Characters in the anime that you wish met.

[Angel~]

Which characters in the anime that haven't met, but you wished that they did, or you're hoping for them to meet? An example for me is Misty & Dawn.

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

Lololol. I wish Misty met Iris and Dawn. Since Misty and Iris both specialize in one type. Dawn and Misty should meet because Dawn wanted Misty's lure.

Well Misty and Dawn had no reason to meet which is likely why the writers didn't even bother.

I would have liked Gary to at least see Paul, they were both in Sinnoh at the time.

[Zoruagible]

Paul and Trip should meet

[HoennDreamer]

May and ash and brock

Well Misty and Dawn had no reason to meet.

Misty & Dawn had a reason to meet!

[CyberCubed]

Misty & Dawn had a reason to meet!

Not really. Seeing a fishing lure isn't a big deal. Its not like Dawn (or even Ash or Brock) even mentioned Misty again the rest of the time Dawn was there.

Hell, the fishing lure itself never appeared again afterward, even though there were a few more fishing scenes in DP.

From that lure she then knew that Misty is a friend of Ash & Brock's, runs the Cerulean Gym, and was a former traveling companion. And lastly it is something that I want to see. Just because you don't wanna see it doesn't mean others don't too!

I want Harley and Ursula to meet in a contest. That would be interesting.

Definitely Brock and Cilan. Meeting between two oldest and most wise members Ash traveled with would make for fantastic interactions and i always wandered who is better cook between them.

Never mind scratch that, battle between those two would be much better.

I was also always interest in Misty meeting Paul. Dunno why but his arrogance and cold attitude would lead to interesting characterization and conflict from Misty side always having low brink of tolerance toward such behavior. It wouldn't be first time she tried to stand up to weak not letting that others underestimate her.

I will say i was curious to see how she would interact with Dawn too.

Max meeting Conway would have been interesting too. Both are bookworm type of characters showing to know lot about pokemon and strategy, having lot of things in common which could make for spicy dynamic.

Should we than say same thing about May meeting Dawn?

Reason behind meeting was to get know Ash former traveling companion, to bring more continuity in DP story by letting know younger generations about Ash past and to possibly either advance Misty or Dawn story through that meeting.
Judging by all those flashbacks of Ash releasing Butterfree Pikachu refusing to evolve in Vermillion etc it surely wouldn't hurt to add extra reference to past.

Approach of "nothing needing to happen" only derives from point of story having more substance to it and it discourage positive discussion with return of previous companions only bringing extra benefits.

Main reason why so many people thought how Misty will meet Dawn is exactly because of that lure with Dawn eagerness to find more about her being annotated as some form of foreshadowing among people. Back than no one knew it would just stay on lure.

I think a big reunion between Ash, Brock, Cilan and his 4 traveling girl companions would be really interesting to see.

[DawnBoy]

Here's a few characters that I want to see meeting each other:
Misty and Dawn
Misty and Iris
Brock and Cilan
Gary, Paul, and Trip
Barry and Bianca

[Nightstar1994]

I want Ash, Iris and Cilan meet Grimsley in the Filler Saga if there ever will be one. He would be such an awesome character, i bet his personality would be all mysterious and all :P

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

I want Harley and Ursula to meet in a contest. That would be interesting.

Haha. Yes, I would totally love that. They're my favorite.

[fruitjuice222]

A skitty in heat and a wailord of the opposite gender.

[DawnBoy]

I'd like Dawn to meet Bianca and Iris to meet May.

[ConUxie223]

I would like Todd and Trip to meet and decide to go on a journey together to take pictures of rare and unseen Pokemon.

[coolminun]

I would like Misty to meet Marlon. Water pokemon rock!!

[Demon Kitsune Yoko Kurama]

I would like Misty to meet Marlon. Water pokemon rock!!

Why did I not say that? (>.<) I love both of them. And agreed Water Pokemon rule.

When Ash wins the unova league he should rent out the indigo plateau and invite every single person he's ever met for a giant I finally won party.
