Assuming they continue Ash's journey, what old pokemon do you think he will bring on his next adventure?

We were talking about it so, I think Pikachu obviously and I hope Gible maybe he will get split evo, or Totodile, if of course he doesn't evolve at League.


I'm not answering "What Pokes Dawn will bring to new region if she stays", she already promised her Pokemon to work together to achieve Top coordinator status, that would be cruel if she would leave them, I'm repeating myself now.

I would lov eit if he brought Totodile to the next region, but I really don't want to see it get Aipomed so... Gible with a split evo would be a gen V pokémon, so it'd stay until the end. Otherwise, I don't think Totodile or Gible should accompany Ash.

This is the main thing that's making me think that Dawn won't stay through to gen V. That she promised her pokémon that they would train for the next GF. Unless Buneary and Pachirisu get gen V evo... but even then, I don't see Mamoswine, Cyndaquil or Tegkiss staying.

Eh, Dawn wouldn't be the first to break a promise. Hell, Pidgeot is still waiting for Ash to come and get him.

Im sure Ash said the same thing to his other pokemon. She can always call them back to certain occasions.

But it's FORESHADOWING... We never saw Ash say anything of the sort. But since Every Little Thing is foreshadowing. Maybe this means something.

I hope they have a four-person group next saga but it probably won't happen. :/ Though if it does, everyone in the group should have Pokemon instead of just three of them.

A four person group would be nice. Better yet, just have two girls and two guys. Ash, and B/W girl are shoe ins. As for the othr two....I have not clue. Hopefully not Brock.

What would ya'll think if they didn't get rid of Brock??

I wouldn't mind, I dont know why but if Brock left the anime would be the same for some reason. He stayed for the last couple of years he isnt going to leave now.However if the writers wished to replace him with a new character but give him a cameo now and then I'll be happy.

Haha I wouldn't be surprised either. But maybe the writers got the picture by now.

And speaking of the Soothe Bell... yeah. Forgot about that. Been almost 3 years since we've even heard of those.

There's absolutely no reason at all to ever mention the Soothe Bell other than the episode where Paul changes

Also... about the "3 years since last saw them" - Jessiebelle, Thunderstone... not to mention Ash and Gary's Pokéball who wasn't mentioned at all until these eps

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.

Their purpose isn't evolution - they're not an evolution stone =\
Their purpose in games is the increase friendship between humans and Pokémon (which can be done with Poké who can't evolve by friendship) and in the anime they seem to create a soothing sound and are a symbol of friendship
Much better to use them for the Ash/Paul plot rather than an evolution...

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

I alredy proved how it's likely that we'll get final 2 eps AFTER the League so there's more than enough time for a tag battle and a rushed Pallet visit

Seeing how it hasn't yet evolved, and it evolves through happiness, it's safe to say it could have used it.

The writers emphasized a lot how close Dawn and Buneary are, they even have a similar personality (for example, in the Mamoswine/Aggron ep, Buneary couldn't sleep - just like Dawn, while the other Poké had no problem... then we also have eps like Hearthome Collection...)
So no, Dawn and Buneary don't need any bell to have a very high level of friendship... if anything, CHIMCHAR should've used it to make its bonding with Ash easier
Of course, the writers probably realize how ridiculous it'd be to say the friendship between human and a Poké get better thanks to the Poké holding a bell... so they just chose to make the bells a symbol of friendship

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.

Buneary will definitely show some reaction to leaving Pikachu
What I hope to see is the bunny making Pika promise that it'll never fall in love in any other Poké and wait for it... and Pika will agree, since it knows it'll never fall in love with anyone (bunny included) just like Ash
I can even see Dawn ask Buneary what it'd prefer the do and the bunny choose Dawn over Pika

Oh and a prediction, Piplup will mention his idea about a date episode in his next post here.

I gave up on a Pika/Bunny date ep, since there's no time for it to happen (or for anything other than the League and one/two final eps which will end the DP series)
But it IS extremely stupid they didn't do it... it could be a very funny ep (and I'd make Bunny learn a new attack in that ep too)

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

Why do people keep thinking Bunny might evolve? If the writers wanted it to evolve, it'd happen by now... and they wouldn't give Nando a Lopunny...
Also, look at the various merchandise, watch the Pichu ending, Dotchi Nyo ending... Buneary is like a fourth mascot to Pikachu/Piplup/Croagunk (of course Pika and Pip are the main mascots, but Croagunk and Buneary are treated like secondary mascots of DP)
And mascots never evolve

probably, but I still don't understand why they bothered putting her in the opening theme song when she wasn't even going to make a cameo

It was a scene showing all the previous main characters + Gary/Oak/Delia
Max didn't have a proper appearance in DP either... same for Tracey...
Tracey will get a tiny appearance in Pallet and Misty might get one too (I hope for Max (and May) in Pallet too, but I admit there's no time for a big reunion... so I expect a rushed Pallet ep with only Misty having a chance to be there)

Or maybe Dawn will give it away to Ash so it can go with him and Pika to Isshu, just like Aipom followed him into Sinnoh.

I doubt Buneary would choose Pikachu over Dawn and I doubt they'd make Ash get a gen 4 Poké and take it to BW... unless it has a new evolution and Buneary is unlikely to get one

Max did, but for like 2 seconds, Tracey will probably reappear near the end of DP

If you count it, then Tracey appeared in the first DP ep too... and if you count that, then Misty will 99% get a cameo watching the Sinnoh League

This might be unrelated, but have you seen Misty, animated, wearing a red dress, smacking Brock with a paper fan? That just popped into my head & i can't recall that EVER being used in the show.

That was part of the Pokémon Housou show... a show that included these Misty/Brock scenes and was mostly live action, sometimes airing old eps and rarely aired brand new "side story" eps (which were dubbed together with some other stuff as "Pokémon Chronicles")
Now there's a new similar show Pokémon Sunday, but there's no animation scenes like these Misty/Brock ones and brand new anime eps almost never air (they aired the last 2 MD eps and the 2 four-minutes Ranger eps, that's it)

How do you think the starters should be distributed among the main cast?

Ash: Tsutaja
BW girl Coordinator: Mijumaru (out-of-ball never-evolving mascot, from the very first ep)
BW boy: Pokabu
If they prefer all starters to be owned by the stars, then Pokabu will go to either Ash or BW girl in addition to their other starter

That took me like a whole year to write this post X_X I really should stop going through 32523 pages and just read the last 2 XD

I keep thinking back to how the B&W characters were "older". While we don't know by how much, I'll safely say they're around Brock's age. And if that's the case, then Brock can leave, the B&W girl can come in & kinda take his place. She'd be flirty, like Brock, but would do more story-wise since she's based off an in-game character. Not sure about the 3rd person though.......maybe another anime-exclusive like Max.

Haha a flirty girl? Then we'll ahve a bunch of feminists saying "Women don't act that way and it's demeaning"

:sweatlol: I was afraid of that, but there are plenty of other things in Pokemon that offend people. Would a flirty girl be totally out there?
