Which characters did you like the character development for the best?

Team Rocket have their history which I appreciate. Among the twerps, I thought May went through the most before Dawn was introduced. Although I feel Dawn is becoming a contest champion way too quickly, and it feels unrealistic to me. May seemed more down-to-earth, as she's still working toward her goal.

Gary went through nice character development, and went from a immature rival to a researcher.

i liked the way they worked sakaki sama into the
anime.I always felt he wasn't in it enough until
they introduced the dream sequences.
also harleys character developed well,the way he
just kept on getting crazier in his contest
battles with haruka.

Tracey, although he wasn't on for very long, has had quite a few cameos lately to show some of his development from studying at Professor Oak's laboratory. Obviously, being close to a world famous Professor, he is going to learn something about Pokemon plus tending for all the different types of Pokemon that are at the lab certainly helps his development.

It is too bad Misty didn't get the screentime or development of the other female characters. They never really focused on her much until after she left the show with those specials. Its only apparent now how little screentime Misty actually got as a character while she traveled among the group.

It also seems as if they have no desire to give her cameo arcs anymore, as DP is ending and she didn't appear at all. Sometimes I think the writers never cared for her character much as they ignored and neglected her throughout her entire run.

Maybe... Ash?

There is a fine line between "character development" and "character derailment".
Ash just isn't Ash anymore. That's why I spend my time with my Indigo League Ash plushie, keeping my eye on that weird guy Dent- oh wait, that's more because I have no life.

Ash Ketchum plushies exist? I don't see them on Amazon.com though.

That's because I made it! *huggles Ash plushie*
