There are other Gyms in Kanto, what makes you think Paul battled Misty? :p

For all we know he could have gotten a badge from Daisy. Paul could have done Kanto while Ash was in Johto.

Misty will probably never meet Paul, mainly cause they have nothing to do with one another.

As I said, just an idea that intrigued me. Plus it was pretty obvious that I meant after Kasumi became the gym leader.

Maybe it's possible to see Oak at the league watching Ash with Brock and Dawn. Assuming that the entire Ash's old pokemon episode features Oak's Sinnoh ranch where all of Ash's Oak'd pokemon are there waiting for him before the league.

Gary is also in Sinnoh still right? Is there a chance he could be watching Ash? Probably on the tv if I have to guess. Then there's Reggie that could make an appearance too. Whether or not he'll attend or just watch tv is another story.

And is it possible for Palmer to make a quick cameo as well. Barry's taking part in the league, maybe Palmer's watching on tv or maybe visits during Barry's last match.

So yeah, I basically realized how there's a potential to see a lot of old characters whether cameo or not.

I feel the opposite, because the rivalries stood for different things. Hikari never had to beat Nozomi to show what she had learned as Nozomi's student. Satoshi does have to beat Shinji to show that his training methods are better.

That's a good point, but if Paul's presence Is ongoing after the League then the storyline will likely continue for a long time (I doubt they could write a better rival for Ash, so he'll probably be somewhat of a permanent cast member)

He'll have his moment of realization about Ash being right all along, but I don't think it'll happen at this League, it hasn't been built up enough.

Still anything could happen. I was also sure that Dawn would win the GF >.>

On a side note: I thought I'd read your post wrong when you said you'd like to see Kasumi at the League. I'd obviously love that (at least she'll be seen watching the League on TV) if nothing else.

Makes a change from people wanting to shit and stamp on her grave.

I wouldn't mind seeing Misty at the league tbqh. Cheerleader outfit. Though I doubt it'll actually happen. I hope the Elite 4 show up at the league, and are seen commenting on Ash's growth.

I wouldn't mind if both the B/W hero and heroine join Ash and possibly Brock to make the Isshu party

Alot of older characters have a reason to be there. The most likely ones in my opinion are Oak and Delia since they have to bring Ash's Pokemon to him. Another likely one is Reggie because he wants to see another full battle between Ash and Paul. If Jasmine fails to illuminate those dying to know how May did in the Johto GF, then maybe she can do it herself if she goes to Sinnoh after Johto she could enter the region through here. Palmer maybe because Barry is competing.

I really wonder if the writers ever plan to pass the torch on. It's only a matter of time before he get's get's to the Elite 4, and wins. What the hel would the do with him then?

Have him challenge other regions and get more badges and the like...

He wouldn't become this unbeatable trainer just by beating the Elite Four.

Well, obviously. I just can't see Ash still hanging around, and losing leagues 10 years from now. They need to close his story.

Do you think when they don that they'll do mostly spin-off stuff? Or will they just quit the anime all together?

I doubt the anime will end anytime soon. I don't think having a reboot with different characters would be so bad. Ash could still make cameos.

When will people realize Pokemon isn't that kind of anime?

Or at least have him win another league again, imo. (I still hope he wins the Sinnoh league.)

The thing about having Ash retire is that we would lose seeing PIkachu in every episode which is the most important pokemon in the franchise. If we were to get a new protagonist and he had a Pikachu it would seem like a rehash of Ash.

Yeah but that would also eliminate every character that they've built up in the past 13 years. Ash, Pikachu, Brock, TR, Dawn, etc would all be gone. Pikachu is the mascot of the franchise and if they just throw a Pikachu with the new lead then it would be just a copy of Ash. If you dont like Ash that much than just pretend he's not there

And that's a problem? Dawn is gone anyway, Brock SHOULD leave, and Ash/Team Rocket are just going to stay mostly the same till whenever the show ends.

Already most of the main cast is gone. After DP ends even more of them will be gone.

When you stop to think of it, the writers already retired around 60% of the cast. Its only a few that remain.

Let's hope there's some significant changes next season for the B/W anime.

Agreed, they really can't repeat what DP did and expect it to be fresh.

Paul will be a hard rival to top, as well as Pokehunter J being a hard villain to top.

Bringing in yet another new girl for the 4th time is going to be taxing, especially since Dawn already felt like they were pushing it with a third female.

And god help us if Brock is still there.

Please let something pertaining to the BW anime come out soon. We can only speculate so much since we barely know much about the games yet as it is. We're all pretty much saying the same things over and over again anyway.

Yeah we really are in a slow news slump in regards to the new anime series. So why don't we all predict the pokemon that Conway will have. If we see a full battle with him I think we will see the following pokemon. Slowking, Aggron, Farfetch'd, Shiftry, Banette, Bibarel. What are your guesses?
