Iris is the only main girl not to return after she left. Not counting Serena yet since she just recently left...Iris hasn't appeared at all

Iris got a special.
Last we saw of her, she was chasing after Rayquaza.
And Serena can't return because of kissu.
>only minority main girl
>only one to not return
Whoever makes the anime confirmed racist
Think of it this way: by not appearing, Iris avoided the fates of May and Dawn before her: losing to the new girl to show off how strong she is.

There's no guarantee she would have battled Serena though. Misty and May never battled and they met 3 different times.

Truth.
If Iris came back, she would have lost to Serena, and if Serena comes back, she will lose to Lillie.

>if Serena comes back, she will lose to Lillie.
Truly a humiliating fate worse than death.

Ash is from pokejapan. That technically makes him a minority character since Best Wishes.

This. It's especially obvious in XY, where all three of of his companions are blond, blue-eyed white people.

Honestly I was expecting her to return as the Unova Champion so Ash becomes deeply jealous
