I don't think Charmander will, Tierno is featured in the middle and he's the most popular of the three losers so i fully expect for him to be given the lion's share of prominence in this arc. Though part of me thinks they'll just do anything given these episodes were probably made before they knew Tierno was the most liked. I think the Floette boat has passed with Mairin having Floette and the whole AZ story line likely playing out in the anime at some point too unfortunately.
I really don't think they'll struggle, I honestly just think Ash will be given what he wants with ease. Ash is a wish fulfilment character, as stupid as it sounds. He's a character for fans to identify with and insert themselves into the place of. That's why many fans get so bothered by Ash getting attacked because it's like them personally getting attacked. That's why he has such few personalities traits of his own. That's why he's portrayed as an ultimately perfect avatar for viewers. He's the Bella Swan of this franchise or a husbando for fangirls.
I hope Iris cameos, I want cameo but I pray it's not crappy like Dawn's. As for KAORI voice acting again, I noticed and I honestly don't think that's really going to change anything about Haruka's role in the anime. I'd love for a May cameo because I'm in love with May a lot but I don't see it happening honestly. I was thinking perhaps she could be featured on TV, Marina-style like in DP showing off a new Pokemon and an evolved one in a Contest that someone could fawn over. I do wonder how May's journey went though, she apparently had a small losing streak before the Wallace Cup. :/
Meh.
