With what Serena is doing I don't think there's a particular need for her to fill out her team, to me it wouldn't be surprising if she ends the series with her current three - of course with Eevee as a Sylveon. She has expressed an interest in Meowstic back in like XY045 but that could just be thrown under the carpet if they want.

Regarding Ash and multiple typings, his Sinnoh team had three Ground-types on it, Torterra, Gliscor and Gible. Not all of them were there at the same time, though. If I remember correctly he caught Gible after Gliscor went for training? (Correct me if I'm wrong). Unlike this Sinnoh similarity (heh), the three Flying-types he has in Kalos don't share a common weakness like getting destroyed by Ice. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. While I'd probably find it odd if he ends up at the Kalos League with his current and fully evolved five, I guess that would just add weight for him bringing back his older 'mons for it, which I'd be more than happy with. I guess they'd be counting Goodra as the sixth in that case?

Can't say I'd feel the same way about Charizard taking the sixth slot, though. I think that's stretching it a little. Swapping Talonflame for Charizard? Firstly, he'd need a full team for that to make sense, and secondly, DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT MAJESTIC THING. *raises fists*

Ash is likely going to catch one more pokemon. Charizard has no place in his Kalos team and there is no evidence of it's return. We don't need to see Mega Charizard Y. The pokemon I can see Ash catching is Phantump but that is my opinion. I also don't think Ash is going to use mega evolution since he is going to have Greninja with it's new form.

I agree. He could get Bergmite or Honedge as well; any of them are fine for me.

I wish the Shishiko from the new episode was being caught by Ash, but alas. There's still Bokurei I suppose since it needs a debut and all.

I'm still hoping that Litleo will be captured by someone. We haven't seen much proof for anything, which is very disappointing. I can see a reason for Ash to have one, though. Many people don't think he will, sadly. Some have been pretty rude about it also.

It is possible he could have one at some point. Every six gen pokemon, apart from legendary pokemon, mythical pokemon and pokemon his companions got, has a chance to be caught by Ash. I would like a Phantump because it serves as a new type and a grass type but that is my opinion. Litleo has a chance to be caught by Ash, Clemont or Serena. However, Clemont has enough pokemon in my opinion so that leaves Ash and Serena.

I bet Mega Charizard Y will go to Travor because he has Charmeleon plus I agree Ash will end getting Phantump also few more other Pokémon too

Wasn't there merchandise for mega Charizard Y for either this month or for December? If so then maybe Trevor will make another appearance soon.

There's not many Pokemon left in Gen VI for Ash to catch, aside from one like Bergmite, Phantump, or Honedge. These haven't debuted yet and I do see Phantump being a likely choice for Ash. I really hope though that Litleo gets added cause I just love the cute lion cub so much. Nobody knows what his 6th will be and the opening didn't even show one, so I think they're trying to keep it a mystery(Unlike Greninja, but Noivern is being kept a mystery kinda). Some same its not gonna happen cause Litleo just isn't there, which is getting irritating.

I reckon Bulbasaur will be brought back. He is a grass type, Kanto starters were available in XY (even though the rival trio got them) and there was some focus on him as Ash returned from Unova.

Not really much point since it won't evolve. I prefer Ash catch one more pokemon than to see him bring an old pokemon back or use mega evolution.

There is no evidence that Litleo will be caught by anyone. What is most likely to happen is Team Rocket trying to capture the Pyroar and/or (most likely and) Pikachu, and the Litleo evolves to save them. Just another filler episode with the same plot.

I'd be surprised if the Litleo/Pyroar does get captured, but that's a low chance, considering Clemont already has a Luxray.

Now. let's address it one after another...
I still dislike the idea of Sawyer getting Mega before Ash but it is as it is. I would have enjoyed it if Ashs Sceptile comes back and Mega evolves since I like it better than Charizard (I just prefer Grass over Fire) though Charizard would make more sense. But, I think it's more likely Trevor gets one (if Sawer got the Mega Sceptile).
It's still a big mystery about Ash's No. 6, with close to no hint whatsoever. I would like Honedge or Phantump though. But I heard Nintendo wants to bring Red/Green (Blue in the west)/Yellow to the 3DS (along with Zelda TP HD it sounds to me like they already hopped on the re-make train into doom, I mean real good games don't need to be remade, ever but I digress) the likelihood for Bulbasaur to return is there as well, but then again, the Bulba-line is already covered with Shauna. As is the Squirtle line with Tierno. So maybe we're lucky and Goodra returns or he at least catches Honedge or Phantump (Litleo relly seems more of a Flare or Rocket capture though I can imagine that to heathen up Serenas performance with double the fire or a hot light in the darkness).
Next up Serena. You would wonder how good fanarts can be. I already saw a bunch of those I deemed better than the official ones. So, unless Serene and Sylveon were in a connected context in the op, ed or so (I haven't seen anything over XY Episode 90) I wouldn't call any confirmation for it. But thinking about possible evolutions for Serenas Eevee, at this point I call it most likely to be Nymphia (Sylveon) or it stays an Eevee. But who knows, they might surprise us with a new evolution from Gen 7 like a graceful Dragon type or a beautiful Flying type. Might even be a Bug type for it's love of Flowers but for me, highly unlikely.
Her lack of Pokemon might indicate she's not just going her own way after XY(&Z) is gone and done for but as of now, I wouldn't touch anything of this kind of theorization.
Did I cover anything on my mind? I think I did. Have a nice day and see you around.

I think Sylveon makes more sense because it is a gen 6 pokemon and looks the most appealing in the showcases. Clemont has enough pokemon, three at the gym and 4 in the party. Ash would use the new form of Greninja over mega evolution from what I gather and his 6th pokemon can be Phantump or Honedge. I doubt he bring back his older pokemon or Goodra coming back.

What about Ash catching another Kalos Pokémon, like Klefki perhaps. It doesn't have to be Honedge or Phantump.

Edit: So sorry it double posted, network problems, not done on purpose.

I can't see Ash with a Klefki and honestly, I'd be pissed if one made it onto his team and not my precious lion cub. Phantump is more likely.

Klefki has the same chance as Phantump, Honedge or Litleo. Both Honedge and Kefki has two types that Ash doesn't have. Phantump is also a type he hasn't got but is also a grass type which he gets in previous regions. Litleo may not have a type Ash hasn't gotten yet but it still could be caught by him regardless. A new capture of a kalos pokemon is what I prefer ash to have for the final slot in his team.
