We're just over 30 episodes in, coming up on the Grand Trial with Olivia. So given that we're probably not even 1/3 of the way through the series as a whole unless they REALLY rush Gen VIII, what would you like to see in the future for the remaining episodes still to come?
For me:
-Now that Litten is part of Ash’s team, I’m really, really, REALLY hoping that they don’t go down the same route they did with his Infernape & Torterra in Diamond & Pearl, where Torracat/Incineroar becomes the powerhouse of his team due to personality chemistry while Dartrix/Decidueye just gets increasingly marginalized to the point where he basically exists only to show how much stronger the rest of Ash's team is.
-I would really like to see Shiron/Snowy evolve into an Alolan Ninetales at some point, possibly in the Ula’ula Island arc. It could become like a noble shepherd for Lillie, standing up for her and maybe even actively encouraging her to overcome her fear of touching Pokemon, as well as proving to be a valuable battler when she & Gladion (presumably) face Lusamine. Judging by all the Pokemon jokes he makes, Professor Samson Oak probably already knows that a Kanto Vulpix evolves with a Fire Stone, so I could see there being an episode where the class finds an Ice Stone on Mt. Lanakila and both of them evolve their Vulpix together.
-Once we get to Poni Island, I’d like to see Lana have some role with Tapu Fini. Given her love of the ocean as well as her natural empathy for Water-types I could definitely see her being the one (possibly alongside Ash and/or Hapu) to brave its fog and try to convince it that not all humans are inherently evil. I’m actually kind of surprised Lana hasn't already mentioned Tapu Fini in one of her incredibly-obvious-lies.
-And finally, a part of me really hopes that Serena will come to Alola for a few episodes for whatever reason (especially given how many “filler episodes” between trials there have been so far in this series), but sadly, I just don’t see it happening.
