New Region Theory Thread

[Torkoal Greg]

A little early, since the Kanto BF series will probably take a while, but what are you guys hoping/thinking will happen in the new region. (Assuming that their is one planned at the moment).

Well for one, I hope the writers do what they did in Hoenn, and only give Ash one starter. Of course, maybe Ash won't receive any starters, a compltely new approach, which would also be ok with me.

Also I hope the writers get off the "Ash needs all the types" thing. Like, I think a lot of people agree that Ash didn't really NEED Torkoal, but since there were few fire types, and Ash usually gets fire types, the writers gave it to him.

Another thing, Ash needs to stick to his Hoenn training. He finally evolved most of his pokemon. I know that a theory is pokemon evolve when they want, but Ash getting as far as he did in Kanto AND Johto with most stage one pokemon...he was TO lucky, lets say.

And please, writers...less fillers. Hoenn was pretty good, with few episodes that were kind of...boring? But still, some of those fillers could have been made more interesting. Please do not pull another Johto season, thats all.

Those are some of my theories...how about you guys?

 

[Squirtle_007]

I just hope that they get rid of Takeshi and bring an all new character, maybe the boy/girl of Diamond-Pearl AND make him/her with a REAL purpose AND if they going to keep Haruka, make her continue in the contest and not make her a "Satoshi´s cheerleader"

Eh, I don't feel like repeating stuff I've said already a few times but:

1. Real villains. Team Magma/Aquas potential was wasted. Seriously, have Giovanni have a major confrontation with Ash. It is long overdue.

2. Ash needs to rotate his Pokemon. I'm tired of seeing new crap while the oldies rot away for hundreds of episodes doing absolutely nothing. Rotate your Pokemon Ash! Some of your Poke haven't done anything in YEARS. Why bother to keep them at Oaks if you're not going to use them?

3. Please god no Brock. Seriously, he needs a break. The writers were smart enough to give Misty a break because she became stale and boring, why can't they do the same for Brock? Put Brock out of his misery...PLEASE. We can go one region without him. Have May learn to cook or something, or the gang should just eat take-out.

4. May needs to be in swimsuits as much as possible. The fanservice needs to return. May taking off her clothes every 10 episodes or so is perfect.

5. Do something with Jessie/James/Meowth. It's been 400 episodes. They need something that will either make or break them. They simply can't do this forever.

I hope

1. Ash goes to the region with only Pikachu.
2. They only give Ash one of the three starters.
3. Ash gets farther then 8th Place in the league.
4. May and Max leave, as well as Brock. That way, Ash can make a new slate of friends.
5. Team Rocket stays. (Bite Me)

 

[Phantom_Bugsy]

1. Don't just give the Gym Leaders like 2 or three episodes and be done with them. Do MORE with them.

2. Will plz. I don't care how. But Will plz.

3. Have old GL's appear again.

4. Have old characters appear again.

That's all I ask >__>

 

[kukkyou_ooraka]

1. Ash goes to the region with only Pikachu.

5. Team Rocket stays. (Bite Me)

1. Already happened.
2. Already happened.
3.......Ill stop there. -__-;

Everything you said has already happened except for the Brock not being there the whole time.

Idea idea....

Anime should be more interesting. I don't want this routine again:
Ash goes to a next town, TR follows him, Ash meets a new friend with new pokemon, friend has a problem, TR steals Pikachu & new pokemon, Ash saves them, Pikachu kicks TR away, everybody is happy. The end.
Kanto was cool and the most interesting because episodes were not so boring. Now if you see one episode you will see them all.

3. Have old GL's appear again.
4. Have old characters appear again.

I agree. I would love to see old Gym Leaders and old characters again. I will not forget AJ, Samurai, Giselle, Casey etc. I would like to know, what is going on with them.

 

[jolteonjak]

1. Send Brock back home. Or let him meet Suzie again on Scissor Street, and he can stay with her forever.

2. Team Rocket needs to not be in every episode. Someone in another thread suggested they be in like every 10 episodes. I think that would be perfect. Or at least make them disappear during Ash's Gym Battles/League Battles.

3. If TR does stay around, have Jessie legitimately enter contests. She could really be a great coordinator if she didn't have to resort to cheating.

4. I have wishes for Max, but the arguments against it are just too true. He'll always be an 8-year-old that brandishes the Pokenav. Its a real shame they couldn't age him or give him a spinoff. He and Ralts/etc. would be a powerful pair I think.

5. More development with the Gym Leaders. They made a good start in Hoenn. (Roxanne the teacher, Flannery the novice, Brawly the hot surfer, etc.).

6. OMG please please please Adan must enter another contest for old times' sake! Plus I wanna see that stud again. On the same note, more Noland too *shiver* I don't care how just put him in again. (You think i'm crazy now, just you wait until they get to Sootopolis)

2. Team Rocket needs to not be in every episode. Someone in another thread suggested they be in like every 10 episodes. I think that would be perfect. Or at least make them disappear during Ash's Gym Battles/League Battles.

