Braixen probably won't evolve, but I can see Braixen returning as a Delphox if Serena ever returns for a couple episodes in the Sun and Moon series. With how Iris hasn't shown up though, it seems a little less likely, though she was never popular.

I just want to see Ash get another capture. If there's one thing that has bugged me about XY, its that they've taken ages to get Ash a full team. Last series we had so many captures that there was little balance. This series we have very few captures...And still little balance cause poor Noivern is so underused its painful.

May's Combusken evolved towards the end of the Battle Frontier, so there is still a chance for Braixen to evolve into a Delphox. However, I do like Braixen more so I'll be happy if it doesn't evolve.

I don't see ^ happening. I would have loved it if she got a full team, but it's too late now. I wouldn't be surprised if Ash didn't catch another Pokemon, let alone Serena. I want her to, but it's unlikely.

Aww :( but it is sad if Serena finishes her run on the series with only 3 poke. four is a t least more decent.

I wouldn't rule Serena from getting another Pokemon before the end of the series and if she doesn't, she could catch one in a special episode after the series, like what happened in Iris's special episode after BW.

Any ideas what will his 6th pokemon will be?

Maybe Ash Goodra returns or he gets grass/gosht pokemon, steel, or fairy for the first time

I'm kinda hoping that they'll keep Serena at least for another region and have her develop a bit further but I doubt it. I am interested to see just how Ash will get another Pokemon, if Sliggo doesn't return.

I could possibly see it being Trevenant, but if they were going to go that route, they probably would have done it the first time Ash encountered one. If it were Bergmite it would seem a little like Snorunt all over again, ice type near the end of the quest, maybe evolves (early) just before the league, not particularly helpful and never gets much of a spotlight. What might be better at this point would be a Pokemon that could get some attention post Kalos (like join him in new region) because there will be so little time for development, like maybe a Gen VII Pokemon. There aren't many Kalos Pokemon left to choose from that haven't already been featured in some way.

I was looking at areas Ash and the crew haven't been to yet in Kalos and what can be caught there in the game (not that this has ever had any bearing in the anime) and there weren't a lot of winners (and many of the Pokemon obtainable have already been heavily featured in the past), but one thing I noticed was that Zoroark could be caught in route 20 and the Pokemon Village. That would be a interesting type of catch that could show how advanced of a trainer Ash is and potentially be an impact contributor to his league team without much training. I am almost starting to think Ash may not get a sixth Pokemon, which bodes well for him using past Pokemon in the Kalos league. I personally don't think Goodra will come back, but I wouldn't totally rule it out.

Oooh, that's a totally out of left field catch... I do like the sound of that and it's infinitely better than the uber cliché "Ash catches a Riolu" theories from the Sinnoh days.

Back when the series started I would of imagined Ash catching a Skiddo, but when he caught Noibat that idea became less likely I doubted then that Ash would catch a team of Alexa's pokemon. Honestly at this point I couldnt imagine who's next.

I was earlier hoping that he'd catch a Small Size Pumpkaboo so we could have some regular contrast with Jessie's one in addition to him having a fast√ Gen VI√ Grass type√ once it evolved, but that was just wishful thinking. After all, Pokémon Yellow made a big deal about making the TRio's Pokémon lines unobtainable (It's why I won't play Yellow, Persian is non-negotiable).

I say it is quite possible that Goodra could return for the League to give Ash a little more powerhouse strength as he is going to need 6 for his team eventually. Now that I think about it, Sawyer never encountered Ash's Goodra before...

or they will make him have a free rotation space for the league?

Or is it part of somebodies Propaganda, to take people their freedom to use free cultural goods?"

That's a 14-minute 4D short. I was referring to the standard short that was shown on ANA flights that year.
I share that sentiment.
The ANA shorts weren't advertised early on at all, unlike the shorts that were actually tied to movies.
That's only true for the shorts that were actually shown in theaters, and for the 2004 and 2009 shorts if you insist (the posters were meant for the main movies that featured Plusle, Minun and Spiky-eared Pichu, but I digress).
Nope, but you're just going to repeat yourself like a broken record, so this will be my last reply.

Have to side with Playerking on this since you obviously did not read what Playerking said.

You can't just pick and choose what YOU think "PK16" means. If Bulbapedia classifies it as "Pokemon 4D: Pikachu's Ocean Adventure" then that's the one you need to address. You can't just ignore it simply because Wailmer wasn't in PK17 Pikachu's Island Adventure just to prove your point or because PK17 fits your arguments better.

Goodra. And if Ash even gets a new Pokemon at all, it'll have to be sometime after mid-July since nothing implies that he'll catch something before the new movie.

I think it was specifically obvious in XY112 that Serena is going to work with Yoshio as soon as Ash's journey comes to the end in Kalos.
Not that I have much hope (or care, kinda used to it but kinda fun to do as well) of Serena staying but even if she works with Yashio/Palermo , her work could still lead her in S/M (kinda misplaced but until I learn of Sun & Moons region name I go with it) Region. Just saying, although I don't give high chances to things that would be too good for the show (in my view) anyway.
