Looked at the new ending, and it doesn't really indicate who will catch the Noibat and the Eevee. All we know is that both will be caught by members of the main cast (not TRio) for different reasons:
1) Noibat showed up after Fletchinder but before Wobbuffet and TRio's Pokémon on the character list for the short on TV TOKYO.
2) TRio's Pokémon were shown on the sidelines of the stage. Noibat and Eevee were shown with the protagonist Pokémon on the center stage.
People are going about saying the Noibat belongs to Ash because of X and Eevee belongs to Serena because of Y. But we don't have proof of either yet. Both Pokémon were featured alongside Pokémon belonging to many characters at many points in the ending. The Noibat shot with TRio's Pokémon also had Bunnelby and Pikachu in it. The Eevee shot with Braixen and Pancham also had Chespin, Dedenne, and Gourgeist in it.
And Jessie's Pokémon is apparently a Gourgeist. I have no clue why the anime and the manga contradict so much, but anime trumps over manga canon so...
Noibat was also seen in the ending among Ash's team, so it looks like Ash will get it.
Dedenne was shown in that shot as well. That image was from the last few seconds of the ending in which all of the main cast's Pokemon gather at once in no particular order. So, it doesn't confirm Noibat at all.
I think it does.
Despite Dedenne being in that one shot it is undeniable that all the Pokemon there do belong to Ash, with Eevee not being there but there is Noibat. It would be odd for that shot to contain almost all but one of Ash's Pokemon, and Ash's last Pokemon (say Eevee) is in a different area in the shot.
Logically that points to Noibat being captured by Ash. Especially the placement of Hawlucha, in that one shot we actually see Hawlucha, but when it pans out Chespin actually replaces Hawlucha in that one location, however Chespin prior to that was not seen at all which honestly makes it clear to me that the one shot is supposed to indicate Ash's Pokemon (otherwise that one shot would have shown Chespin and not Hawlucha)
Why then Dedenne? Well Dedenne is pretty small, and since its in every episode, I think that's why Dedenne is there. Further more I would find it ridiculous if Ash did not catch a Pokemon, because it would further ruin the writing of the anime and the timeline of events in regards to captures and releasing Goodra, having Noibat and Eevee belong to other people would just be plain idiotic.
Finally to address the Eevee in the room. Given that there is less indication for it going to Ash, it has no choice but to go to Serena, because why would there be no indication Eevee goes to Ash on top of that Serena is indeed the character that needs another Pokemon (after Ash of course).
Looking at what we know I think its safe to say that unless the executive producers/animators were going crazy insane, Noibat for Ash, Eevee for Serena. And Ash and Serena are the only ones with said Pokemon.
