If it's just Ash, B/W girl, and Brock next season.........ugh.
I kinda wanna see a fourth character involved like Max was. Heck, tbh, I think it would be sorta cool to have Max back. If there are ever 3rd gen remakes it would be a nice nod to have a 3rd gen character back. And it's not like we need May around since May already stated she wants to travel solo. Maybe it could be Max's turn to finally go off as a trainer and he meets up with Ash? And if the writers are going to be consistent with age and actually acknowledge it, they might want a younger character if B/W girl is older.
But eh, it's a pretty crazy idea and to be realistic I really doubt it would happen. Just something I random came up and was wondering about.
Although I really do sorta wanna see a 4 person group again.
