>It’s almost like each Pokémon has their own personalities. Which is the lesson that she learned with Excadrill by episode 33, yet she still went through the exact same problem with Axew, Emolga, and Dragonite. Which means she didn’t apply what she learned with Excadrill at all, she forgot it by the time the episode ended.
>Iris actually workingThat’s the thing, she didn’t do any working. She had to be told by Georgia, Cynthia, Drayden, and fucking Meowth the same things multiple times. The lessons she learned would go one ear and out the other.
>Let’s not pretend Misty got this in-depth characterization I’m not pretending, I’m telling you the truth. Calling her a “Togepi taxi” is just being disingenuous to her character, showing that you actually don’t want to have a conversation in good faith.
>All very valid and different. Not really. The point is the Pokémon had different feelings and personalities and instead of taking note of that, Iris did the exact opposite. She quite literally disregarded their different personalities and got frustrated at the difficulties she was having.
>Iris never had an egoYou are quite literally lying.
>You guys really hate Iris for being confidentBut I don’t hate Iris. When did I say that?
>not going through some over used depression plot I would’ve rather she gone through an actual story arc instead of retreading the same disobedient Pokémon plot. Or even add anything to the actual narrative instead of, not.
>Iris didn’t even brag when she beat AshAnd?
>As it stands the writers gave Iris the best advancementAnd while I like her character in JN, there isn’t enough in the narrative to actually justify this, unlike with Misty. Her entire development got off-screened, unlike with Misty.
