What is the source of this episode title?
Newtype.
And it feels like the anime staff don't give a shit about the league this time around.

What is the source of this episode title?
#1: Virgil's Eevee evolves into a Gen 6 Eeveelution, and it proves to be Ash's downfall. Harrison's Blaziken 2: Eevee Boogaloo.
#2: The return of good ol' Trollbias.
#3: N crashes the League and wrecks him with Reshiram/Zekrom.
#4: Benga shows up with his Latios and Latias.
#5: Other.
Let's see how Ash loses this time around. When the League is over, I'm gonna come back and quote this post to mark which one happened.
If Ash does lose Kotetsu, I hope latter rubs the former's nose in it.
"Thanks, Satoshi! If it weren't for you making sure I registered, I wouldn't have been able to participate in the League! Your kindness allowed me to win."
Is there any proof that Satoshi loses to Kotetsu? He wins in the magazine scan, which has been accurate so far (to my knowledge). The title could simply mean that the Unova League is nearing its conclusion.
Agreed. Having Ash lose to Virgil in a 6 v 6 in less than one episode, even if it were only showing their last few pokemon, would be an even more retarded and pathetic way of ending the league than having Ash lose to Kotetsu
This is Best Wishes though, "retarded and pathetic" things are this saga's MO.
I mean after all, we had an episode during the league about Axew getting lost AGAIN, and Oshawott dicking around...that was completely and utterly pointless.
Wow, you fall to the titles so much...
There's absolutely nothing saying Ash is going to lose to Kotetsu. The "Unova League Conclusion" says nothing. We're all aware of how the episode titles are full of flaw, or don't you remember the "Good Bye Team Rocket"/"Unova Greatest Crisis"?
And what about 1/3? Is it being skipped as well as 12/27?Wow, you fall to the titles so much...

This is the last episode of the league. The N arc starts 1/17 and this episode airs 1/10 a week before.
If Ash beats Kotetsu the entire Virgil match must be rushed into the last 10 minutes of the episode.
Nobody can say that Ash lost to an Eevee trainer, but Ash making it to the Top 8 for the third time seems kind of dull. Overall, this definitely beat out Kanto as the worst Pokemon League competition ever.
And what about 1/3? Is it being skipped as well as 12/27?

As for Ash vs Kotetsu, if it wasn't how it was turning out, would likely be better than any of the Kanto league battles.

It is incredibly unlikely that Ash and Virgil will ever battle here, because there was no footage from the "Professor Oak's Lecture" preview of their Pokemon battling. For Ash vs. Stephan, we got Leavanny dodging Sawk's Close Combat. For Ash vs. Kotetsu, Samurott is using Aqua Jet on Pignite. But when the preview got to Virgil, all we saw was a battle between Virgil's Eevee and a Druddigon. Ash does not own a Druddigon; he will not be battling Virgil here.
It is possible that the Druddigon might belong to Kotetsu or to Virgil's Top 8 opponent. We know that Virgil's Top 16 opponent will be Flora, and he will be using an Umbreon against her Gothitelle.
And what about 1/3? Is it being skipped as well as 12/27?
Yes. This is 100% the last episode that deals with the League.
It seems that the writers care about the League approximately as much as I do this time around.
... oh, writers...So why was Virgil even in the league? They could have promoted Eevee forms in fillers. Virgil is even more pointless than Harrisson, Tyson or Tobias because Ash doesn't battle him.
I think that's an unnecessary conspiracy theory. The simple fact is that the Sinnoh League was the conclusion of the Sinnoh saga, whereas the Unova League is not the conclusion of Unova; Episode N will be.I am almost convinced the writers purposely sabotaged Best Wishes. Seems like they really wanted Ash to win the league back in DP but the higher ups forced them not to. So Best Wishes is the result of the writers frustration and lack of effort.
Ash only gets 3 battles in the entire league, and one of those was a 1 on 1. Each Unova pokemon only gets used once too.
Good theory, but the higher ups would have kicked their ass just at the start.I am almost convinced the writers purposely sabotaged Best Wishes.
