So since we have Johto gang in the opening it will go as folkowa:
EP 5 - Hoenn gang
EP 6 - Sinnoh gang (not sure under which Ambipom will fall)
EP 7 - Unova 1st half
EP 8 - Unova 2nd half
EP 9 - Kalos gang
EP 10 - Alola gang (including Solgaleo and Naganadel)
EP 11 - Journeys Team (with Latias...
He defeatem them with only evolved Pokemon (bar Pikachu). Few episodes later he uses an uneveloved Pokemon which was strong for it's arcs (Corphish) and loses to a fully evolve Pokemon of Misty (Politoed).
I would like to see the opposing Profesor (Sada in Violet and Turo on Scarlet) with the Legendary Chimera (Beasts of Swords of Justice). Bonus point for Turo with prehistoric and Sada with future design.
There's a theory Legendary Beast will have Drizzle-like ability and Legendary Sword some...
I'm still not sure why Ash doesn't use 5 Pokemon per episode. Also nothing was used in EP3:-( in theory there are 25 Pokemon there, with potential one or 2 being used in the squirtle one. That gives us all Pokemon in 6/7 Episodes.
Misty should've gotten either Dewpider or Wimpod in Alola.
Hydreigon/Kingdra for Iris.
Absol for Serena, both as per game, per it having a Mega and allowing Pancham to Evolve.
So going by Pokemon who we should get in the opening? 4 Johto Mons? As I'm assuming Pidgeot, Butterfree, Primeape and Lapras will be shown together with other release min? Or not?
Imagine Ancient Hero with 10 Nobles+Enamorus vs Volo with Giratina, H-Zoroark, H-Goodra, , Overqwill, H-Decidueye, H-Typhlosion, H-Samurott and Female Basculegion.
We have an awesome Battle until Arceus appears and banishes Volo in time.
The only thing that could top it would be Ash vs Volo but with some team changes for Volo (a Team of H-Goodra, H-Lilligant, H-Arcanine, Overqwill, Kleavor and H-Zoroark) and Ash using his All time strongest (Pikachu, Ash-Greninja, Sceptile, Charizard, Lycanroc and newly evolved Annihilape)...
I was thinking what Paldean Pokemon would work best for Penny and it striked me that Gholdengo makes a lot of sense.
1. The name Penny clearly gives money conotations. So does Gholdengo.
2. Penny stole a lot of LP from the League which is a type of Pokemon Virtual currency. A Pokemon connected...
Ok if Ash uses Corphish, Totodile and something like Oshawott Misty has a chance of winning.
But I guess it will the opposite of the Totodile fight with Misty getting a new Mon and Ash an Evolution.
