oh. well honestly I only watch the DP series, though I have watched the original series back then. but ever since Dawn came, and DP began Pokemon was so darn better. that I don't bother watching ANY other series. and for May, Misty, Iris, they're lame. I used to like may a lot, but now I hate her so much cause I heard she was surprisingly a tomboy. since Dawn is girly, nice, and mature, I love her very much. I adore her character. Dawn and the DP series rules!
