I was sad to see the series end. It's hard to believe just how fast this series has gone by. 4 years has flown by. Sooner than we think, will be saying the same thing about how Black and White is now over.
The background music really helped make this episode memorable. I'm surprised to think and say that I'm sad to see Hikari go. I'm still quite hesitant about the new Black and White characters, especially Dento.
Takeshi got a pretty short goodbye. No real flashback scene or anything, just an interesting epilogue scene showing Satoshi and Takeshi at the now quite famous crossroads where they've split a few times. I hope that the short scene with Takeshi is a bit of an indication that we will see him again soon. Hopefully his new found profession has him traveling with Satoshi again.
Unfortunately we didn't get to see any cameo scene with Kenji or Kasumi. I was hoping for at least an appearance in Masara Town.

So sad. I will miss the DP cast so much, unlike before I was actually old enough to appreciate the characters this time around, and now i have to see them ago, especially Takeshi that has been around for ~13 years ;0.
I agree the BGM in this episode was fantastic. Let alone Together itself being used in the Champion battle made my week. I love this episode and am depressed by it at the same time.
I'm completely prepared for BW now though! I love Iris's design and I'm sure I'll grow to love Dento too. DP set the standards high, hopefully BW is better.

I thought it was confirmed Brock won't be in Best Wishes? He already has a replacement and Brock's character and VA isn't listed anywhere on the official TVTokyo "Best Wishes," site. Brock's definitely retired from the anime as a main character at least, besides possible cameos.
Brock's goodbye was short but it fit his character. I think they spent too much time on Piplup's crying though.
As for the lack of Pallet, at this point, it would not surprise me if Misty and Tracey are phased out from the series entirely. They haven't been an important part of the show now for three generations and have gotten too far into the past.
