As with both the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and ''Diamond & Pearl'' series 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. Instead, Ash now travels through [[Isshu]] with a girl by the name of {{an|Iris}}. Unlike the previous three series, with the exception of the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Archipelago]] saga, {{an|Brock}} does not join him in his journey in Isshu. Instead, Ash now travels with one of the first Gym Leaders of Isshu, {{an|Dent}}.

Instead, Ash now travels with one of the first Gym Leaders of Unova, {{an|Dent}}.  


As before, Ash receives a change of clothes. For the first time in the entire show, the [[Team Rocket#The trio|Team Rocket trio]] also recieve a change of clothes. Additionally, the [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Officer Jenny]] in Isshu are designed differently than those of the regions visited by Ash before.

The ''Best Wishes'' series will begin to be dubbed closer to the English-language release of {{game|Black and White|s}}, and so it is currently unknown how many [[season]]s the series will be divided into for audiences outside of Japan.
