The anime finally fixed Iris and explained she went on a crazy solo journey, became Champion and acts more like her game self now.
Too bad they had her lose to Cynthia in the first round of the Champions tournament, she could have probably beaten half the field but they made her fight the 2nd or 3rd favorite. Plus it was lame how everyone else got to use regional gimmicks (Megas, Dynamax, etc) while she didn't. Even fucking boomer Lance with his Hyper Beam Dragonites got to Dynamax.
