I think Joltik-Kid had a problem with your characterization of Iris and how important you think she is to the anime.
The thing is though, I never stated anything about how important Iris is to the anime. What I stated was how important I personally thought she was to the BW trio, which should be something that I'm allowed to state, right? Will every post I write require me to state ''IMO''?
Iris has only existed in 5th gen anime, and the Pokemon anime has been doing just fine since it had been without Iris. And will continue to just fine in future generations without Iris.
I don't think I've said anything different. You're misunderstanding. I've never said that the animé would fail without having Iris on the main cast, what I said is how the trio dynamics were going to fail miserably without Iris in it. Of course, it is my opinion. I really have no idea why you suddenly brought up the animé in general into the discussion, considering that I was clearly not implying to that.
Iris is not the be all character in the Pokemon anime.
Which I clearly didn't state either. You're exaggerating big time, and you're making me doubt that you read my post in the first place.
You may not have found Ash, Cilan, Dawn to be "humorous" at all but why you would think they would be in the position to be "funny." Their scenes were meant to be serious because they were in a serious situation.
May I ask you were I stated that the trio was going to be funny in the first place? I can't remember, considering that I don't think I did it in the first place. What I stated was that they were boring, and what way you're interpreting that clearly isn't my fault. You could replace the word ''boring'' for uninteresting, would it make more sense for you then? Personally I've always felt that in the BW trio, once all of them were doing a task similiar to this, they all contributed in their own unique way (like Iris climbing in trees, for an example). In this scene, however, they were merely talking and being straight out dull, not to mention that I personally only felt like Cilan and Ash were leading the ''search'' together, with Dawn being excluded. That's my opinion.
Plus this was focused solely on Iris and her new Dragonite. There have been episodes where Iris didn't do anything, and the episode was just fine.
What has that to with anything? You clearly misunderstood my statement. What I meant was how I personally considered her to be vital to the BW trio, not the anime.
That's the problem with your statement, it really had nothing to do with you not finding the trio funny. But that you think the Pokemon anime apparently can't exist without Iris or maybe even to a less harsh degree, the chemistry amongst the group.
Read the above.
