I think after BW people have forgotten what it was like when Ash only caught 5-6 pokemon for an entire series.

In Hoenn Ash actually only made 5 captures. In DP he made 6 because he eventually got Gible. Even in Johto he only captured 6 pokemon. I think people need to be "reminded" that Ash usually only captures a small handful of pokemon a saga. It was only BW that went crazy.

If the Kalos saga ends this year, I wouldn't be surprised if no one catches anything and Ash just recalls Goodra to fill his sixth team slot tbh.
If it did, I'd be disappointed Musashi and Kojiro would only have four Pokemon that got true screentime.

It seems likely at this rate, but I much rather would see Ash catch a new Pokemon with a different type to diversify his Kalos team more than it is. Also, while I do think the Kalos League will take place in mere months, we could even end up having a year between the 7th and 8th gym, like we had in DP.

I think there will be Pokemon returning from his previous adventures because he doesn't have enough pokemon (including Goodra, which will most likely not return) that can sustain through all matches in the league. Maybe Sceptile and Charizard will return and play major roles in his league battles. Also i think he will obtain a key stone after TF arc, which will most likely end after the movie as Puni-chan is still with them during this movie. I have got a strong feeling that Sycamore will attend his league battles and will provide mega stones to Ash, which he will likely return after the league.....


Also I think the series will extend to 2017 as the team flare arc will extend after the movie as Puni-chan is still there with the group. Team flare capturing Puni-chan, then Ash and gang rescuing it and Bluni chan, Alain vs Ash(will happen again), Ash and Alain vs Lysandre showdown, AZ coming, Team flare's ultimate goal and all that stuff will probably take it to 2017. We know, the trend has been that new series always start in September-October-November range, I honestly see the new series starting next year because in a year we almost get 52 episodes and almost 12-15 to episodes which have already aired, and we know about are all tri pokalons, evolution and stuff, and combine all the above thing with the league, it wont end this year

Why did he blur the groups Pokemon? I wonder if its because Goodra returned.

Serena and Clemont are unlikely to get any new pokemon this late.

I don't think Goodra is returning but who knows. I rather Ash get Phantump or Bergmite.

Mima said about new development for the protagonist and since he blurred Citron and Eureka I guess he mean Satoshi and Serena.

Well it's been this way for years since Clemont and Bonnie don't progress. Serena's team is done though imo since I'm 99% sure she'll leave by the end of the year.

Indeed he will.....usually by the 2nd or 3rd episode after starting a new region journey. Not only that, let's hope he catch pokemon more often this time....not every 25 to 30 episodes.

With the Gen 7 confirmed I hope they bring Goodra back, there's just no time for a new pokémon capture for Ash and its development, if we go by the new series begins in late December or January 2017 there's roughly 30-34 episodes left for XY&Z, they could still pull a Gible which got about 35 episodes in the cast.

I think after XY&Z, its on to the last set of episodes with the different title logo (a few episodes before Ash's last gym battle, 2/3 filler episodes before Serena going into the final rounds in order to become Kalos Queen (2 or 3 episodes perhaps), a few more filler episodes prior to the league, then the league for Ash (which is usually 7 episodes), and the final few episodes after that (the goodbyes, Ash returned home with his new pokemon and reuniting with his Mom, his other Pokemon and professor Oak).

There hasn't been any hints on another capture for Ash, and he won't leave the region with five in his team. I am hoping for a Goodra return and think that it's becoming more likely.

Craaaaaap. Glad Gen 7 is coming this year, yet disappointed that if TR get new Pokemon, they only have about 30 episodes to actually appear. Same applies to the other Pokemon.

I think it's safe to assume Serena isn't getting any new Pokemon any time soon either.

Can we just give Ash a new Pokemon already. I've been kinda frustrated that he doesn't have a full team yet. He probably won't get one before Wulfric at this rate and Noivern probably isn't suited to fight Wulfric, so of course we'll get the same 4 Pokemon we've had in the gyms all season.

He's obviously not getting a new pokemon this late. Goodra is returning to fill out his 6th slot.

It would kinda defeat the purpose of releasing Goodra. I can't see them bringing Goodra back after leaving Goodra behind with no promise of Ash to come back or anything. This isn't like Squirtle, Charizard, or Gliscor. Also Snorunt was added pretty late in AG if I remember.
