    Bulbapedia has translated what was said in the trailer about Iris and Dento:


    Iris: Iris is wild-acting girl who likes to climb trees and chew berries. For some reason, she's travelling with her friend, the dragon type Pokemon Kibago.


    Dento: With an abundance of knowledge and experience, Dento is a "Pokemon Sommelier", who checks ("diagnoses") the compatibility between a trainer and their Pokemon, gives them advice on how to become better friends. Is the actual condition what is expected?


    So Iris is basically a wild girl, kind of like Sapphire from Pokemon Special/Adventure like Shiny_missingno noted. Also they didn't give a reason for Iris to be traveling which has me asking a few questions. Is she a trainer? Is she isn't, is that why she carrying Kibago in her hair, because she doesn't have a Pokeball for it? Could it be possible they might try to import Belle's story to her and have her father not wanting her to go on a Pokemon journey?


    As for Dento, honestly I heard a few bit of classes of trainer before and would say some are ridiculous... BUT POKEMON SOMMELIER!!! Are you kidding with this? They couldn't come up with a better term for someone who goes around seeing if trainer's are compatible with their Pokemon (which seems a bit jerkish if you ask me) and try to help them get closer? Also, being the Poketch has an application which does the same thing, are we to take that means the next gadget after the Poketch for Generation V won't have that certain applications or any at all? I mean sure it won't help you if your compatibility is low, but it does at least tell you how high/low it is. I have a feeling when we meet him he's probably a beginning "Pokemon Sommelier" and will say something like Ash and Pikachu don't have good compatibility or something.


    So I think the main question here is why is Iris traveling and whether Dento will be joining Ash and Iris through Isshu. And if Dento is joining them, what does this mean for Brock or are we going to have another 4-people crew like in Hoenn?

    so Iris swings from vines ...my assumptions were right all along. I called her Jungle Girl upon first glimpse LOL, how funny is that. I really don't know what to say. no more OG characters, except Ash of course. no Brock = lame. I'll miss Dawn

    Judging Dento's description, he sounds quite a bit like Brock, making me think even more that the latter will be cast out this saga. As disappointed as I am about that (assuming it happens), it'll be interesting to see how the series goes without Brock in the picture all the time. I mean, he's never really contributed much to the story, so maybe things will be even more exciting with him being replaced. After all, neither Iris nor Dento sound like total background characters like Brock is.

    Yeah, I can live with Iris, but I'm not seeing it with this Dento guy. But so far it doesn't look like Iris is a triner yet, like Pikachu said. Perhaps she statrs her journey within the first few episodes.

    Wait? *points to the above response i made and scratches out ship*



    Anyway, *checks sommelier with google* ...what? XD a whine taster.... Why not?! XD



    I'd love to see another kind of ad, like:


    Pokemon, 13th season!
    Remember how much it sucked that Misty left? Well guess what!






    Say goodbye to Brock and the new girl too!

    Now Ash's friends is a jungle girl with the pseudo-legendary in her ridiculously huge hair (i am not making that up) and the new brock that's about Ash's age who, you guessed it, is a Sommelier!
    oh wait you didn't, you probably don't even know what sommelier is, well, wikipedia sez:
    A sommelier (pronounced /sʌməlˈjeɪ/, French pronunciation: [sɔməlje]), or wine steward, is a trained and knowledgeable wine professional, commonly working in fine restaurants, who specializes in all aspects of wine service as well as wine and food matching. The role is more specialized and informed than that of a wine waiter.

    Pokemon!



    But that's just for lulz, it'll be different but not necessarly bad.

    Page 19 of August's CoroCoro I thought best fit in this thread, since it's mainly about Best Wishes and comes with some news.


    - The advertisement states: "'Best Wishes' are the words used to wish someone who's going on a journey luck. It is a title packed with expectation about the new adventure towards the Isshu Region."
    - It's been confirmed that Iris and Dento will be joining Ash and Pikachu on their journey through Isshu.


    Best Wishes

    Correction, He's a Pokemon Sommelier and that is what they do, check compatibility between a trainer and their Pokemon and help try to improve it.

    Does it matter? He sounds useless either way.



    If he was doing contests or was getting into something else, then why not?
