i dont see why people want him to catch every starter again. it takes away the surprise, and variety he can get. he only catches maybe six pokemon a region now and taking away three spots for starters seems rather dull.
i loved that he got torcoal and corphish, and buizel though for some reason he has problems evolving any water pokemon. but anyway unless they all have unique typing (not grass/poison, or fire/ground, or water/ice and so on) i dont want him to have more then on of them.

yes on that i agree with you completely but from what is seen it appear he capture all three because it seem he is on a spree which ends when try to capture Iris's hair then he show all his pokemon.

Just thats exactly what it looks like if i am wrong good but highly unlikely.
He also most likely going to catch more pokemon than usually it seem to be going kanto style one sign being the hat style and the turning backwards.

I think Ash might get just Mijumaru and Pokabu. I mean Mijumaru obviously because of the previews but Pokabu looks like it's in the same gym match as well so we'll see.

Tsutarja could be Shooti's. And of course, Iris and Dento have Kibago and Yanappu respectively.

So here's what I think we'll see in the first few episodes:

Ash
Pikachu
Mijumaru
Mamepato
Pokabu

Iris
Kibago

Dento
Yanappu

Shooti
Tsutarja

Someone's gonna get Koromori due to the leaked concept art sheet and it could be Iris or Jessie so there's also that.

I'm thinking that Iris could get Koromori, Jessie can get Kurumiru (a la Wurmple), and then James can get Munna as his new cute psychic pokemon.

i dont want ash to get Tsutarja, it's too much like treeko and wouldn't seem right. I think he'll get mijumaru and not pokabu. For his fire type, he'll most likely get Darumakka or an unreleased pokemon.

steel
ghost

I want Ash to get all three starters and before you say that doesn't a lot for surprise it is pretty easy to guess which pokemon he gets if he doesn't get the starter. I also want Ash to capture more than six pokemon in this region like he did in Kanto so it would be more predictable because back then he captured some pokemon that I would have never guessed he would(Muk and Primeape)

It would be awesome if he caught a ghost type in Isshu. It would be a lot cooler than him catching a rock type.:bounce::banana:

And we all saw what happened to them.

I think it's best to keep the number around six-ish per Region. The writers seem fairly comfortable with that and I wouldn't want ridiculous things like him catching 30 Tauros to go on again.

I'd like it if Ash only catches Mijumaru out of the starters to hopefully give him some additional variety. I really liked AG for that - with only 1 starter, we got some great additional Pokes like Torkoal and Corphish. Both were pretty awesome. Plus, I'm really hoping that Iris and Dento both have plenty of focus so that their Pokes, which would include a starter, will also gain focus as the end result.

i agree, I don't want Ash to catch like 20 pokemon but I don't want him to catch only 5. It would be cool if he catches 7-10 and doesn't release any but instead he switches off his pokemon. :cheers:

You guys realise Iris isn't the main character from the game which means (she not from the sametown as prof whats herface or the starting town what is called) and Dento is a gym who already has pokemon he still might get pokemon but not much like 1-3.

The writers are shifting the focus back to Ash , last two gens they tried to focus on two main characters and ending some how making the show just about their pokemon and not them, making the trainers background characters to their pokemon.

This is also the reason six pokemon seemed enough last region, the time was split between both trainers pokemon making it a mess they tried to redeem themselve's in the end of sinnoh and now in isshu.

Just because Iris isn't the main girl in the game doesn't mean she cant be from the starting town. Shooti is from the starting town in the anime and probably wont appear in the game. Paul was from Veilstone City but he never appeared in the games. Just because Dento is a gym leader doesn't put a limit on the amount of pokemon he can capture. I'm guessing he has 1 or 2 pokemon to start out with and will probably capture around 3 more by the time Isshu is finished

And we all saw what happened to them.
What happened to them? Only Butterfree and Pidgeot were released, Primeape was left to train and the others got good battles in the league except for Tauros who came back for the Drake battle in OI and took out Drake's Venusaur. With the way the writing has improved over the last 12 years I'm sure the writers could handle Ash capturing more then 6 pokemon per region

I'd rather have quality over quantity. Like Ash catches 5 pokemon and fully develop them.

