The only thing that I can guess and from what you said is that the writers made Ash's hoenn Pokemon stronger than usual, just for the sake of the league.

His Sinnoh team was pretty much a bunch of Mary Sues, and his Kanto team, and his Johto team by your logic.
Incredibly skewed ratio of wins to losses, most of them defied logic. I can accept infernape taking a thunder, but not swellow surviving multiple rollouts that is just wrong/
Are you kidding me? Save Torkoal all of Ashes Hoenn mons have maxed out IVs and are fully EV trained when he caught the,. They didn't bother making his team league worthy through moves and evolutions so they stuck to cheap DEM victories by having weak pokemon somehow overpower others through force of will alone. I thought we should have been over that by OI.
Kanto gets a pass only due to it being the first, none of his Johto mons got that much glory save heracross and that in itself was wrong. All his Sinnoh team had faults, Infernape was abused and it took a long time to control blaze, Torterra had to cope with Lack of speed, Staraptor was shafted in battles so swellow seemed stronger at first, Buizel got screwed by power creep, Gliscor was a useless load for a long time, Gible had to take 10+ eps of ONSCREEN training to master DM, etc

Yeah you're completely right, but as I said before. Making a team of his strongest is completely against his character development. He's still a naive child who doesn't know the world isn't fair and won't submit to weaklings. It's why he keeps losing.
Uh, the majority of his Unova Pokemon got beaten up at the Unova League and now people want his Oak'd Pokemon to come back and steal screen-time and development? No thank you. This is exactly what I was talking about earlier. We can't just have Ash dump his current team and work with other Pokemon; he needs to train his current Pokemon on-screen. Unfezant, Oshawott and Snivy all flopped this year and it's time for Ash to actually do something about it.
Are we seriously applying IVs and EVs to the anime? Really?
Although what I find even funnier is the constant use of the words "Mary Stu", and the more I see it, the more I am convinced that none of you actually know what it means and are using it a cover for why you don't like certain Pokemon.
Although considering certain peoples previous posts, the lack of knowledge really doesn't surprise me.

Could this be the first arc without a challenge for Satoshi?
So far we know of no challenge Satoshi will face during the arc. We knew of the Battle Frontier and the Orange Islands early on due to commercials and other stuff but here we know nothing. So my question is could this be the first arc where it has no challenge and instead just focus on an evil team? also how is it a bad idea? I mean Digimon pulled that quite well so I would not be shocked if we don't get a challenge.

I think they'll have some kind of Don Battle Tournament or Senior Cup but I don't think Ash will have to gain badges and symbols like he did in previous seasons.

This will never happen. It's not that kind of show and never was.

The end of an era
The writers will probably come up with something random for Ash to compete in
btw is there a Pokemon Smash episode tonight?

I would not mind at all if the rivals came at times to help against Plasma well more so Virgil,Langley and the fat guy. Would be sad to see them only appear for Don stuff
Tuskie Tyrant Yoko Kurama
Fancy footwork
I'm pretty much expecting this. I don't know if they'll introduce a new rival or something. Maybe N would serve as one. It doesn't really matter to me if he has one or not.

Am I the only one that sees Stephan as buffed and not fat?
And again, is there a smash episode tonight?
Gary came close though..and its not like the writers have a problem with neglecting large numbers of pokemon in favor of shoving the small cute ones in our face
Dragalge
"Orange" Magical Girl
I believe they dropped this slogan some years ago since he gave up on that dream.
I might expect a Don tournament as well, this time with him winning the entire thing.
WaterShuriken
"I..I..Iron Tail, Pikachu."
I just see more tournaments either PWT or Don George ones.

Good series at last!
guys, answer it please
That's precisely why Ash should bring in his reserves from Oak's ranch. All of his Pokémon, save for Krookodile, Leavanny, and maybe Snivy (but she's still a first stage Pokémon and a Grass-type, something done better by Sceptile and Bulbasaur), have been lackluster and are either not that powerful (Unfeazant) or have a noticeable flaw that prevents their power from being used to its fullest extent (Pignite and speed issue). If Team Plasma is powerful, Ash will need the help of his stronger Pokémon, rather than the lackluster Unova team. It's already virtually guaranteed that Charizard will be coming to Unova. He would be even more powerful if Pokémon like Sceptile or Snorlax come to assist, too.
