Dawn's cameo in BW was fun and better than I'd expected. I'm glad she got her spotlight to show of a dynamic with the new characters and Cynthia, even if the Junior Cup was far weaker than the Don George tournaments. I get why her fans are disappointed in what seems like a lack of development. Unlike Misty and May, she didn't get any sort of wardrobe upgrade, or even a new 'mon like Misty's Gyarados or May's evolved Venasaur/Glaceon. It's a shame they blew her getting her Platinum outfit mid-DP.
Trip is bewildering. He started out as an asshole with a camera who beat Ash occasionally, and then went about fifty episodes unable to win anything. Now he's defeated everyone without getting hit, only to job hard to Alder. What mysterious Ultra Divine Water did he drink off camera to completely reverse his fortunes, and now that he's faced Alder, what exactly is his purpose, other than to be the guy that Ash has to beat at the League to complete his pseudo-arc before losing?
