Well, Thats A Really Different Idea To Mine. I Always Thought They Did After The Backlash Iris Got.

Well, That’s a really different idea to mine. I always thought they did after the backlash Iris got. 

Remembering back, you said that Dawn was really popular in Japan, and considering her personality was very girly, it’s significant. However, going over to Iris, who was really badly received, even causing some fans to drop out, and that leading to loads of the Best Wishes writers to get fired, it may have made them fear making a character similar may have the same effect, so being in a character with Dawn’s personality to a bit more of an extreme. That’s just me though :P

Hi Tamashi. I know you don't like Serena (Anime) at all, but if you had to guess one reason why she was created the way she was? I've got my own idea, But I'm wondering what yours would be. Thanks :)

Because they needed a character to showcase the fashion aspect of X and Y. Pokemon is a giant commercial after all. Also they were too lazy to create a character so they made her romantically attracted to Ash and substituted that for character development. Serena is lazy and contrived through and through.

I agree! I always thought the Delta Episode was missing something.. hopefully it gets explained in the next Pokemon Game.

I’ve always loved the ending the the Looker Story in X/Y

Hi Tamashi! Between the Looker Post Game Side Story in X/Y and the Delta Episode, which one would you say you prefer writing wise? :)

Looker post game, though it doesn’t help that the Delta Episode is an incomplete story.

“Best Wishes was a breath of fresh air. At least, it felt that way in the beginning. It was like the series was trying to tell an interesting narrative, with characters each having more depth to them than they appeared, but now they’re just reverting back to the old character/event of the day style that made other seasons of the anime unappealing to me. They tried to develop the characters’ personalities, but they didn’t really go anywhere with it.”

Yeah, I can see why the AshXFemale Companion Ships (Advance/Pearl/(Negai)/Amour), and RocketShipping would need their own videos, considering how long many episodes they have had of interactions. I assume the rival ships could fit in one video, only because rivals don’t appear as much as the others, but fitting all of those in one video would be hard, considering there’s loads that goes into each ship

Hi Tamashi! In Your PokeShipping video, you said how you were originally going to cover a whole spectrum of ships, but you found so much for one it took up an entire video. I'm just wondering which other ships you were planning to include before having to cut them out. Thanks :)

Most of the main popular ones (Ash + Female Companion), Rocket Shipping, and some Ash + Rival ships. But it seems like most will need their own video

My eyes feel like waterfalls right now...

Cheer up little guy...

Your breaking my heart ;_;

Iris is probably one of the best developed female companions Ash has gotten in the show.

Misty & Dawn feel inferior. Misty became a tiny bit more motherly, but never grew in skill, and remained extremely static. Dawn is similar. She became a tiny bit more mature and creative, but also didn’t change much.

May is probably the most developed, though if it was well handled is up for debate. It started off really slow, and once it happened, it flashed by. From there pretty much all her development was in Contest Episodes (She’s a Coordinator, yeah, but you need to too be better spread.) She also had no transition into wanting to find a goal. She just kind of stumbled across and contest and said “Hey! I want to be a Coordinator”. I still like her (More than Misty & Dawn in fact), but her development was kinda eh. Nice, but needed more

Serena is also debatable. Her development is a copy-paste for May’s, and starts slow and remains slow, but I feel it was handled better. With Serena questioning herself, then finding out about Showcases, watching one, setting her goal (catching her first Pokemon at the same time), entering her first but failing, allowed us too see her progression from The girl with a crush on Ash, into someone who wanted to take themselves seriously. Then when she won is was satisfying to how far she’s come. XY isn’t over yet, so she’s not done yet.

We get too see Iris’s progress more viably than other girls, going from a Bossy/Vain character with a team full of derps, into an appointed Gym Leader with a Team all suited for battle, let us see her growth more than most other girls 

“I think Iris is an amazing character. She and Ash have amazing development together, and she plays a cute, funny, supportive role.”
