Why were these two Gym Leaders, that a large percentage of players would never encounter in the Black and White game, chosen as the traveling companions?
>>59276083Since everything in Unova was a parallel to Kanto, in this case they wanted to replicate the dynamic of Ash with Brock and Misty.
>>59276083Cilan is always the guy you first talk to out of the siblings, so you do encounter him.Iris always encounters you in Castelia and shows up later to teach you Draco Meteor in the game she isn't the leader in.What exactly is your point?
>>59276083because most of the other options would feel even weirder as ash's companions
>>59276247In that case, why not use the main female character, Hilda, like they did with Dawn and May?And regarding her age, adapt it to Ash's age, like they did in Kalos and Alola.
>>59276286Too lewd for a kodomo anime. Please understand.
>>59276083parallel to Brock and Misty
because she fucking won
>>59276286>>59276111>>59276490
>>59276561>no bikini scene like with mistyWorst thing about woke, we get more brown girls but no brown loli hebe fanservice
>>59276083Cilan is a chef so they took the opportunity to make cooking jokes in every episode like with Brock.>>59276926Hilda looks tomboyish enough to be a Misty expy
>>59276083Just to make Brook and Misty 2.0
>>59276083We needed a Black and a White for the Black and White anime
>>59276286It’s good she wasn’t shit up with Ash.
>>59276286Because they decided to give Ash all of the Unova starters. Also, Hilda doesn’t look girly enough for the “contest” equivalent of the region.
>>59276286Her game design looks too old, and they probably didn't think of the idea of just deaging it until gen 6.
>>59276286Thank the God almighty Hilda and Rosa was spared from the Ashime and Ash self-inserts
>>59276083Why didn't they just give the anime a new protag (with a pikachu) for Unova?
>>59279404Same for Gloria
