For me it would be either Cilan's fear of Purloin or Georgia's battle that caused her to want to be a Dragon Buster!

I'd imagine (well it probably isn't the case) that it was the same tournament Iris entered in with Drilbur but they never met up or saw each other face to face. I'd wager Beartic or her 2 headed ice cream cone were in their pre-evolved forms and lost OR her starter Pokemon (whatever it was) got messed up pretty bad by one of the Unova Dragons.

Then she left the tournament early never meeting, seeing Iris or vice-versa.

She just seemed like a character that could have gotten better back story than most of the other BW recurring characters.

Who would you like to get to know more about in the Unova Saga?
 
Cilan mainly. He's so scared of Purloin and I have no idea why. It feels like it'll be an interesting story.

i just can't imagine what would make him so scared. Unless he's superstitious.=P
 
Georgia stated (in the dub at least) that she caught Vanilluxe specifically to beat Iris, so I doubt it'd be her ice cream that got beaten up. But what caused Georgia to dislike Dragon types so much was always something I wondered about.

After her, Stephan. Aside from the fact that he trained his Sawk really, really hard, we don't know anything about his backstory. And I don't mind if we never find out Cilan's story with Purrloin, since leaving it a mystery could be funny.
 
Along with Cilan, I wish we could have gotten some more development regarding Georgia's backstory as I found her to be one of the best rivals in Best Wishes and Pokémon anime in general; her rivalry with Iris was just super fun and enjoyable. Ând if ONLY they did something with Trip's backstory, something more, back when he still had potential for proper development.
 
I'm not that interested in Cilan really. We already have a good sense of his background from his relationship with his brothers back at the gym. I'd like to know more about Iris if anymore, or Cabernet. I'm sure a flashback involving her as child would be a fun one.

Yeah I didn't watch that episode when it came out in the U.S. so I missed that bit. But makes sense that she'd catch a type to fight Dragonite. But still I'd really like to get her backstory more.

Georgia...I mean is there any of her story that we don't already know? It seemed that she was an average 10 year old (or older?) going to be a trainer to compete in the Pokemon League by challenging gyms only to get defeated and "demoralized" by Cilan's "harsh" comments but that was probably her mind making the situation more severe that it really was and she wanted to beat Cilan by becoming better than him at his own game of evaluating Pokenon which is why she became a Pokemon Coniseur...yeah I don't know how to spell that word.
 
Cameron's in all honesty. His main Pokemon is Lucario, so I would guess that it was his first pokemon. How did he get Riolu? How did he not know you needed 6 pokemon in a full battle? Why is he so dumb?

Another would be Bianca. I get that she seems as if she can't do anything, but hey; she beat Trip's Conkeldurr! Her Emboar is pretty B.A, so why did she choose it at the start of her journey? She seems to like cute and buff pokemon only; Oshawott and Snivy are cute aswell? I also want to know why she decided to become a trainer and not another type of trainer class.

I think you mean Burgundy.
 
Do Pokemon count? If so, I'd want to know about Snivy's backstory. She's the first previously owned Pokemon caught by a main character to have abandoned her trainer rather than be abandoned. With that said, Tepig already got his re-used, cliched backstory, so it's kinda annoying that Snivy's unique story hasn't had an episode yet. I want to know who her trainer was, why she left them, what they're doing now, how they felt about it and what they're doing now...ect.

Unfortunatly, with where the series is going now, I doubt we'll be seeing it at all.

Good call

Wow, you're name seems to suit you well!
 
Dent and Langley are the two I am most interesting in hearing more about.

For as long as Dent has been on the show, I'm surprised we don't know more about his past besides that he likes to taste things and he used to be a gym leader? But what did he do before that?

I have a headcanon that Langley was beaten by a very strong dragon Pokemon in her early trainer days- (she seems like she'd talk tough, but during the battle she knew she was severely overpowered, and her Pokemon got very badly injured and wasn't able to battle anymore, after that, she vowed to be a Dragon Buster) but that doesn't mean anything and I'd like to know the real reason why. It seems kind of random that she'd just wake up one day and decided that she hates Dragon pokemon and specifically trains two Ice Pokemon for the purpose of defeating them.

Oh, and Virgil. I wonder if there is a reason he decided to only train Eeveelutions?
