As with both the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} before it, the ''Best Wishes'' series begins with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to a new [[region]] with his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Much like before, his previous female companion, {{an|Dawn}}, has left the series, while, unlike the previous three series, with the exception of the [[S02|Orange Archipelago]] saga, {{an|Brock}} does not join him in his journey in Unova. Instead, Ash now travels through [[Unova]] with a girl by the name of {{an|Iris}} and with one of the first Unova Gym Leaders, {{an|Cilan}}, who is also a [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. | As with both the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} before it, the ''Best Wishes'' series begins with only [[Ash Ketchum]], headed off to a new [[region]] with his {{AP|Pikachu}}.

As before, Ash receives a change of clothes. For the first time in the entire show, the [[Team Rocket trio]] also receive a change of clothes, but later change back to their original outfits. Additionally, the [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] in Unova are designed differently than those of the regions visited by Ash before.

''Best Wishes'' is also notable for [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} not being present in all episodes outside of [[AG120|a clip show]] and the [[EP001|first episode]], a trend that continued into the {{series|XY}} and the {{series|Sun & Moon}}. For a majority of the series they play a significantly more antagonistic role than in any other series, displaying very little humor (although this was restored during the [[Decolore Islands]] arc). | ||
The series also saw the return of ''Who's That Pokémon?'' in the English dub of [[BW001|the first episode]], and the return of ''[[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare da?]]'' in [[BW061]] after an absence of 444 episodes. | The series also saw the return of ''Who's That Pokémon?'' in the English dub of [[BW001|the first episode]], and the return of ''[[Who's That Pokémon?|Dare da?]]'' in [[BW061]] after an absence of 444 episodes. | ||
