I don't mind that actually. They are staying true to the game of gen 5. I think we'll see them again someday, just not now so don't worry. My beef is just with Ash and this alone turn's me off to the entire BW anime series. Sounds silly but I can't ignore it. Ash is a joke now. They should have ended his story years ago and send him off as a awesome and powerful trainer that AG and DP set him up to be. I mean how long are they going to show the same crap over and over again with Ash? Is he really that stupid that he has to take it in these little steps? I don't know people can stand BW Ash. I really can't. That's why I don't post in the anime section very often anymore. I think Cilan and Iris are both fine characters, but Ash needs to go! Either acknowledge the fact that he's a five year veteran trainer or get rid of him already! He should be a role model for trainers like Trip now, not be their punching bags. You see why I never post in the anime section anymore?
