I really don't think Ash should have more than one starter because while AG was ok, it was the only arc where one starter didn't overshadow another. With Kanto, Jouto and Sinnoh, sure the starters got development, but look at what happened.
Kanto: Charizard was the only one to evolve, Bulbasaur could have but choose not to, and Squirtle was always behind them.
Jouto:Bayleef was the only one of them to evolve but it didn't have much gym time, Cyndaquil was in nearly every gym battle that Charizard wasn't in (sans Chuck.) but never evolved (until recently) and totodile while used nearly every episode never changed at all.
DP:Turtwig handled things pretty well for Ash early on, until Son Gohan came in and killed practically every pokemon it faught to the death in mortal kombat.
Especially after watching what Torterra(I hate grass types but seriously it was as gut wrenching as watching torkoal constantly get nuked all the time in hoenn and again in the darkrai match.) went through I don't want Ash to get multiple starters if thier not all gonna get equal attention, I know equality is a factor that's hardly played in this show, but it's better to focus on one starter and let the "wild" pokemon be potentially weak or strong while the starter stays up with Pikachu at the front line.
