Well Iris DID need another powerhouse other than Excadrill and another Dragon type since she is trying to be a Dragon Master. All she had was Axew for her Dragon type before and it only had two Dragon moves. Emolga seemed a bit odd for Iris to train since it learns NO Dragon moves except for when it comes to Hidden Power's type. At least with Dragonite she can call herself a Dragon master in training since most trainers in the anime with a Dragonite were pretty powerful. And maybe Georgia will give Iris some credit for catching a rare and powerful Pokemon for once. I mean the battles those two have had almost always involved Excadrill and no Dragon Pokemon. For that reason I can sort of understand why Georgia doesn't think Iris worthy to battle when she has no useful Dragon type Pokemon to battle her rival with other than Axew.

Unfortunately, merely getting Dragonite doesn't make Iris worthy to battle. It makes Dragonite worthy to battle. Kind of. I don't think it would change Georgia's opinion of Iris at all [although she has been more supportive of Iris in recent times]. So at this moment in time adding Dragonite to her team doesn't aid Iris at all. If anything, it takes all potential growth and development that Iris could have had by evolving a Dratini or Dragonair herself and throws it out the window.

Just waiting for Cilan to be given anything... if they can sacrifice adequate focus for all of Iris's Pokémon by giving her Dragonite, they can give Cilan something new too. :S

Man I hope Serena gets a good team in the anime. Iris' team was lackluster and Misty's team of all water pokemon got boring.

I sort of liked May and Dawn's teams, but even then they weren't as good as they could have been. I wish the main girl could have a strong collection of pokemon for once.

Angelic Lapras King:
Well May did have a pretty strong team when she returned in Sinnoh. Not much, but that's what time away from that walking Everstone Ash can sometimes do for you. XD

I'll be interested to see what they do about Charizard. I'm certain he won't come with Ash for X and Y, but considering Charizard has a Mega Evolution, I'm sure that's something the writers will want to do sometime down the line (Have Charizard return and have him Mega Evolve).

And also if he gets Oak'd or returns to the Charisific Valley or whatever it was called....

Yeah, every female lead gets stronger AFTER they leave Ash. I always thought Misty's team was boring since she had all generic water pokemon, that's why the writers only focused on Psyduck because it was her one good pokemon.

Iris only had 4 pokemon, and her Dragonite was ridiculous.

Dawn's team started off good but once Ambipom was released it got lackluster. Neither Piplup nor Buneary ever evolved, and Mamoswine wasn't as strong as it should have been. Don't get me started on that Togekiss that was just handed to her without any training.
