Iris Is Probably One Of The Best Developed Female Companions Ash Has Gotten In The Show.

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.”

“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.”

Oh, No No No, This simply won’t do, Groudon will probably try and kill me

I admit ContestShipping is pretty cute... But I dunno why, But I’ve also been more of a Negai Person.. that makes me weird, sure, Nevermind. Haters gonna hate

I don't know if somebody has already asked this before, but I'd really like to know if you have favourite ships in the Pokémon fandom.

Pokeshipping is my one and only. I will go down with this ship.

May & Drew are cute also but I’m not passionate about that one.

Photoshop is the biggest crime this century.

Also, why do Pinkie, AJ, RD, Rarity & Flutter’s look genuinely aged up while Twilight looks like celestia? Oh course Queen.

I am so glad I didn’t bother with Season Nine. Good god, that’s horrifying.

Also what’s with the cheap knockoff Honeycrisp?

And the Eusine shows up late.. as usual, too miss it :P

I just always thought that Suicune’s bouncing away from you was the most hilarious thing.
