It would be a good idea to see Cynthia vs Tobias and it makes perfect sense as Tobias was potentially on his way to face her. But speaking of our fan-favorite Champion I hope her fans are prepared to see her lose that unbeatable diva trainer status on Journeys, unless the writers decide to undo Leon's "undefeated" title (I mean she will probably be Masters Eight right?).Unless they bring him back and have Cynthia beat his ass 1 on 6, not interested lol.
I think you nailed with just one sentence why Dawn's comeback apparently isn't generating as much debate and commentary as the Iris episode, and why the pacing on EP74 seems kind of slow (to me it was fine) with little interesting information. The Iris occasion seemed more interesting because it was directly related to PWC and the progress of her character. Plus Dawn hasn't met Ash yet.Happy to see that Dawn is consistent... with its version of the Black & White series. Because in the Black & White series, she had so regressed to the point where I can not imagine this girl doing all alone, here it's the same. I complain about the fans of the character, and I more and more afraid of a masacre of May if she returns (compromise, because her seiyu retired, but I will be depressed if we do not make reference to my favorite Maingirl). I have the impression that it will be the opposite of Iris : for Iris there is a lot to say, but we do that only one episode, and for Dawn, there is little to say, but It will take 2 episodes.
I just noticed that there were new tracks in this episode, or at least I've never heard them before, one when Koharu was cooking and one at the end, both were really good.You perfectly encapsulated my thoughts with this! All the people saying they wasted time with Chloe in the beginning rub me off the wrong way, the time we got was needed imo to show her in the journey imo and fits her character, plus I like the parallel they did with Dawn! Just seeing that journey of her as we get the buildup to Dawn while Ash and Goh chase after Darkrai was perfect pacing! There could be a problem that next week's episode is a episode that would be better split in two, but this episode pacing was perfect. And CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC here? It was amazing!
