Mr.Mime, Dragonite , Gengar
All of Ash's pokemon
and next Riolu

@FinnishPokéFan92 the entire convo went:

(Which Pokémon will he get was the question asked)

Which isn’t really useful information since he has already caught One Pokémon per circle, but I guess this discussion should be ended anyway since everyone has put across their points.

So this may be the better spot to discuss that stuff.
This is interesting because this is from Pokemon Shitori theme which is being played from starting of this series.

I know, and I don’t know what’s interesting about it since Ash already has one Pokémon from each circle.

 

[dawn dusk]

I know, and I don’t know what’s interesting about it since Ash already has one Pokémon from each circle.

Because one circle is remaining.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

Because one circle is remaining.

Which one? There are 5 circles and each one has a Pokémon Ash captured:
Riolu, Gengar, Pignite, Mr. Mime, Dragonite.

 

[RileyXY1]

I don't know if Ash would bring back the Unova starters.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I don't know if Ash would bring back the Unova starters.

I don’t know who said he would...

Pignite? Why?
That's not a new series capture.
I mean he may get Magmar or the other one among that except Pignite

 

[thomaswiencek]

Pignite? Why?

I meant that Pignite is one of Ash's reserved Pokémon on one of the circles.

 

[dawn dusk]

Why only Pignite?
I think it has no connection with Ash's one

It is still a Pokemon owned by Ash and we have no way of knowing whose Pignite that is. It’s safe to assume that there are no new captures in there. That circle, also contains no Pokémon which appear in merchandise often except Yamper.

@abcboy noticed on Twitter than the Pokemon at the end are just following the Shiritori theme and probably aren't meant to indicate captures:

Karakara->Rabifuto->Toranceru (for Go)
Cuwawa->Wanpachi->Chikorita (for Koharu)
Sarunori->Riolu->Lurarugan (for Ash)

Of course, it's surprising that for the Go part they chose Pokémon he already owns, but Ash's Grookey or Lycanroc returning shouldn't be taken as confirmed.

Yup. Noticed that myself too earlier today.

Yeah someone in one of the other threads pointed this out. It's like a play on words and shouldn't be taken seriously as an indicator of future captures. So hopefully the 'Ash's Lycanroc is coming back!' stuff can end now but of course it won't.

 

[Daren]

I think it's Ash's Lycanroc but that doesn't guarantee it'll return; don't forget the Battle Frontier opening showing Pidgeot.

That said I wouldn't discount it with how recent SuMo was and him leaving his Alola party with Kukui and Burnett makes them easy to reintroduce when we go there.

Didn't they also show Butterfree once?

 

[Daren]

Didn't they also show Butterfree once?

Yep, and it's mate. Looking at Bulbapedia the Japanese version (Spurt) seemed to have an entire section dedicated to released Pokémon (which included Larvitar and Tyranitar). The BF opening was sort of a continuity-fest, looking back.

 

[thomaswiencek]

Excuse please, I'm just wanting to know why you think that Ash has left his entire Alolan party at Professor Kukui's home instead of at Professor Oak's Laboratory?

 

[Panky..]

Unlike past teams who were always traveling with Ash, his Alola team stayed at a place that became a home to them, even more so after Ash's departure and Burnet's pregnancy being revealed. Pulling them out of that home of theirs only to dump them into a new environment would have been cruel, hence leaving them at Kukui's was the best option.

Oh, yeah. I guess you're right. But sadly, it is unknown whether any of Ash's Pokémon in the Alolan party will reappear or be cut for any kinds of reason in the 2019 new series after Sun and Moon, and it is also unknown whether or not Ash's Melmetal will Gigantamax for the first time. But we'll see. Thanks for your response.

What do you mean when you say "cut for any kinds of reason"?? Do you mean that the writers might not show them during the Alola episodes that we'll get in the future or that they'll literally disappear for good? Because if this is one of your "deleted from existence" ideas then I'll just say now that it's not going to happen.
