Well we're getting to that time again, the region is almost over and its time for another league.
We're now 12 years and 620 something episodes into the series. By the time we get to the league eps we may be 650 episodes into the series.
For this league the writers already had Paul beat Ash in a 6 on 6 battle in a regular ep, which implies at least to me Ash will beat him in the league. Thus far there is no sign of another Richie/Harrison/Tyson popping up out of nowhere, although there's still time for that.
Sinnoh is the longest region of the series, gearing up to be almost 200 episodes by the time it ends. How would you feel if Ash lost the league yet again? That means we'd theoretically have to wait for yet another generation, the 5th gen, which would take us into the year 2015+ in real life for Ash to win a league. How many of us will still be here by then, honestly?
As for me, I'd honestly be disappointed. Back in Johto and Hoenn there was no indication Ash would actually win the leagues those times so it didn't matter to me. However this time I feel there is more pushing toward Ash finally winning, and since a lot of us probably won't still be around in the 5th gen region, I hope this is it.
