Ash's Pokemon XY Team/Predictions and Speculation

[Sakuraa]

Usually Ash get's all of the starters somehow.

Ash didn't get all of the starters in Hoenn or Sinnoh. May and Dawn received Torchic and Piplup respectively from their regional professors since they were new trainers. I believe it's already been said that Serena is also a new trainer and will be getting a Pokémon from Sycamore, who I think has the Kalos starters in the anime, so I doubt Ash will get all of them.

I personally think, and hope, that Ash will only get Froakie, but if he gets Chespin as well, I guess I'll be okay with that.

So he'll obviously have Pikachu, Froakie, and Fletching, which leaves a spot for a Grass type and two wild cards. I'm thinking that his grass type will be Skiddo, because I could see Skiddo being the 'Phanpy/Scraggy' of the group. I'm also really hoping that he catches an Poison type and a Ghost type this time around. My dream team for him would be something like:

- Pikachu
- Fletching > Talonflame
- Froakie > Frogadier > ?
- Skiddo > Gogoat/ Orotto
- Orotto/Honedge
- Something that hasn't been revealed

I'd really love it if he would capture a type he hasn't before.

I would say one wildcard since he usually captures a ground type too lol.

I would say one wildcard since he usually captures a ground type too lol.

Ground isn't a staple for him though, unlike Flying, Water, Grass, and Fire.

And considering he has gone two sagas in a row with four ground types, I would say he won't be catching one this time around.

Outside of Kanto and Hoenn, he ALWAYS has a ground type, how is that not a staple??

Although since BF is considered to be part of AG, you can say he had a ground type in AG too.

Staple meaning something he catches every region, hence why Ground is not one. Secondly, he had a Ground type in AG. He did not catch one in AG.

 

[Supreme Leader Palpitoad]

He has Pikachu as usual. Fletchling and Froakie is so confirmed they can be without being confirmed. Then Grass and Fire. For Grass I would say Skkido or Chespin. Fire... well I think that it will be something that has not been revealed. Litleo or Fennekin does not fit him. And one wild card. I hope Tyrunt. It would be fun to see Ash with a fossil.

Fletchling will evolve, giving him his fire type. So there's 2 spots to fill. It would be great if he got Tyrunt. Serena can get Amaura.

I bet he gets Chespin too.

Oh you know what I meant, the fact that he usually gets a ground type makes it more then likely he will get one this region.

 

[Ashs Battle Coach]

Nah he doesn't need a ground type. He's got loads now. I'd only want him to get a ground type if its a duel type with a type Ash doesn't have.

The only staples of Ash's teams are Pikachu, water type, Bird pokemon, grass type and fire type. And its completely possible that the fire type and bird pokemon staples will be combined

 

[Life]

...That's my point though. He usually gets them, not always gets them. You could also use your logic to say that he will get a Fighting type this region because he has had one in 4 different regions.

tl;dr = Usually =/= Always

Hopefully he will get a fighting type: Pancham. Unlikely however.

Well, we know about Froakie and Fletchling being obvious captures even if it isn't "officially" confirmed (though, at this point, it's pretty obvious). And there is the always-present Pikachu, so that's three slots so far. Ash always has a staple pattern: Electric, Flying, Grass, Fire, and Water. However, because Fletchling will evolve into a Fire-type, there is a chance that both Fire and Flying roles will be taken at the same time. So unless the writers throw us a fast-one, where Ash catches a regular Fire-type along with a Talonflame, that means he will have three slots left.

I for one would like to see Ash with a Grass-type that isn't a Starter. I mean, he broke the mold there with Leavanny, and he was an awesome Mon. It would be great if he caught a non-Stater Grass-type for his main team. Skiddo would be my preferred (that and we only know a few new Grass Pokemon right now, so there isn't too much to go by at this time), since I feel it would fit with him. And since he learned about Gogoat from Alexa, I wouldn't be surprised if that inspired him to catch one of his own. I have nothing against Chespin, mind you, I'm just getting tired of the Grass Starter always in his team in all regions, and would like something new this time around. But, known how his patterns tend to flow, Chespin will probably be part of the main team (unless we do another rotation bit again, if they can get it right this time around).

Moving on, that'll mean he'll have two open slots remaining. Which means he can have probably two wild card Pokemon (again, assuming Talonflame takes the role of both Flying and Fire Pokemon), so that's the tough ones to figure out. Some ideas I have are: Noivern, Honedge, Amaura, and Pancham.

Out of all of them, I would love to see him with a Noivern. It could be like a test of his character, since Noivern are very combative, it would show how Ash has grown by giving him a borderline berserker and show how he can control it. But, then again, that's probably just a pipe dream I have, so it'll probably not happen (and, considering this is Ash we're talking about, that's probably a big stretch).

So, if I had a say in what Ash would catch, it would be the following:

Pikachu
Froakie (and for god's sake, let it evolve!!!)
Fletchling
Skiddo
Noivern/Honedge
Pancham/Amaura

But, if he does go the path of having a Fire-type along with Talonflame (since he might not know that Fletchling will evolve into a Fire-type), I guess Litleo would be the most appropriate fit (thought I would still like him to have a Fennekin, but that's another big stretch).

 

[Supreme Leader Palpitoad]

Pikachu
Froakie (and for god's sake, let it evolve!!!)
Fletchling
Skiddo
Noivern/Honedge
Pancham/Amaura

It would be strange if Ash had two species of pokemon that Alexa owns.

Not really. Ash had a couple of Pokemon in common with Paul; Torterra and Gliscor, both he and Dawn have a Quilava, and he and May both had a Bulbasaur and Squirtle (though May's have evolved since then), so it's not exactly an unheard of situation. And besides, the movies tend to give such a pattern. A number of Pokemon that were in a movie ended up with a main character (Buizel, for example), because they seem to fit well with the main cast. So it's not unheard of. And like I said, he could be inspired by Alexa to try to catch one of his own, as that's happened before (Cyndaquil, Noctowl, and Treeko are some examples, as other people even just mentioning them made him want to catch said Pokemon). So it's not unheard of. Possibility of it happening with two Pokemon is a toss-up, yes, but not impossible.

True. But it would be boring to have Ash and one of his friends with the same pokemons. And I have a feeling of that Ash will not get Skkido/Gogoat. Noivern, maybe. The reason you put up is fun though.

Did I say he can't?? If he does rotate, he most likely will lol.

If he only gets 6 pokemon, I expect a ground type, especially since their might be an electric gym.

Let us just hope that it does not end like last time he used a Ground type in an Electric gym.

No let us hope the next time they don't troll us and say Pikachu isn't gonna get used then have him star -_-...
