How do you even dare to compare it to Johto? XDAt least it's better than Johto so far, comparing the first 28 eps of each.

Why not if it makes the show more interesting and helps establish the pokémon's personalities?
A storyline can be something small, an obstacle to overcome. Like say when Grotle had to adapt to its loss of speed after evolution or Gible mastering Draco Meteor. While Mijumaru has problems with Aqua Jet, but do we see it working on it? No. If we saw Mijumaru work on it with Ash, care more about getting better at battling, then it would make me care more about him and would make his future battles and victories more meaningful, have more substance.
My point is that this article is full of shit. I did compare these first 28 eps to previous sagas and we're already better off than DP was at this point.Lol, why so angry?
You can still compare the first 28 eps here to the first 28 eps of any other saga.
This Post is in the Top Percentage of Post. Nice job on your argument it really is a nice reply.This article is ridiculous! You do realize Hellion, that there's only been 28 Episodes of Black and White?
How much personality do you remember Ash's team having at the beginning of DP; Turtwig had an oral fixation and that's about it really.
Aipom liked to steal Ash's hat and so did a billion other Pokemon. Starly was almost non-existent at the beginning of the series; the same thing with every other single regional bird Ash has ever owned.
You tried to make Noctowl sound like this amazing fighter but honestly I think the only real battle Noctowl ever had (before the Sinnoh league) was the Ecruteak gym, aside from that Noctowl was just used whenever Ash needed to pop a balloon. If memory serves Staravia got shafted too, it didn't even learn Brave Bird until DP68.
As for the personalities of the rest of Ash's team, you seem to be forgetting his Sociopathic Scraggy & a Swadloon who hates Ash's guts. That's pretty good considering we're only 28 episodes in. Give the writers some time to introduce a plot-line to the rest of Ash's Pokemon.
Your reservations regarding Trip are equally as moronic. You seem to think that unless a trainer acts like the Mom from "a Child Called "It"' they aren't a worthy rival.
Ash and Trip clash because of their backgrounds. It hasn't been stated, but one can infer based on trip's clothes, demeanor and a top of the line camera that trip comes from a least a somewhat wealthy background; the kind of upbringing that makes Ash look insignificant compared to him, something Trip never wants to let Ash forget. In that regard I see Ash & Trip's rivalry as a struggle of class differences. Trip needs to be taken down a peg and realize that he can't be as prejudiced as he is now if he ever expects to succeed as a trainer; underestimation can be one of your biggest hindrances in a fight.
What I thought was really stupid was when you degraded the writers for giving Ash and trip town the same evolution family. Do Torterra and Gliscor ring a bell for you?
My point is that it's still way too early to be forming opinions about BW yet. The series is just starting to get it's legs. God forbid the writers don't already have established plot-lines for Ash's individual Pokemon upon their debut. Just remember that at 28 episodes Ash didn't even own Chimchar or Buizel.
I'd try to counter-argue the rest of your article, but I couldn't actually stomach reading it any further.

And 28 eps into DP, both Dawn and Paul were better developed characters than Iris or Trip so far.

Hikari did contest Iris doesn't there's a difference between development and new sparkly coordinator stuff.
I don't call being a jerk plot development at all.
the arguments are too vicious and there is way too much ad hominem.
What's your point? Hikari was a newbie Iris has shown she knows how to catch Pokemon. Yeah and Iris was helping teach Kibago how to battle in episode 9. Again what's your point. I still don't see your point? She had little confidence about herself and lost contest after contest. Which lead to many contest wins with the help of Nozomi. You seem to be ignoring that BW aint even that far along. Have some patience once in a while, being Bias against Iris all over the forum isn't cool at all. When you write an Article your suppose to eliminate Bias not throw it in there.You're right, there is difference between developpement and contests. In the first 14 episodes, Dawn had already improved as a trainer (learning how to capture pokémon), had also started training as a coordinator (shown Piplup how to use contest moves in DP007) and we even saw glimpses of her lack of confidence in herself and her inferiority complex towards her mother in the Jubilife contest. Those confidence issues were followed up in the Pachirisu capture episode and led to Dawn's storyline of getting her confidence back later in the saga, which continued all the way until the end of the Grand Festival.
...Or how about thinking while you watch something and being able to rationally critique it? I may not have seen much of BW, but I don't think Iris has done anything that makes Hellion's dissatisfaction undeserved.It's a cartoon how about enjoying it and not getting bent-outta shape over little things? You insult Iris like it's a bad drinking game.

At the time this article was written, Iris had expressed no dreams of her own; she hadn't really worked on her stated goal of training Kibago outside of a short sparring match; she hasn't shown any real character flaw she needs to work on...
