This is a lot to take in for one morning. o_o; But I can't say I'm left in disappointment.
First off, Iris is in the games, wow. When she was announced as an "anime-only" character, I didn't expect her to show up in the games at all. I guess GameFreak has a different meaning to "anime-only" than I do. I'm curious to what her role will be and who is that strange man who reminds me of Prof. Rowan standing next to her? I can only hope we at least get to battle her.
I don't think its been confirmed that Iris is Aloe's daughter. They just happen to look alike, but it's still possible.
Moving on, the battle scenes were hot! I mean literally. The battle between Reshiram and Zekrom was striking (I'm at loss for words right now). >_>; Still, I loved their battle scene, and when Reshiram moves, it also shows the fire coming through its tail. I can only expect the same effect to be done to Zekrom and his blue electrical tail.
Evolution has also changed as far as its animation goes. It looks like the Pokémon is taken into data and brought together again as a new Pokémon. Huh, that seems like a Digimon reference I used there. .-.
Anyway...I'm still in awe.
