    This news exsists me. I am really like the girl just by the picture, she looks like she will be a good main character. The guy looks like a green haired Barry, which is enough for me to jump for joy.

    I don't know about Iris, she seems very different than what we're used to. Crazier hair, darker skin, odder clothes. She looks more like a one-shot movie character than a regular cast member. She definitely looks spirtual/tribal like Golfkid said, but what we've seen of Isshu so far it lends itself to be more industrial and modern. The thing I'm most interested in is Dent definitely looks like he'll be doing the contests given the way he dresses, which would be a nice mix-up from the two previous girls. It makes me wonder what Isis' role will be.

    Iris looks awesome. I love her design. Even when I saw it a few days ago, I thought it was fine, but seeing that clip made me like her even more. At first, I thought her hair was blue, but now it looks more purple-ish. And she has what seems to be her starter, Kibago, jump into her hair right before she goes flying through the forest/jungle on a vine. I so approve of that. She definitely looks and acts differently from the past two main girls. In retrospect, I find it funny how so many people on another form thought that Iris would be ugly. She honestly looks nice, friendly, confident and overall cute. I think that she'll be a nice refreshing main girl on the cast. I already think she's awesome, so I hope that continues when Best Wishes gets dubbed.

    As for Reimu, I thought that he was kind of creepy when I first saw the artwork for him, especially with his small eyes. He seemed less creepy on the poster and during the trailer. I still don't like his design as much as Irish's, but he might grow on me. Despite his appearance, I still don't think that he'll be into Contests. Considering that they're aimed directly at girls, I'm not sure if they would use a male character for a girl-targeted form of battle. Plus, I'm not sure if he'll be in the main traveling group yet. He gives off a rival kind of vibe to me. I did think of the Music Show when I saw the image of him in the spotlight, so maybe it's a separate event from Contests. I'm not sure, especially since I can't see them getting rid of Contests after being so important for so long. I actually could see Iris going into Contests. Granted, she doesn't look girly, but I didn't think May was that girly and that was never really a requirement to be a Coordinator in either AG or DP anyway. Regardless, it should be interesting to see what they're roles in the series are.

    As for the starters, Pokabu and Mijumaru looked so cute, especially Mijumaru with its soft eyes and nice smile. I can definitely see Iris getting Pokabu more than Mijumaru at this point. While I can understand why Reimu could get Tsutaja, I would be surprised if Ash doesn't get one since he gets the Grass starter in every single generation this far. I wouldn't mind him not getting Tsutaja, especially if it would be the only way for him to get Mijumaru, but I just wouldn't expect it. I would love Ash to catch Mijumaru because I want him to have a fully evolved Water starter for once. Plus, it's so darn cute.

    I love the news about the new series and Iris has definitely left a great first impression on me. I really hope that I'll be able to like her this much during the series.

    I just can't believe Pokemon is going to have a darker-skinned female character as the ONLY female character for the next 200 episodes.

    Iris seems like someone you'd expect to be a recurring character or rival, but she's the main girl and she looks so unlike what we're used to.

    I wonder how the Japanese audience most of all will respond to Iris. How many darker-skinned anime protagonists actually are there in kids shows?

    That makes it sound like she'll be the only female character in the show...which she won't be.

    She'll be the lead female for two hundred or so episodes, though. Heck, her rivals might be inspired by southern Japanese too.

    Whoa, Iris is actually pretty cute. Normally, I just think they're kinda bland.

    She does remind me of Dora from Dora the Explorer, which is where I got the "ADVENTURE! *LAUGHS LIKE FLAPJACK*" vibe from her.

    While most of the areas they showed off are industrial, the map does seem to have ideas of a struggle between nature and industrialism. White Forest at least looks like it combined nature and industrial setting pretty well, and that wasteland underneath the city looks more nature about to be overtaken by industrialism.

    Honestly, I think she looks rather silly. Must be the wild hairdo.

    On the other hand, it's neat to see them finally branching out and including darker-skinned characters. With her and the new female gym leader, that makes two.

    It's kind of like ET, if you take out all of the emotion and turn it into a silly webcomic that's updated on Tuesdays and Thursdays

    Well James knows a thing about dark skinned people and particually dark skinned girls, he is best friends with one on another show, though this one is not going to turn into a cat I think.

    It only took them 13 years, but we're finally getting dark-skinned or black characters in Pokemon.

    Talk about being slow to racial diversity.

    After reading these comments, I just can't help but think of the two new characters as "Iris the Explorer," and "Dent Hakurei." Hiis Poke' Ball will look like the Yin-Yang Orb.

    Pokemon is crazy with hairstyles at times.

    I like the how the characters look, I think I'll really like Iris character. Its going to be intresting to see Ash interact with these new characters for the entire region without Brock. Every region Brock has joined Ash, well except the Orange Islands but after that. This will be the second time Brock won't be here and I say, its about time.

    Thanks to Serebii.net and Filb.de, we have a new character joining the series in a possible rival named Shooti. We're even missing out on some good Pokemon Best Wishes merchandise.

    They finally got rid of or redesigned Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny!

    Finally after 13 years, those two characters are gone and replaced with "updated" versions.

    I wonder if they did that cause Brock is gone.

    New Nurse and Cop are a welcome change, I guess they're also trying to rebirth the anime as well. Not a fan of the Cop so far, the but Nurse I do like. As for the Paul-like rival, he's looks OK.

    Its kind of funny, after finally replacing Brock every thing gets redone LOL. Maybe that's all the show really needed I like Nurse Joy's new look as well, but wow Jenny's hair cut bleh but I will probaly get used to it. I am intrested to see what Ash looks like in his new clothes, guess there really waiting till the last minute to show off Ash and Pikachu, just trying let the new characters get shown off first which is ok by me. I look forward to seeing a poster with Ash and the new characters on it though

    It's pretty obvious the nurse and cop are the same old Joy and Jenny. Still, it feels so weird seeing them with new outfits after over a decade of them wearing the same thing. Jenny's new outfit though...ick. Brown is so drab.

    Does this mean that all of the other Joys and Jennys that Ash has met over the years are now retconned to have that new look, as well?

    I doubt all of them will have a family reunion in an episode so I think it won't matter once the series arrives in September. The only problem we're going to have is the many, MANY fan art, both good and lewd, that will leak around online before and after Best Wishes debuts.

    It's not a retcon. Isshu is far from the other regions, therefore they have a different look. That or at this point in time they all looked like such.
