>>35403424Yeah, they should have kept Barry as her childhood friend and made him her rival. They could have done the Ruby/Sapphire Adventures thing where they compete to see who got badges/ribbons faster. Kenny was so lame.
Another thing I found weird was how the two of them never met despite the fact their parents were such good friends? It seems like Barry was actually raised in Twinleaf Town and not just born there because Dawn remembers him singing at the festival when they were kids. The Pokemon anime has such shit writing.
