Can we please get the older, old forum back?
Man, James had better get something soon. At this point I don't even care. I think the most likely options for his first Pokemon of Unova are Yabakuron, Darumakka, Desumasu, or Vanipeti.

Actually, I don't think his choices are that limited. I think the 'new' James can have a very wide array of pokemon, even ranging as far as both fossil lines, or even Nattorei, Oobemu, the Dokkora-line, or even Lepardass, eventhough some might say that it suits Jessie better, and might conflict with Meowth..

And if you're going by look-a-likes of James old pokemon, then don't forget the Poisonous Poké-Mushroom, Morobareru..

However, I do agree with you.. Him not having a pokemon for a minimum of twelve episodes in a row is unheard of. But I guess that since their plot has strayed them away from Ash and co for the moment (No interaction since BW006) it doesn't really matter yet. Their plot is building, and I think that the chances of James randomly having a new pokemon by the time they will meet Ash and co again will be fairly large. However, whether we'll see it fighting in a full scale battle is another thing..

Poor Koromori.. The thing was caught offscreen, had one battle against weakened pokemon, and thus did something few Team Rocket pokemon did (beat Ash's pokemon), but got lost after that, only reappearing one more time to create a dustcover..

This is the exact same team I would want by the League lol. (Not counting any reserves Ash may/may not catch).

I think if Snivy evolves all the way to Jalorda we may have another Torterra on our hands, so keeping it as a Janoby is good.

I don't want Tepig to stay unevolved, and I feel Embouh wouldn't really offer anything different that Chaobuu, so Chaobuu is fine.

I also think if either Snivy or Tepig evolved all the way along with Oshawott (which I think is almost guaranteed to go all the way), then it would restrict Meguroko to either staying unevolved or evolving only once. Whereas if Tepig and Snivy evolved once each, it would allow Meguroko to go all the way, to keep his team balanced.

Why does everybody think it is impossible for ash to get a fully evolved team? I wan thim to get a fully evolved team for once.

I think that if Ash had a fully evolved team in a region, then every region after would have to have a fully evolved team too, otherwise it could be seen as a step backwards.

Not to mention that if he gets a fully evolved team and doesn't win this league, when he finally does win a league it's basically saying that his Unova team is inferior to the team that does win because they can't get any stronger.

Sorry if that made no sense.

Ash is never gonna win a league so I don't think that'll be an issue lol

Personally, I think whether he will become a Champion is the real question. He just finished fourth, and was only defeated because Tobias had two (at least) legendaries. Even then Ash defeated them both.

I can only see Ash improving this region, and personally I think he will win the Unova League, but lose to the Elite Four. And I can see him getting quite far into the Elite Four if he uses his reserves again.

So instead they should make her Bayleef 2.0?

Well to be honest I'm not seeing that much of a connection between Snivy and Bayleef. Yea sure they are both female grass starters, but (and I could be wrong here since I've never watched all of Johto, and my memory of it is fuzzy anyway) they never made that much of Bayleef's gender, besides her affection for Ash. Now, with Snivy, I think they are making more of her gender; what with Attract and all. And so far, Snivy doesn't seem to have as much affection for Ash as Bayleef did; Oshawott seems to be filling that role already.

Since Ash is probably going to get Meguroco a Ground/Dark type I guess if he gets a 7th capture during Best Wishes it'll have to be a Steel/Ghost or Psychic type. Aianto or Rankurusu/Riguree will probably be his 7th capture Gobitto suits him pretty well but I really do not want to see that Golem/Robot on the main cast.

Oh yeah Oshawott seems to have gotten over the trying to get all of Ash's attention thing. I hope they do something interesting with Mamepato's personality once it evolves or give it some kind of Character devolopment maybe it temporarily forgets how to fly when it evolves into Hatoboo?

You think Ash will give Dent his egg??o_0 I still think Ash will get the Meguroko from the egg.... even though the egg does look like a Yooteri.

Reserves
[IMG139]http://floatzel.net/pokemon/black-white/sprites/images/559.png[/IMG139]

Reasons.

Pikachu: Its obvious enough why its there and what capacity it will fill.
Janovy: For some reason I could only see it reaching this stage. Staying as a Snivy just doesn't seem feasible but at the same time I don't think it has a chance of reaching a Jalorda as Attract would seem kind of pointless on it as would Leaf Blade.
Tepig: I don't see Ash with any of its evolutions and could see it turning into a strong fire-type after its pretty poor beginning. With a few move upgrades I could see it turning itself into a surprise powerhouse.
Daikenki: For me it is the only one of the starters who I can see make it to its final form and it real does suit Ash. I can just imagine him sending out Daikenki to fight Ononokusu in the final gym and it triumphing.
Hatoopoo: This is half personal preference as I really don't like Kenhorou and half "Suiting of Ash" I could actually see him using Hatoopoo as a strong Pidgeotto type Pokémon who doesn't need to evolve.
Waruvial: Ash's other powerhouse for the region to make up for his others not reaching their full forms. I could see it either being an overconfident Pokémon or a really play full one.
Zuruggu: It just screams "Ash Pokémon" to me.

No, I think Dento will get his own egg sometime later on during Best Wishes I wasn't saying that he would get Ash's egg.
