Wouldn't it be funny if Brock came back and replaced his replacement for a second time? =D

I'm not counting on that, but... yeah.

So Brock and Dawn are leaving and we're not even going to see White? Right now I think I actually want Brock to stay. I'm officially going insane. *dies*

I'm not in favor of an original character at the current moment. I'm still probably in shock because I won't be seeing Dawn or White.

I need a moment...

I'll wait till I see the new girls design to decide whether its better than White.

I'm sure BW girl will be a rival anyway

Gosh, I hope she's not horrible...

If White does turn out to be a rival, my idea will turn out ot be right. Just thought I'd say. (It was Ash, Dawn, Black for the main cast and White for Ash's rival)

I feel so bad now, I was hoping that new girl won't be a newbie but a lil' bit experienced person, seems like it won't happen, uhhh.

Oh, yeah, Ash better get a female rival this time, but seems also unlikely, well there is "similar to Shinji guy".

I was hoping for the same thing.

Maybe the guy similar to Paul is Silver. I just hope White is at least a secondary rival or higher for Ash.

I was thinking that idea.
Paul was supposed to be like Silver in a way.
It'd be cool if the real Silver came into the show as Ash rival.
White could be Ash second rival like Barry was in D/P???

I don't think they meant the rival would be like Paul, they won't repeat the same type of character again.

Maybe it means a tough/stronger recurring rival.

Are we sure they don't mean a character with similar design cause the BW bow has about the same colour and haircut as Paul, similar jacket... I don't know, they look alike-ish.

and I'll answer her cause it's about the League.

Actually, from the looks of things, the writers might be skipping some battles in the League, maybe making it 6-7 episodes instead of 8... so maybe there'll be another "adventure" before DP ends...

Where do you get that from?

8 episodes only really made sense if it had preliminaries + a full battle against his 4 rivals and the legendary trainer. It looks like either Nando is gonna be a prelim or that the prelim are skipped to have Nando be the first rounds.... either way, much like the GF I don't think the writers are gonna have Ash face off against COTD. They'll only show matches that imply Ash and his rivals from the looks of it and skip the others...

I could see this being 6 episode like the Johto league, maybe 7 and that 7th would be at most half battles.

So much for DP going out with a bang then.

A rushed league, no Elite 4 arc, and all of Ash's better Pokemon are being left at Oak's.

If Gliscor doesn't appear, I will give up all hope on the next saga being any good.

What are you talking about ? Even if you take one or two episodes and make some battles still shots, that still means that we'll have about 5 good battles and some of Ash's favourite pokémon are coming back. It's gonna be great, because the rivalries themselves were great, both for Ash and his pokémon.

Quilava and maybe other pokémon evolving is a bang
Ash beating Paul is a bang, big bang
Ash vs a lengendary pokémon is a bang
Brock's new dream will probably a bang

Anyway, if there's a R/S remake next gen, then the Hoenn pokémon will probably have the focus next League/BF or whatever.

If Gliscor doesn't appear, I will give up all hope on the next saga being any good.

I don't get how Gliscor making it to the League speaks about the pokémon/rivalries/characters/interactions/plot/etc. of BW. Besides, we all know you'd be back. You couldn't leave Piplup all of us and this place would be boring without you as Piplup reminds us profusely. :p

Simply because it proves the writers haven't fixed any of their old mistakes. I honestly do not want to sit through DP 2.0.

If the next saga isn't groundbreaking, maybe its best to finally give it up.

What do you mean? This D/P saga has fixed tons of mistakes that its done in the past. Its been so unpredictable, so while the league won't be as long as we've all hopped for. We should at least get some epic battles, such as our long over due Ash pawning Paul battle. Than there's Barry/Nando/Conway/Newbie character with legandary Pokemon.

Let's remind that 6 eps league is just a guess and is in now way confirmed. But 3 episodes for Nando, Conway and Barry is plenty enough. Paul and Legendary trainer would get a 3. I just think, 8 eps made sense with 2 rounds of prelim and 5 full battles. But Nando doesn't sound like a full battle... so...

Either that or they could have some form of preliminaries at the end of DP182 or something, but I doubt it.

I really wish that they would just skip the league's primaries. Or maybe its a really short primary battle and the big tournament starts with Nando vs. Ash. I really just want to get a full battle with Nando and I hope he gets it. Because a one vs. one prelim battle would really suck.

Eh, I think a 3 v 3 battle is good enough. It won't drag on, and will be ended with quickly. Besides they probably wouldn't have time for a full battle with Nando.

I'm just glad he isn't the legendary trainer.

I tried to formulate the league myself, and it is not an easy question to answer, especially with all the eps that end up at the end of DP. I can see them taking as many as two eps to close DP, but that is as many as I'm giving it. They shouldn't have to take 3 eps unless there is something else they feel is important enough to dedicate a whole ep to. (there is one candidate I know for this, but it had better be good if they spend a whole ep on it) As for the league itself, assuming the rivals are all we have, it was not easy at all to fill the average league length. There was only one way I could make it even slightly feasible: that we have three full battles instead of two. Yes, this was compensated for the fact that full battles tend to take more than one ep to do. I used their tendency to have battles run into each other, that is once one battle ends, the other immediately begins. Using this, I was able to make a haphazard line up for the league, and perhaps still have time to close the league itself at the end of the final battle. It would have to mean BW is beginning right on the 23rd as opposed to the 30th, which is the maximum time right now. There are only two things I can see happening if it does go that far. 1. Something is amiss in the league and there is a battle I did not account for. 2. There are more post league eps than I anticipate.
