Would you like Brock to get replaced, rather than Dawn this time around?

I personally, think it would be good to get a new guy in there. (Maybe a Contest guy?)
 
If Brock is replaced, I want it to be by a guy who does something other than gym battling, coordinating, breeding, training water types, whatever Max did, and Pokemon Watching.
 
Not a bad idea at all. I love Dawn, and Brock as well, but having a male coordinator would be a nice change.
 
Male? Only if they were both Black and White and Leaf.

I would like if the Black had a counter personality to White.

I would like if he's feminine, would rather not battle, likes cooking and sewing likes contests or whatever the next gen has. She's a knuckleheaded tomboy who like Pokethelon's and/or battling.
 
Nah, Without Brock the Anime wouldn't be the same thats like Cereal without milk it just wouldn't work out. Plus Dawn's most likely going to leave May and Misty did so why should Dawn stick around? Another thing if Brock sticks around Croagunk would most likely stay and the frog's marketable, but another male traveling companion that did contest wont happen its a good idea but nah.
 
^ Piplup's marketable and Dawn's very likely to go. It's also very likely Piplup will be replaced by a new marketing Pokemon. (I don't see why they wouldn't.)

If Brock were to leave, his replacement would have a new marketable Pokemon.

They did it before. The Orange Islands is one of my favorite arcs, because Tracey was so funny and different.

Misty stayed on for 2 Gens, I dont see why Dawn coudln't.
 
Why do people keep saying that? We know good and well why Misty was there in Johto, and why the same thing wouldn't happen now.

I see no reason why we can't have the same girl for 2 Gens again.

More importantly, I dont see why people seem to think that we can't replace Brock again.

Because Dawn and her Piplup do not advertise Gen V, and from the look of things she might win the Grand Festival, meaning she's being wrapped up.

As for Misty, "staying for 2 gens," what point are you trying to make? Who was supposed to replace Misty at the start of Johto?

Crystal, of course. She was the playable female character for Gen2. GameFreak already had her planned when Gold and Silver came out, they just waited to include her in Crystal to make that game marketable.

And obviously Black-Kun (Or whoever the male travel buddy to replace Brock is) would advertise GenV.

And why would she have been on the show when she didn't exist in the games at that time, thus kids/people at the time not knowing who she was?

There was also no secondary sidequest at the time, so there was nothing for a new female to do anyway.

Sort of like how Misty did nothing in Gen 2?

She would have been on the show to advertise for Gen2. We didn't get a new character for Gen2 at all. It was kind of weird.

Misty could have been replace after the Orange islands, but wasn't. So it's not unheard of for a girl to stay on for more than 1 gen.

There's no reason that Dawn can't stay and have Brock be replaced.

Crystal version did not come out till Johto was halfway over. They would not include a new female on the show before her game came out.

Likewise Misty would have had an extremely short run if she were only there for Kanto/Orange, as that only added up to about 120 or so eps or whatever it was.

There's no reason that Dawn can't stay and have Brock be replaced.

Both being replaced would be a change of pace, but the only one for certain is Dawn.

Wow. I'm so impressed that you can read the minds of the anime directors. It's impressive. Tell me, are you in direct contact with them, or do you have ESP?

Yes, Misty would have had a short run. That's probably why they kept her. No one was really tired of her yet. But she ended up having 5 seasons. (May got 4, Dawn has had 3)

But people are tired of Brock now.

Now, do we have any actually confirmation that Dawn is leaving? Any sources for this claim?
 
Absolutely not! Brock is just way too cool to replace! I don't see why they don't just have 4 people (Ash Brock Gen V girl Gen V boy/other person) They did it in AG, why not now?

They certainly could. I wouldn't be opposed to that.

Though I'm honestly rather tired of Brock. 12 seasons of the same jokes. Ugh.

May and Dawn have/will be on the show for roughly exactly the same time, 4 years and 192 episodes, assuming DP ends in September.

But people are tired of Brock now.

I said I'm fine with Brock leaving.

Yes. The adverts airing in Japan say its the end of the DP trio traveling together.

Dawn also possibly winning the GF makes it obvious she's leaving.

If Brock left then the DP trio WOULD be done traveling together. That says nothing about Dawn specifically leaving.
Why would winning the GF make Dawn leave?

Why would they have her win the GF on her first region if they intended to develop her further? They'd have her lose so she can be developed in a second arc.

Why would Dawn and her Piplup advertise Gen V, when the BW anime is going to be another reboot?
