Do you think Iris champion status ensures more appearances from her

[AshxSatoshi]

Champion from other series have made appearances outside of there original series before think of Lance in Journeys, Cynthia in BW, Wallace in DP and Steven in XY. Does Iris’ new found champion status ensure that she possibly might appear in other series later?

 

[Pokegirl Fan~]

Maybe but I doubt it knowing this anime.

 

[RafaSceptile]

Sadly nope. I don't think she will appear again except maybe as a briefly cameo.

But I want her to reappear again because she was very underappreciated back in the BW days, and Journeys at least made some justice for her character.

 

[SerGoldenhandtheJust]

I'm still sure she will appear in the end in master class

 

[Sham]

Probably. Definitely when the BW remakes come since she serves as a cameo from a past companion, a representation of BWBW2 and is currently the Champion. Best girl will have more appearances. I mean people were doubting she'd ever become the champion or appear post BW so you never know.

 

[Red and Blue]

Its not a guarantee that she'll make it into the Master Class but I could see a few more appearances from her. Maybe they could show her watching Ash and Leon's battle along with other past companions.

 

[lolipiece]

Iris lost. She served her purpose and has no reason to come back outside of a cameo.

 

[JustAStatistic]

She told Ash to wait for her in the Ultra Class, so I'm hoping she returns. Best case would be a full battle between the Champion of Unova and the Champion of Alola, but I wouldn't be surprised if she comes back to lose to prop up Bea or Raihan.

 

[Dragonsoldier77]

I doubt she will come back for any important role this series. She already lost to ash with her aces, no point in bringing her back just to make her lose again. For a cameo or just minor appearance? Maybe.

I also doubt her champion status will do much in getting her more appearances in future series. Considering how the champion title itself was presented almost as an afterthought with her, i don’t really see her making appearances as a result of some ‘champion duties’.

 

[HatersGonnaHate]

She’s literally still competing in the PWC and told Ash to wait for her while she makes into the hyper class. The show is telling you what you need to know but y’all have created your own narratives based on nothing.

I think her champion status guarantees her a spot in the Masters 8 and that’s why they made her champion in the first place so she would fit in that group. Otherwise why do it? Ash beating regular trainer Iris and getting into the hyper class gives you the exact same result.

Also, a lot of you are under the impression that her returning can only be linked to battling Ash again when that isn’t the case. Cynthia and Raihan are right there for her to battle.

 

[lolipiece]

Yeah, because Ash has never promised to battle people we never saw again before. Also, why do people want her in the Masters 8 when all she'd do is get beaten. People are already mad she lost the first time.

 

[Kazuniya]

Considering she's an expensive voice actress, no. It's bad enough they couldn't afford her for a two-parter.

 

[MartínK]

It's Journeys, so no, we are not going to see her again, only a cameo or a flashback.

Because it will acknowledge her strength as one of the top 8 trainers of the world

I don't want to see Iris comeback just to lose again, would've been great if she beat other powerful trainer on screen for her growth to become dragon master, maybe Lance or Drake who is also dragon trainers than I would be fine if she lost to Ash again

I mean we can have her back, have her defeat Lance in round 1 and lose to Leon in round 2, thats fair, gives purpose to her and is a good way to show shes a top trainer

As much as I would love for her to beat Lance, I highly doubt she's going to be allowed to beat Raihan.

 

[AznKei]

No, and in the games she looks like a commoner that you sometimes encounter unlike the likes of Cynthia & Diantha that screams champions, higher statuses or carry lots of responsibities when you see them.

 

[HatersGonnaHate]

This is different. She’s STILL competing in the PWC and who says she has to face Ash again? She can easily get 1 win and 1 loss in the Masters 8.

A lot of people want to see iris in a full 6on6 battle.

Considering she's an expensive voice actress, no. It's bad enough they couldn't afford her for a two-parter.

This a moot point when the voice actress wants to come back. She said she wants Iris to meet Chloe.

Brock and Misty also had spaced out returns in Alola.

 

[HatersGonnaHate]

She’s voiced more than just Iris on Pokémon. She loves the show. She wanted more than one episode in her interview. She wants Iris to meet Chloe. Some of y’all don’t know what you’re talking about.
