I Freaking Love This. Iris is One of My Favorite Characters in Pokemon, And Is The Best Developed Character in Best Wishes  

Iris is Great.

Iris is probably one of the best developed female companions Ash has gotten in the show.

Misty & Dawn feel inferior. Misty became a tiny bit more motherly, but never grew in skill, and remained extremely static. Dawn is similar. She became a tiny bit more mature and creative, but also didn’t change much.

May is probably the most developed, though if it was well handled is up for debate. It started off really slow, and once it happened, it flashed by. From there pretty much all her development was in Contest Episodes (She’s a Coordinator, yeah, but you need to too be better spread.) She also had no transition into wanting to find a goal. She just kind of stumbled across and contest and said “Hey! I want to be a Coordinator”. I still like her (More than Misty & Dawn in fact), but her development was kinda eh. Nice, but needed more

Serena is also debatable. Her development is a copy-paste for May’s, and starts slow and remains slow, but I feel it was handled better. With Serena questioning herself, then finding out about Showcases, watching one, setting her goal (catching her first Pokemon at the same time), entering her first but failing, allowed us too see her progression from The girl with a crush on Ash, into someone who wanted to take themselves seriously. Then when she won is was satisfying to how far she’s come. XY isn’t over yet, so she’s not done yet.

We get too see Iris’s progress more viably than other girls, going from a Bossy/Vain character with a team full of derps, into an appointed Gym Leader with a Team all suited for battle, let us see her growth more than most other girls 

“I think Iris is an amazing character. She and Ash have amazing development together, and she plays a cute, funny, supportive role.”

Yeah, I can see why the AshXFemale Companion Ships (Advance/Pearl/(Negai)/Amour), and RocketShipping would need their own videos, considering how long many episodes they have had of interactions. I assume the rival ships could fit in one video, only because rivals don’t appear as much as the others, but fitting all of those in one video would be hard, considering there’s loads that goes into each ship

Hi Tamashi! In Your PokeShipping video, you said how you were originally going to cover a whole spectrum of ships, but you found so much for one it took up an entire video. I'm just wondering which other ships you were planning to include before having to cut them out. Thanks :)

Most of the main popular ones (Ash + Female Companion), Rocket Shipping, and some Ash + Rival ships. But it seems like most will need their own video

My eyes feel like waterfalls right now...

Cheer up little guy...

Your breaking my heart ;_;

Photoshop is the biggest crime this century.

Also, why do Pinkie, AJ, RD, Rarity & Flutter’s look genuinely aged up while Twilight looks like celestia? Oh course Queen.

I am so glad I didn’t bother with Season Nine. Good god, that’s horrifying.

Also what’s with the cheap knockoff Honeycrisp?

I honestly agree. I gave Dawn a few chances before I gave up. She’s not an awful character, I actually didn’t mind her in DP’s first 27 Episodes, but it ends up screwing over after that. She just became a Stale Ash/May Hybrid. I think Diamond & Pearl’s Anime Screwed Up a lot when it came to developing the characters, and Dawn is a good example

“I’ve tried to warm up to Dawn, but she ended up being my least favorite character. I watched the episodes, attempted to ship her with tons of characters, and watched AMVs, but the more I watched her arc, the more I came to dislike her. I couldn’t get into her story since we already had May become a coordinator. I couldn’t relate to her at all. I want to feel bad for disliking her, but I feel justified since I gave her a chance unlike others who automatically hate. She just didn’t appeal to me.”
