Since I haven't seen a topic about it...

It seems like once Ash is finished in Alola, the show will NOT follow him to Galar and instead will reboot as a new series featuring elements from all 8 generations; it's not even confirmed if Ash will be in it.

The trailer shows starter Pokemon from every generation and The Pokemon Company said that the new show will take place in all regions, Kanto through Galar in an attempt to cater to new and old fans alike.

Many people are speculating that it may be some sort of condensed adventure that shows a journey across all regions but it doesn't sound like it's going to be a direct continuation as each new series has been so far.

The only thing I can think that would make this happen AND be a continuation of Ash's story as we know it is that there are a handful of clip show episodes in which Ash reminisces about his adventures in those regions as he travels through Galar.

I doubt they would have an anime series without Ash since the anime is used a tool for advertising the video games to the little kids. An anime series that doesn't have at least some focus on Galar would be bad if you want to advertise the latest games.

I could see the next anime series doing something like 10-20 episodes traveling in Galar, then Ash travels to another region for maybe 5-10 episodes, then heads back to Galar again. We could possibly see a series of mini arcs sprinkled throughout the next anime series focused on traveling to a past region to meet up with old companions and rivals, but the anime as a whole would still have Galar as the main focus.

That teaser poster implies that Ash is new girl's rival, but it's probable that she's just going to be the May/Dawn/Iris/Serena of this series.

What they should've done was make Ash Brendan's rival in Hoenn, starting a new cycle with every series. Ash got stale ages ago and hasn't had much, if any, good development since DP. They don't need him, they just need a Pikachu. Because mascot.

Of course this surely, SURELY TO GOD, means Ash is winning the Pokemon League on Sunday.

I bet new girl is Ash's daughter, and she retraces the steps of his pokemon journey.

I can think of very few other reasons Ash would give his Pikachu to some random girl.

Seeing the bike causes Misty to remember how her journey with Ash began, when he stole the bike and ended up destroying it. Ash comments on the good job Nurse Joy did with the restoration, and comments that Misty can get back to Cerulean City even quicker, but this upsets Misty and she runs out


Holy shit that's amazing

If anyone's curious and wants to find out early, the Pokemon variety show already spoiled the results of the battle. They showed a clip of the winner receiving the trophy from the Masked Royal while the loser was just off by himself.

The funny thing is that's not even the point of the clip. They were actually advertising Guzzlord's appearance and just happened to casually spoil the champion in the process.

He could've also (I mean as in addition to my idea above about Hoenn) won the league in DP, but they had to create a trainer who used hacked ubers to beat him - and Ash even somehow took one of them down. Doesn't it show you how far Ash had come for them to have to do that?

And then they made him an idiot again in BW, as opposed to starting fresh with Hilda, Cheren, and Bianca as protagonists.

I'm of the opinion that Ash should have been retired at the end of Battle Frontier.

While he lost the Hoenn Pokemon League, becoming the new leader of the Battle Frontier would have been a nice final send-off that both gives Ash something nice, and still gives him motivation to continue his training.

D/P stars Dawn(Piplup was trying to be the new mascot for a while anyway), and we're spared the travesty of Ash losing to some random with a team of unexplained legendaries(Not that we officially know what the other four members of team was).

Ash could even make cameo appearances from time to time. Have him chat up the region's champion perhaps.

I think Ash will almost certainly win the Alola League because there's no anime exclusive character to stop him from winning. In all of Ash's previous losses in the regional Pokemon Leagues, he always lost to an anime exclusive character. The Alola League was filled entirely with characters that were also in the games.

I've followed it enough to know the league was happening. I know it's apparently not great and that Kalos was better. But it really doesn't matter now.

Saw it
That was terrible and the animation sucks
It was one episode long (battle started midway of the previous episode and ended somehow at the middle of this episode) and 3 on 3
Where are the times it used to be 6 on 6, three episodes long?
It wasn't Kanto or Unova leagues bad, but it was pretty weak
Also how can you say the animation looks great when you have that Lycanroc "biting" on Stone Edge...what the hell was that

Oh and
Fuck the Pokemon Variety Show for spoiling this
Fuck Kotaku for putting this article at their front page without any spoiler warning whatsoever

Ash victory was also super anticlimatic and the way he reacted to it was dumb as hell. "I won?" yeah shit you did
