

No one was talking about skin tone, you're the one who brought it up in this post. Though since you mention it, he's paler in his game art than in the anime, perhaps they thought he didn't have the white part of his eyes.

Dento's design is much closer to its original than Misty, or Brock or a good number of the Kanto gym leaders.

Perhaps its because Sugimori's style got better while the anime didn't. Let's just hope its a case of bad animators with that character design and he'll look better.

OMG, yes!! Dento having his bike fried would be genius XD
Anyway, I'm still holding onto the hope that he's a coordinator.
