I agree; Brock was an awesome character. We got Bonnie, but it isn't good enough.Brock. Cilan is an awful replacement for Brock :c.. We need that funny "lady killer" back!

Yes she may not return as a Main Character because she's running a GymI made a mistake when I said this, but it is common misconception that Misty will never return. In an interview, Masamitsu Hidaka (former director and storyboard artist for the anime) said that Misty will not be returning as a main character, but may appear as a guest character as she has in the past. (Emphasis on "may". She might reappear, she might not. We'll just have to hope that she does return.)
Serena may be the one who took long to catches a Pokemon but it's all cute and the X and Y Series haven't ended yet, have it?In Iris's defense she isn't the only character to have a chance at a Pokemon and basically not have it happen, as with Deino. Anyone else remember May bonding with a Swablu, it coming so close to joining her team and their journey only for the Swablu's family to show up at the end and May let it go with them instead? How many times has Brock given up his own powerful Pokemon to be used at his former gym? That isn't the characters fault technically, that was the writers fault, just as the stupid things Ash does, the obsessive flirting Brock did, and the "little kid" line that Iris used...it really all goes back to the writers being at fault and not the characters.
Another thing that is the writers fault. The fact that (excluding the first BW movie) Iris and Co. never ran into Zekrom or tracked it down. The fact that Axew never evolved was also the writer's fault. Heck, I think the writer's fudged up more than just with Iris's Axew for that matter. I mean most of Ash's main team never evolved, just the secondaries Krookodile and Leavanny, and even Boldore and Palpitoad never followed in that vein. Also the fact that dragon Pokemon are shrouded in mystery...also the writer's fault. But that is something that falls slowly everyday, from Iris having her three dragons (even though two of them are unevolved) to Ash's two dragon Pokemon (only one of which is unevolved). I suspect that is because of the intro of fairies myself.
Well I don't agree that Misty accomplished much more with Ash, but I guess to each their own.
I mean I agree with the contest thing though. I know it was integral in those generations but it wasn't vital to Pokemon over all. I never participated in contests in my entire playing time. The one good thing about those though was it gave Dawn and May some use in the anime. I mean, Iris never really had much of a goal, nor did Misty. They both wanted to be their chosen type of Pokemom master and really both of them fell short of it. Brock and Cilan accomplished even less.
My comparison between Cilan/Iris and Clemont/Serena goes back to the Pokemon they have...or haven't really...caught. Brock/May at least had quiet a bit under their belts, as did Dawn. Serena has the dubious distinction of being the trainer who took the longest to catch even one Pokemon.
Really the truth is any fault anyone can find in the characters really goes back to the writers. I think one thing we can all agree on is that if we were writing the anime we'd all of done different things.
Well everyone has their opinion of mega evolution. I myself am okay with it but I'm not jumping for joy over it either. But between XY and ORAS...not to mention at least two anime spinoff shows devoted to mega evolution, I think it's safe to assume it's here to stay. Those who don't like it will have to either get used to it or not. But honestly can anyone else come up with another reason to bring back any of these characters, let alone all of them? The only thing I can think of for Misty/Dawn is going back to the Mirage Kingdom, and it's only relevant for the latter because she has a Togekiss. Or maybe Dawn could run across May in the Hoenn region but what would be the point behind it?
May's pretty cool. I wouldn't mind a bit if she came back.Bring back May! Literally the best poke girl to exist or ever will exist!
I feel like I'm in the underdog class here, but I really want to see Cilan return. I liked him.
In addition, I'd love to see Max reappear, finally old enough to be a Trainer, and his partner is that Ralts he promised to return to!~
