If this means Ho-oh will get proper showcasing, then let's hope.

This means Ho-Oh will be mentioned... nothing more
"Oh, this League uses Ho-Oh's flame? Cool! Reminds me of the Johto League..."
Then we quickly get done with the torch instead of doing a big deal of it like before and actually start the League in the same ep

And the fact the group arrive at Suzuran Island in the Buck ep and then the next ep with Ash's older Poké has "evening before the big battles" or whatever it was in the title... it's pretty obvious now that the League will start in the first ep of July and will make it the first time (at least since AG, not completely sure about original series) that a movie in Japan was released between eps that it wouldn't make sense to happen there

Also, I expect two breaks in July based on what usually happened in that month due to the new movie being released and the last movie being aired
So I expect 3 eps in July, 4 eps in August and then September will have 4 last eps of DP (assuming BW will start in the final week of September, if it'll be earlier in September than make September just 2-3 DP eps)

So it's most likely 11 eps after DP182 until DP's end
DP 181 - the twerps arrive at Suzuran Island
DP 182 - Ash meet his Oak'd Poké and prepare to the League
That would make it so DP 183 can immediately start with the League - all they need is torch and rivals meeting, which could even happen at the end of DP182

July:
DP 183 - first half of the ep: rivals meeting, torch stuff, preliminaries start and at least one battle of Ash is already shown
DP 184 - Ash finish the preliminaries and same for all his rivals (all win their preliminaries too, other than Allan and Leona if they're there)
DP 185 - Ash VS Conway: Ash win

August:
DP 186 - Paul VS Barry: Paul win
DP 187 - Ash VS Nando: Ash win, using team and battle style similar to Dawn's, also using Counter Shield since Zoey proved you have to be prepared for sleep attacks against Nando
DP 188-189: Ash VS Paul: Ash wins

September:
DP 190-191 - Ash VS legendary user: Ash lose, legendary user wins the League, Paul admit he was wrong, get his Soothe Bell back, possibly get Infernape back, all rivals get their conclusion and leave
DP 192-193: Dawn meet Zoey and Ursula and find out they're going to the same region Kenny went, Dawn decide to leave to go after her rivals and join Kenny on his journey, Brock reveals his new dream and leave, Ash go back to Pallet and then decide to leave to Isshu (probably because the legendary user talked about the region and used Poké from there)
BW 1 - focus mostly on BW girl, Ash only being at the very end of the ep, BW girl is a Coordinator and start with Mijumaru which is immediately treated as an out of ball mascot

I honestly believe this is how everything will happen... it makes sense by what we know so far
I'd love for Dawn to have a tag battle with Ash, a tag battle with Zoey, a battle against Fantina AND a lose to Ursula - but I can't see the time for anything more than one of these to happen, which will probably be Ash & Dawn tag battle (probably Pikachu & Piplup)

Sadly I don't think Ursula will appear again, even though I want her to.

I agree Ash/Dawn will have a tag battle, but I wonder if it will be against Paul and Zoey.

As unlikely as it is, I still hope we'll see Holly again and that she'll be connected to Brock's new dream
In that case, the best way to end DP would be Ash & Dawn VS Brock & Holly and end it in a tie
Holly left because she blamed herself for her and Brock's lose at the tag battles tournament and Joy said she left in order to become a better partner for Brock - tying with Ash (half of the tag team who beat her and Brock) would prove Holly did improve a lot since then, but still needs to train more and now Brock will be there to help her
It will give one last battle together for the whole DP trio, with Holly thrown there for plot reasons

Of course, that's another good idea the writers will sadly choose not to do =\
I'd like such a battle to be Pikahu & Piplup VS Croagunk & Wingull/Pelipper or a new BW bird (since Holly IS based on the Bird Keeper game trainers...)

Now THAT'S interesting, though mostly because I'm an AgainstShipper, but that's a different subject. :sweatlol:

July and August also has the problem with baseball games preempting episodes every so often. We'll probably get a few double episodes in the league. Also, there was a one week break between AG192 and DP001, which I think they may do again. Along with a few episodes at the start of BW.

And speaking of the Soothe Bell... yeah. Forgot about that. Been almost 3 years since we've even heard of those. Would've been nicer if they were used for their purpose instead of as mementos 3 years later. Given to Buneary, nicer than a vest.

NOOOOO

Anyway, I think it's pretty obvious that Ash/Dawn are gonna have a tag batle against someone. Brock/Holly would be nice, or on a more amusing note Barry/Zoey.

They can have a tag battle in Isshu as not much time remains, League conclusion, Pallet reunion, etc.

You know speaking of buneary if it doesn't evolve i wonder if it will be reluctant to leave (assuming Dawn does.) due to it's Pikachu crush.

I won't be suprised if Buneary will not be out of her Pokeball when Dawn leaves.

However she should be.

In my opinion the whole "Buneary crush on Pikachu" thing is only a DP fad that only had one really big moment with Phione. Since then its felt like nothing major has happened with it. This motif within the show will disappear when the new saga begins.

I personally hope that we see Mimirol screaming and being dragged away from Pikachu. The vest would be destroyed also.
A guy can dream though...
Oh and a prediction, Piplup will mention his idea about a date episode in his next post here.

That would be good

That would be better.

The Buneary/Pikachu was shown many times throughout Sinnoh, so I think it should get some closure. It's DP, continuity has been a constant...

maybe IF buneary evolves into lopunny then it might get over its crush on pikachu
