Yeah, I mean if May couldn't make it in XY despite the ORAS games being released during those times, what are the odds that Dawn would make her return in the next series, assuming there's a DP remake during the next gen?I'm thinking that they are more likely to just create another anime-original rival like they did with Sawyer.
I didn't really care about Dawn vs Iris outcome. If anything I'm glad that they got to interact each other especially that BW was the last series to keep the tradition of having a Pokegirl from the last series interacting with the current one. They didn't do it in XY & SM.I actually liked her BW return. People overreact way too much about Iris “corrupting” Dawn, especially when it was shown so many times in DP that even though they have a tight relationship, Ash and Dawn still tease each other. Was it a little gratuitous, especially when she called him a kid for the tiniest mistakes? Yeah, but it was cute to see her and Iris get along. Her loss against Iris was sus though; May vs. Dawn was believable but Iris winning only bc of her OP Dragonite was frustrating.
However I would like to see a better return written for her. Give her some team changes, a new updated look, and please establish she’s made progress in Hoenn.
May had the problem of her VA retiring, and Japan is reluctant to replace them. Oak's got replaced because he was also the narrator and needed to be replaced once his VA passed away.Yeah, I mean if May couldn't make it in XY despite the ORAS games being released during those times, what are the odds that Dawn would make her return in the next series, assuming there's a DP remake during the next gen?

I still don't get the idea to keep the VA for the character for such a long running show. Japan also do video games remakes in 2 decades gap and they could change their VAs without much problem.May had the problem of her VA retiring, and Japan is reluctant to replace them.

Although original VA are important in Japan at some level, they aren't irreplaceable.
If they really want to use May and her VA is retired, they could replace her VA.
It is more likely May doesn't appear, because the staff isn't interested in promote ORAS with her appearance.
KAORI retired and while I would’ve loved to see May return, I guess an XY cameo wasn’t deemed important enough to just entirely replace her VA. However if this new series really is going out of its way to show every companion, then May can’t be left out unless they want a barrage of complaints from both the JP and worldwide fans. While Japan is loyal, they can and will replace VA’s in anime, so if they’re committed to having her return they’ll just get someone who sounds similar.
Dawn returning in any capacity though is still more likely, especially since her VA is not only as active as ever, but also popular. If they can hire KanaHana, they can get Megumi Toyoguchi back for a bit.
They could just create new characters to do that instead, which is what I think that they will do.Anyway, I think Dawn has a better chance of showing up. Not just because of Piplup but also because of her former status as co-protagonist. I can definetely see she sticking around for a long arc promoting the DP games or at least the Sinnoh segment.
I mean Contests weren’t in BW but Dawn mentioned the Wallace Cup and Serena was mentioned to be doing Contests in Hoenn during XY.I’m kinda under the impression Contests will never be mentioned in the series again because they’re not in the games. Even if Ash returns to sinnoh they’ll probably just avoid mentioning them like how dawn didn’t mention contests in her BW cameo.
Since they are travelling to every region, I’d like to see Ash and Go travel to a region and watch and Ash introduces Go to the concept of contests by inviting him to watch his friend compete in a Grand Festival tournament, we get to see Dawn compete in the festival and end up winning it.
Have you seen any of the companions/classmates driving motorized vehicles? The anime also had morals for the viewers who are mostly childrens, and having them to drive those vehicles are no-no. Pokemons as transportations are fine because they are fictional creatures after all.It would be cool to see Dawn return. I would love to see her come along on a motorcycle. Her bike would be a Suzuki GSX-R1000.
