As far as major companion returns go:
>Brock
Great to see him as a doctor, fantastic to see him fight using Blissey, I wish he could have showed up under calmer circumstances to show off his character more, but the 11 episode finale will fix that. I also think the flying car is a major jump-the-shark moment for the entire series.
>Dawn
Appeared a lot, looked good, but showed no progress on her goals. That's.. fine, since she has her whole life ahead of her, but if you're a Dawn fan it's disappointing to see her achieve nothing despite getting 12 fucking episodes to appear in.
>Iris
Got dumpstered in both of her fights, but still showed great progress, had an amazing design overhaul, and had great interactions with Ash AND Goh while playing a real role in the story. Probably the best companion return.
>Clemont
Seems happy, looked nice, and played a role in helping Dracovish and Sirfetch'd, I just don't think he deserved to get one-shotted in his battle against Ash. He's a great character that too often falls victim to how fucking epic Ash is supposed to be.
>Serena
I'm not such a big fan of hers, but I still wish that she got a better episode for the sake of her fans. Babysitting Koharu and then talking to Ash for 30 seconds does not make for a great showing at all. It's cool to see Braixen evolved, but other than that, it feels like she got shafted very badly.
>Lillie
Amazing one-off episode, one of PM's best. I'm a Lillie hater but only a fucking idiot wouldn't like her episode. Otherwise she was unimportant, but it was nice to see just how much they improved her design.
