Do you consider the "N arc" to be a second saga for Iris/Cilan?

[MidnightMelody]

Episode N is an arc from the fandom view and the writers view but in the producers eyes it is still part of BWS2. However it is an arc. Any time a new story is shown it is a new arc. (Well if it is a major new story change)

1 region yes, but the number of I guess "arcs" depends on if Ash is chasing another goal again. For example I do count the Orange Islands and Kanto Battle Frontier as separate quests since Ash had a new goal of collecting badges and symbols respectively. So if Ash has another quest like that then yes I would consider them being 2 arcs, if not then it's just an addition to the Unova quest.

Well put. Similar to what I was going to say.

Does it really matter? It's still the same region.

I'm honestly not sure if Iris will stay. Considering she might take over as opelucid gym leader, and the fact that ash is meeting someone else starting their adventure, it's possible that new person will take over iris at some point. Cilan, on the other hand, I think he'll definitely stay.

Eh. I kind of consider Unova to be just one region split into two parts (which aren't very even either), to be honest.

No, Season N is the same in Best Wishes!

Only if you count battle frontier and the orange island league as separate sagas then yes if not then no.

BF and Orange Islands count as separate sagas but their still apart of AG and OS respectively. Ash actually left to travel a different region with new battle agendas in mind. In Episode N Ash is still travelling Unova and as of yet he doesn't have a new gym challenge and he's not competing in different Battle Facilities
