Say what you will about BW, but Team Rocket was the best they ever were in the entire series. They might have been too serious for the Giovonni arc, but at least they could put up a fight. Even after the boss went back to Kanto they still managed to pull a nice blend of stupid yet competent.

>>21736027 You act like there was hope to begin with, man: having Natochenny, Cathcart, and Knotz in the dub to begin with means it's shit off the spot seeing as they are awful as Ash and Team Rocket, respectively.
Furthermore, Cathcart's script writing is cancerous and even I can write better scripts than that.
No amount of Japanese OST can save the shit the dub has become, honestly- it was nice to have in BW for a while, though, don't get me wrong.

>>21733126 First off, it actually has the same composer as it always had, so it's less stealing, and more of the man reusing his own work.
That said, I do honestly believe it's the best of TPCI's themes so far. That's actually quite telling of how awful their original works are. DP season 1 being the biggest offender and BW season 1 right behind it.
That said, I fear for when it's time to change themes. As much as I'd like a remix of "This Dream" cause muh Hoennwanking, it's probably gonna go back to BW tier junk

Also he did pretty much nothing because by the time he came back the tournament and gym stuff was over, so he was there for the Plasma showdown and the filler arc only before being sent to Oak's again.
And I guess the N stuff and Plasma stuff wasn't too bad. It wasn't really good either, but it wasn't actively offensive like most of BW.

Speaking of Ash's dub VA, she was fantastic as Skyla. I didn't even like Skyla until I heard that voice. I think those are the kinds of roles she should be doing, but she's probably locked into Ash via contract or some jazz.
Same deal with Shauna. Might be unfitting, but damn if it doesn't sound nice. I personally can't stand the nip voice for her either

>>21737552 They didn't even get to that season anyway. The problem was they took so long to get to the next season, Axess that by the time it was done the Battle Network games were released and they'd moved onto Starforce.
It didn't help that the following season was total ass even in Japanese. So was Starforce for that matter. The one in between them, Beast was actually good for the first half but in the second their showtime inexplicably got cut from a half hour to 15 minutes, leading to a fucking disaster.
So despite Axess ending on a blatant cliffhanger they jumped right to Starforce, which is like 200 years in the future.
But it's for the best because it should have ended at Axess anyway as the best season.
And of course the dub was horrendous. Worse than Pokemon.

>>21741935 That's what I'm expecting. The JPN version will probably have a smaller break for the holidays as well. I know there's a skip coming up cause Naruto.
I'll hand this to TPCI though. Managing to a deal to run almost 50 straight weekly, half hour episodes in THIS day and age is pretty boss. Especially given how CN likes to run their shows.
Power Rangers WISHES it had this luxury. At least then they wouldn't have to spread one Sentai over two years, or compress 100 episodes into 40

I know it's unpopular as fuck here, but I still think that Best Wishes has done some things better than the current XY series. For example, the chemistry of the Best Wishes is way better than the XY series And not because XY's chemistry was fabulous, but because XY's chemistry is horrible. About Iris, I don't think she was horrible as some of you think. The catchphrase stopped (with very few exceptions) very early in the series. Also, if you watched the majority of Best Wishes until the end of Episode N, I don't think Iris was a bad character at all (I actually think that she was better than Serena, at least). The only moment where I thought Iris was terribly written was in the Club Battle and in the Junior Cup. Nothing compared to the Unova league, which was an absolute disaster.

>>21743138 I never got the Iris hate, part of her journey was learning to lose her social awkwardness (compared to other trivial/lack of issues that other female leads had) and her return with Ash/Cilan to Opelucid city was supposed to mark her improvement from her kindergarten days of being ostracized.
That said, it wouldn't have hurt to portray anime Iris more similarly to BW Iris - a prodigy and Ash's equal or even superior in battle who could spar with him along their journey. It would have set up Iris to return eventually during the Kalos arc as BW2 Iris.
Perhaps after going through 2 contest-attending female companions they forgot how to write a female who could actually be useful in battle.

I don't think that iris was that terrible and I don't think that Iris was the main problem of Best Wishes. I think that the handling of Satoshi's team the pace of Best Wishes, The Isshu League, the Decolora arc and the departure of Iris and Dent were the main problems o Best Wishes. Unlike Best Wishes, I still think that Serena is the biggest problem of the XY series or at least it's my impression. I feel that right now they're trying to give to Serena in 15-20 episodes the development Serena should have gotten in 60-65 episodes. I hope that Serena: -Doesn't evolve Fokko until June/July. -Doesn't win her first TriPokalon. -The crush doesn't "magically" dissappear. -Serena having little to no chemistry with Satoshi in her episodes like in Xy47 and Xy50. And one less important: -Don't have to deal with "pure training" episodes. -Don'0t have Nene as her rival.

-I hope that Serena have great chemistry with Ash unlike the lack of chemistry that iu saw in episode 47 and episode 50.