Good... I forgot about them. Sometimes they aren't necessary. Writers should do something with them because now Jessie, James and Meowth are not only boring, they are almost annoying. In Kanto they did many things: They had a fight against Gastly, they were almost dead on a ship, they helped Paras, they took pokemon exams etc. Now they do nothing special.

 

[MaskedManAbsolkid]

1) Ash should only take Pikachu.
2) May and Max should come with him. If there's no contests, May would have a new role, seeking out co-ordinators. Max should get his first pokemon. Even if he isn't 10 by then, he could get a pokemon anyway.
3) Team Rocket should have more to do. If there's contests, Jessie should enter them. If not, maybe the group should find a base again, but in each episode they appear. That's what Giovanni sent them to Hoenn for. Oh, and Mondo should appear more, or maybe there should be a new team mate. And I'd like Delibird to become a permanent fixture on their team.
4) More later...

 

[Infinite Master Sceptile]

1. If Ash starts over again, only taking Pikachu with him, the writers shall get a shower of hate mail. At least keep Grovyle.
2. Max and Brock leave. Neither serves any purpose.
3. Ash's best rivals shall return. At the very least, Harrison and Casey.
4. Charizard will not come back at any time.
5. Criminals and punks frequently appear. Examples: Dario, prick in Cyndaquil episode, Damien, Farfetch'd Dude.
6. Another female main character. With a kick-butt personality. This type of trainer is far overdue for an appearance, though Kaede came pretty close. She would be the rival. And would be absolutely brutal in battle. There would be subtle hints she is attaracted to May, though nothing the censors would catch, only dodgemasters.
7. More humiliation by elite trainers. Ash doesn't get his butt handed to him on a platter very often. He still has a long way to go to become a Pokemon Master. Possible ownage by said kick-butt girl. Why has Ash never had a female rival before.

 

[Blaziken master]

I agree with Absolkid that a new member like Mondo should join Jessie and James as well with delibird.It would be a TR mascot that is actually kickass unlike chimecho

 

[Waveblaster]

I think he shouldn't start over, he should rotate and not get all the usual types he gets all the time...

 

[intergalactic platypus]

i can actually see brock and max leaving. logically it could happen IMO. plus brock NEEDS BADLY to leave

 

[Kazaana]

1. Brock leaves. Let him finally find a girl or something and get rid of him.
2. Ash catches a type that he's never had before, like steel, dark, or psychic.
3. A new rival for Ash shows up at the beginning of the region and keeps showing up throughout, instead of having a rival turn up right before the league starts.
4. Make Team Rocket show up every few episodes, instead of every one.
5. Make a real group of villains like Aqua or Magma, only have them more involved and show up a bit more than they did.
6. Make old characters return, like Casey or Sakura.
7. Ash gets one starter or none, and doesn't have the same grass/water/fire/flying team he always has.
8. Make Ash get at least the top 4 in the league.

That's all I can think of for now...

 

[Lovely May]

No more friends on Champion League....
Ash already met Richie (Indigo), Harrison (Johto), Masamune and Tetsuya (Hoeen). Probably he will meet a next friend etc. but ehh.... I really would love to see next league without cute friendship.

 

[Ralts Master]

1. NO MORE FRICKING ASH! He's been around for two regions longer than he should have, and I'm sick of him. He should be replaced by the male character from Diamond/Pearl region, like should have happened when Hoenn started.
2. No more Brock. I like the guy, but he's embarassing to watch these days. Let him find a girlfriend and settle down somewhere to breed Pokemon (he deserves a happy ending, after all)
3. No more Jessie, James, and Meowth. They're pathetic villains and only good for comic relief (and not really good at that). And it doesn't help that they're forced into every episode whether they have a reason to be there or not. And while we're at it, TR needs to be disbanded already. The anime is like 7 years behind on that.
4. Real villains. Aqua and Magma looked like they were shaping up for the role, but they kind of got screwed over by the writers (hell, iirc most of their storyline was *******ized or ignored...)
5. All the important places and events from Diamond/Pearl would be animated. ALL of them. And not screwed up like the Groudon/Kyogre arc...

 

[MaskedManAbsolkid]

I agree with Absolkid that a new member like Mondo should join Jessie and James as well with delibird.It would be a TR mascot that is actually kickass unlike chimecho

Not a new member, I'd just like Mondo to come into the show. All he did was give Jessie and James food. He's apparently the youngest member of Team Rocket, so he could have a lot to do. With Delibird, it'd have to know attacks other than Present, because it could actually help Ash's pokemon, since it has a chance of restoring the opponent's HP.

 

[ced41]

there are numerous things that i think should be done for the diamond/pearl region in order to maximise fan happiness.
1.(this is key to bringing old fans back to the show) do something with brock or get rid of his useless cooking behind.
2. team rocket should either become good or appear every 20 episodes but unexpectedly so we are suprised
3. give max a pokemon or get rid of him(i'd prefer the first)
4.make a much more sinister team like cipher.(aqua/magma had so much potential)
5.add the female from d/p to replace Brock(this would create a balance of 2 males to 2 Females)

 

[articuno_trumps_all]

Richie said he was going to meet up with Ash in that "Search from Professor Oak" epsiode, so I'm sure we can expect a visiti from him