Even with 5-6 pokemon, the writers have a hard time juggling screentime and development. One pokemon usually becomes a fall guy like Torkoal and Torterra for instance. So hopefully since the writers are improving each gen, we'd get some great screentime for each of Ash's new pokemon and if he has only 5 new captures in the region so that it'd be easier to do that, I'd be cool with it.

i see what your saying but i think if Ash only caught 5 or 6 pokemon it could actually become predictable or boring. If thats the case, however, I hope he uses his old pokemon like in the sinnoh league. Maybe he should also work on developing Totodile, Gible, and others like Tauros, while he goes through Isshu. :yahoo:

It wouldn't be boring/too predictable if we see some more development for them. I mean instead of having that one pokemon that doesn't evolve, let's evolve it. Instead of having a fall guy, let's give it some interesting battles and wins. Instead of Oaking or releasing a pokemon for a sixth capture, let's keep that pokemon and see their development onscreen as opposed to offscreen. There's a bunch of things that the writers could do to keep someone's interest on Ash's team without resorting to captures. Again, evos come to mind, as well as new moves, new battling styles (i.e. more things like energy ball/rock climb, volt tail, counter shield type of things), etc.

I want Ash to catch Emonga for some reason. Ash having only one electric type is okay but he could use another one. Right?

Let say it in words you would (should) they are misty and brock all over again they were mainly just surpport for ash. why would a gym leader do the same as a beginner.
and paul and shooti arent main characters.

All that i said was from evidence, most of you know what you say is highly unlikely it just wishful thinking, and you know i have a point.

before you bring a next groundless point the game has alot to do with the anime.
I bet you dont reason well no just pokemon, i dont care if what i said happens or not it just highly likely, if you dont think so pick a point i tell you how i came to that conclusion.
Here one before you ask here one Iris was in the forest (not a town) with a the dragon(her starting pokemon) so it safe say she was already going somewhere, and since she has the dragon why would she choose a starter.

Learn to reason and dont overestimate the writers.
Then again i could be wrong and this would have been a waste(still is) .

But do you people seriously think i dont have a point?

It doesn't really matter since even if Ash doesn't get the starter of a specific type it's pretty easy to guess what he will get. Take Sinnoh for example, Turtwig was the only grass type that would fit with Ash IMO. He had to get Chimchar because I could not see him with a Magmortar. Without Piplup he has two choices, Buizel and Shellos and Buizel fits him a lot more. We know the starters are gonna be strong and probably well developed and thats why I want Ash to capture all three again because by the time the Isshu league rolls around I would like to see him with three fully evolved starters on his team.


Also did anyone else notice that if Ash doesn't capture something in the final two episodes this will be the first (for lack of a better word) season that he doesn't make a capture

Ash didn't capture anything in Johto League Champions. I agree with you on the predictability of Ash's lineup, though the fact that there'll only be Isshu pokemon in the Isshu dex lets me thinks we might get more choices than before.

He captured a Beedrill. Sure he gave it away in the same episode but he still captured it. Yeah hopefully your right about the more choices. One of the scenes made it look like Ash will capture the seasonal deer. I do think someone will capture it just not Ash

Technicality...

Yeah hopefully your right about the more choices.

Though water seems to be Mijumaru, I don't see him with lovefish or pissy swan. Unless they reveal another water poke, I see him getting Mijumaru.

Pokabu/Hihidaruma could go either way

Broccoli x Aipom lovechild going to Dento makes me think Ash'll get Smugleaf, but same as Mijumaru, without having seen the complete Isshu dex, I can't say for sure.

As long as Sarcophagus and Gothic doll stay the hell away from his lineup, I'm cool.

One of the scenes made it look like Ash will capture the seasonal deer. I do think someone will capture it just not Ash

If Dento really is a grass type leader, I might see it go to him, though my gible sense tells me it'll be Iris. Though if it has an evolution inspired by a moose, a reindeer or this legendary being (sorta like in Princess Mononoke), sign me up for Ash catching one.
