The second video is what I'm referring.
True, Ash is showed alone ven though Alexa is known to be in Lumiose City which means she is in the plane.
The questions, why Smash is ignoring the fact that Alexa is in the plane? Why Sycammore is not shown with the starters? Foir me, it's very strange unless someone else is in the plane.
The anime is in at moment really delicate and Dawn/Hikari is one of the ways to handle it.
In Japan, Hikari is way popular, more than the rest of the girls are.
But to conmpicate things, I had a rumour from 2chan that says that both iris and Cilan (specially Cilan) are out on Da 17 and Da 1 is a Cilan special. I have issues fully believing it but I can't say that's impossible.
Add to it that the Emolga in the ending is in Dawn's hair and not Iris. And here, the Eevee girls has not edited it. If it's an error, that could be edited!?
I don't say that Hikari is on his way to be again on the show.
I have said the things needed to return Hikari to the show:
1. She has to not appear during the rest of episode N and Da!.
2. Her Piplup has to be in many merchandise even when Dawn is gone.
3. The writers has to do something that heavily implied that both iris and Cilan are out of the show rather early.
4. Team Rocket needs to return to being like Diamond and Pearl, not like Best Wishes.
5. When the first details of the new anime series are revealed, the only character shown in it has to be Ash unlike DP and BW.
6. The writers have to be desesperate to get viewers doing strange things ythat only can be explained as attraction things. THey have always existed that, but in Season 2 it was too obvious (3 episodes of flashbacks of OS?),
7. A character known to be in the plane has to not appear in the teaser trailer.
8. The side quest of XY has to not be revealed before any potential Dawn returns. When she returns, Contests are confirmed to return.
The first 6 points are true and I expected the first 5 if they try to return her. And the 7 is possible with the Sylveon picture oif Pokemon amie (who is not the substitute as far as I know).
For me, the only things that does quit points right now is the Kanto starters merchandise. If not for that... all the points are in the right direction.
Of course, I can be wrong and I'm aware of the thing.
And, if she return, it will make one things. The writers are de
