First of all, Chespin's evolution in general seems very unlikely, based on how the writers seem to like to have that goofball they can easily market, just like Piplup and Oshawott became, sadly. Secondly, there's absolutely no indication that Clemont would ever give Chespin to Ash. They've been together for about 90 episodes or so and there's never been any hints.

: Also, I know it is highly unlikely, but we can see that the Zygarde Core is with Ash and his team in the bottom right picture. Maybe Ash's last Pokémon is Zygarde. (I said it was unlikely.)
I want that to happen so badly
I think i am gonna get bashed for being insane

Litleo would seem to fit the mold of Ash's current catches. Right now he has the 4 fastest evolution lines in the Kalos region. Getting Litleo would give him 5 of the 6 fastest lines, with the only one he doesn't have being the Heliolisk line(which would never happen because of Pikachu). Not saying it would be the greatest team makeup, but it would follow the pattern. On it's own, I think a Litleo/Pyroar could be beastly with Ash. With it's speed and move set it is a perfect fit for Ash's battle style.

Litwick I'm not too sure about. I can't see it going to Ash or Serena, and it doesn't make much sense with Clemont; but maybe they make it another Bonnie pokemon.

Litleo is an option. I don't expect Ash to a full team of speedy pokemon though. I'll be happy if he gets one of the following:
Phantump, Bergmite, Espurr, Skiddo, Honedge or Litleo.

Clemonts Chespin will evolve to Chesnaught in 1 or 2 episodes and he will give it to Ash; for an unkown reason , maybe it will be not obedient enough?

On what basis would it end up with Ash? I might've agreed 40 episodes ago, but right now I'm not seeing how this is likely. :x

Litwik seems like a good Pokemon for James. He needs a team change, his last was Inkay all the way at the freaking start of the series. Since Inkay will most likely not evolve due to Malamar, he deserves a new capture over everyone else. Especially Clemont, that guy doesn't have a purpose anymore he should have been left behind in Lumiose

And Litleo..... unless the Litleo we saw returns I don't want Ash getting one. That one was perfect for him.

Exactly right with Chespin, and it's already been proven that Noibat will evolve Noivern. The only question on Ash's team left is his last Pokémon, and it's not Chespin/Chesnaught.

chespin had a dream of becomming a Chesnaught. Plus in the game you get a fully evolved starter oposite from your rival, the nearest rival is Clemont , that means that Ash wont get a Kanto pokemon obviously, he has a fire pokemon, grass would make sense + he has many fast pokemons but none with good defence.

Did we had a hint with Buizel and Dawn switch with Aipom?

Yes.

Before Ash even caught Aipom, they showed us Aipom's desire to do contests. Ash wasn't doing contests, so having a Pokemon who liked contests, didn't make sense.

Buizel then was caught by Dawn and really liked to battle. Thus they ultimately were traded with each other.

Unfortunately it MAKES no logical sense for Clemont to give away his hypothetical Chesnaught to Ash, except for bias.

it depends what hapens next and what the creators want, theoretically
Chespin wanting to evolve means it likes to battle and Clemont being a 4 badge level Gym leader means that he will loose contol over it at some point.

I'd like to see Iris return with a Gabite and I would love to see Serena catch a Snowrunt; hopefully soon :)

I don't see why he'd lose control of it. I mean Brock was an even weaker Gym Leader than Clemont and yet he never lost control of his fully evolved Pokemon. :confused:

Ash's rival is Scottie, who will have a fully evolved Sceptile that can mega-evolve. Brock never had a fully evolved starter, and neither did Cilan. The girls did, so Serena will probably get Delphox at one stage. Brock did get Mudkip, but it never got to be a Swampert. Scottie is Ash's rival, not Clemont. Can you imagine a big, tall and bulky Chesnaught stealing everyone's Pokepuffs and chasing around Eevee/Sylveon? I can't.

I think Axew dreamed of being a Haxorus but it never evolved. A dream can be just a dream. If Chespin is evolving then it should of done so already. If it does evolve then it be only once.

Chespin is the new Oshawott. He's luckily doomed to be Chespin forever.
And a good thing too. Chesnaught is too good for Clemont

I could have sworn that it was Pikachu and Meowth having the dream? Unless you meant in the segment, which was a nightmare by Darkrai anyway.

Also, I wouldn't compare the game and the anime too much, the anime has Pokemon able to know certain moves that aren't even possible for them and plenty of other differences. Plus, I also don't really think Ash and Clemont are rivals; a rival to Ash would be someone who goes around collecting badges to get into the league like him.

a gym leader that battled him is a rival and not only a friend in some sense.

They battled because it was a Gym Battle and the battle at the start of XY does not make them rivals. They were just battling because Ash wanted to battle Clemont, simply because Ash likes to battle people. And I'm sorry but Clemont's Chespin will not evolve in 1-2 episodes. Also, that dream was just that, a dream. Dreams are not premonitions of the inevitable.

Now that Greninja as arrived, we can look at Noibat and Eevee now. Noibat needs some development before the writers consider evolution. Eevee could easily evolve into Sylveon any time it wants because of it's method of evolving. As for 6th capture for Ash: Honedge, Phantump, Skiddo or Espurr are options for him.

Hmm, I don't know about Espurr, but I like the idea of a Phantump or Honedge. I say otherwise for Espurr because I'm still holding onto a thread of hope that someday next year there will be an episode of Serena getting her fourth, that being an Espurr.

She said she would like a Meowstic before so eh, I'm just going with that.

I really hope Noibat's gonna get what it deserves: MORE FOCUS!

I would really hate for it to evolve after like, one episode or something.
