Which they've never been able to do successfully (lookin' at you BW, and that was only 9 that Ash caught there as opposed to Goh's 107,) so I don't have confidence they ever will.
)I would love to see something like that. Just make sure to age him up a few years. He doesn't have to be eighteen and there doesn't even have to be a timeskip. Just have it be that he is stated to be 13 or 14 at the start of the series (which would fit quite well, at least him being 13, if went with one episode equaling one day on average). Heck, for animating him, you could reuse the look, or at least physical structure, of XY Ash with maybe a few slight modifications and have that be good for him since XY Ash most certainly did look to be older than ten and quite possibly a young teenager.
We have children in this Universe who are Gym leaders (eg Clemont, Allister) or Champion (Iris), so a 10-year-old teacher would not be weird.
The fact tat they've been more than willing to change Goh's main partner is a big reason why I don't want them to do that with the Paldea starters. That would just be repeating the same mistake with giving Goh multiple starter Pokemon in the first place. It would also make it more likely for the Paldea starters to not get more attention, development or battles if the Galar starters are any indication. Plus, I think that replacing Goh's main partner in Journeys in itself has been a huge mistake. I really liked his connection to Cinderace and while their bond is still there, having Cinderace mostly on the sidelines so that Sobble and now Grookey could be on Goh's shoulders feels like something important was lost. It just isn't a good way of handling multiple starters.
Penny.
The only way I could see that happening is if they keep the world tour formula, but then it would be odd for Go/Koharu to be written out entirely. Unless they become recurring characters traveling separate from Ash on their own path. Besides that with the PWC coming to a close it would be weird to end it if the series is still going.
Still think he should be mentor for another main character..
I dont think Flying move is the best option as a new type coverage. Dig / Extreem speed/ Play Rough are better options mainly because Aerial Ace is kind of another tackle and he already jumped alot to make attacks from above. It could feel like a downgrade in animation.
Who knows? He might........
With Ash most certainly losing to Cynthia or Leon, it would be odd if he gave up on his goal. There will be a new PWC season with focus on Tetastal strategies (although the anime is so flexible with types to begin with).
Wait, was there a leak that indicated he is losing to Cynthia or Leon? I haven't been following anime leaks that closely.
I haven't heard of any leaks, just this from the soundtrack that has people saying he'll lose.
I think people took that one out of context. He is not losing to Cynthia. But she is going to thrash him so badly that maybe he starts to despair and think he's a goner, at least until Lucairo saves the day.
Nah, no one's getting it. Don'cha remember what happens to bikes around Pikachu? We don't need his next victim to be a living being.
