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.
Hey I think they both should get Meowstic because it could make AmourShipping more great they end up catch the same Pokémon but Ash's should be female & Serena's should be male reasons female Meowstic are better in battles & male Meowstic make a great performing parther plus can be rivals with Miette's Meowstic the same as their Trainers are with each other.

No, absolutely no armor shipping in the anime. Catching the same pokemon doesn't mean anything. Plus it is unlikely that both of them would have the same pokemon, at least not when they are traveling together anyway. Serena can catch some other pokemon but I like Ash to get a new type that he hasn't obtained yet.

I am not sure what that means but I think the Zygarde Core that is with Bonnie is going to leave before the end of Kalos region. Bonnie is still too young to be a trainer and Zygarde Core wasn't caught in a pokeball like Dedenne by Clemont.

I hope it's just shown there due to its possible presence in the Pikachu short and not because it'll leech off of the cast in the main film, 'cause I'm so over Squishy. :/

I highly doubt that Squishy will stick around after the climax in March, especially with the league starting by May. Squishy's presence in the short is probably a liberty just like Wobbuffet's in the Eevee short or May's Torchic's in the last one.

Is that officially confirmed that the league will be by May? It is too late to spend almost six months for one Gym battle.
It's confirmed that the upcoming 2016 preview (which will be shown in two weeks) will show league footage. These previews have never gone more than 6 months into the future.

Where was it confirmed? I didn't hear about it anywhere.

The TV Tokyo website mentioned the league over a month ago:

The mysterious organization named Team Flare that's opposing the group, the secret of Squishy, Ash's league matches, Serena's Tripokalons, as well as the mysterious phenomenon that happens to Ash and a certain Pokémon... Don't take your eyes off Pocket Monsters XY&Z, neither in 2015 nor in 2016!
They didn't mention a preview back then, but now we know that they will show one on December 31st. That should explain the league reference.

It just mentioned to look forward for the league battles in 2016, not that they will show in the preview.

The article for the New Year special just talks about Satoshi vs Alan, TR vs TF and Serena's Tripokalons.

They wouldn't have mentioned the league as early as October if they weren't going to preview it two months later.

The production staff know what is happening next year. Even if the episode aren't even written yet, they plan mostly of events beforehand.

They have no reason to tell us about episodes that are ridiculously far off.

I'm pretty sure episodes have already been written for the league a long time ago, I'm pretty sure they even have animated scenes of the Pokemon league by the time the upcoming episodes preview.

I agree to a point. They MAY tell us about things that they have barely started real production on, if they were going to give us a trailer or preview at a much better time where some of the episodes were already heavily animated.

So if they were in the process of beginning animation for the league for example, and that a large chunk of the league episodes were done after a couple of months, so that they can show us scenes of the Pokemon league within a upcoming episodes preview the next one, then I don't see how impossible it would be.

But no they aren't going to reveal things TOO far in advance if they haven't even realistically started production on it. So no definitely not a year in advance. However not entirely sure about the league, pretty sure there's no reason why it couldn't be April/May/June when it starts.

If we're getting the league in the middle of 2016, I sure do hope Ash will get his final Kalos Pokemon and give Noibat a lot more focus by then.
