Barry and Bianca would overload on the hyper factor. I'm not sure if they (or the world) can handle that much sugar XD
Iris is starting to get irritating to me. Maybe it's her high-pitched, piercing voice compared to Ash and Cilan. Lyra didn't bother me for some reason, but whenever Iris starts complaining or whining it annoys the heck out of me.
It's strange...during her first episode, her voice sounded fine to me. I think that it has to do with the awkward pauses that the dubbers use in the phrasing. At least, that's my theory.
Plus, there's the issue that she hasn't exactly done a lot of productive things since she's been on the show...I'm still waiting for her Excadrill to pull its own weight here!
And speaking of pairing the spares, I find that really annoying, lol. Mainly because I think that if you do that, you're limiting yourself to what ships you can and can't support...it just seems so restricting and obligatory.
The most popular pair-the-spares group I see are Poke/Contest/Ikari (or Penguin)/Wishful. I've noticed that a lot of Pearl (especially) and Advance shippers are willing to multiship (with Dawn and May, respectively).
Is it because the nostalgia from the poke days are preventing certain fans from expanding their shipping horizons? I dunno...
Anyways, I still support Ash x Everyone, since that's usually how my shipping trends work out XD
