They are REALLY pushing the fact that Isshu is a far away region, aren't they?
Jennoy Epidemic Continues To Spread:
Meh, the new Officer Jenny looks okay, though it makes her look like she's fresh from a boot camp.

As for Nurse Joy, she's obviously been redesigned to look like the nurses in the Isshu Pokecenters.

A Photo Of A Rival:
I would really like Paul to continue to be Ash's rival in Isshu, but if they were to introduce another rival I would hope they bring us an interesting one. If this is him, then I have to let out a sigh and shake my head. He doesn't really sound like a rival, or atleast the main one, mostly because how can you make a photographer as big as a jerk Gary or Paul were?
Does he have to be a jerk? No, but it would be better for Ash's rival to be a jerk as Ash's ego has alwasy been high and he needs a character to be constantly dropping him back down to realize that he still needs more training to do. Now I suppose a friendly rival could do the same, though it might not make Ash as determined as he was against Gary and Paul since a friendly rival would always consider Ash a worthy foe so Ash doesn't have to prove himself as a worthy trainer.

Oh, BTW, Pokemon Company, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE PICTURES WITH ASH IN THEM! It's nice we are seeing familiar (albiet redesigned) faces with Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy but I would think if you were to show any character it would be THE main character! If anything to just show his new clothes.
