DuquÊ?
Too lazy to pick a pic
I kinda question why, though. That looks like the thing they'd put on hold until the Journey's last year, not early. Same for riolu's and raboot's final forms (damn, even scorbunny's evolution was too early). That make me think if they're planning some sort of mid season endgame and let the PWC finals as the real endgame, but, if Ash's team ends up a league tier team way before the finals... what will he do, keep catching fully evolved/single stage pokemon, alternating with one or two mons that can still evolve? So much padding.

At this point after so long. I feel like they do need to bring it back, I mean even if the blame is towards Porygon, I'm not sure why that included Porygon2 or Porygon-Z or why even Gamefreak created them.
I get Porygon2 because that was probably already in the works when the episode aired.
But Porygon-Z was a future generation thing and would've likely been created knowing the logic. If people have no problem with Porygon in the games, I'm not sure I understand the logic at this point in time of preventing it from being in the anime.
I guess they don't want to risk any issues, but I still fail to see why it's fine in the games but otherwise not fine in the anime.

It was an accident from 20 years ago. If they want I'm sure they'll bring it back.

They kind of did the same thing by having the Nebby and Lusamine storyline happening fairly early in SM. If they do Eternatus and Rose right away they can get to the Armor and Tundra DLC.
Would be great timing since that deals with GMAXing your starter and Go will have Cinderace by then

This might be a contrarian opinion, but I actually want more Riolu screen time since the series thus far has done an absolutely terrible job at developing his character. Of course, there's these one-off battles and moments, but there's been zero focus episodes with this series really not giving Riolu any sort of depth at all. It's incredibly unfortunate that a Riolu can have such a entertaining personality with screen time to showcase that personality, yet be so basic and plain when you scratch the surface.
At the very least, I want this series to make better use of the screen time it gives to Riolu which actually might be more important since it's been utilized so badly so far.

Ash Charizard moveset is Wing Attack, Slash, Flamethrower and Dragon Tail, 3 of 4 attacks are psychical, so Charizard X makes more sence.
I really hopes Ash next capture is Tyranitar or Blaziken.

Careful? Where's the fun in that?
The easiest way for Go to capture Porygon and it's line is to have it be a single shot of him catching it and having it never really appear outside of maybe a background shot. Its basically what the movies more or less have done to the line the past few years

"Basic and plain" pretty much sums up the Riolu line. Riolu and Lucario are meant to be cool and appealing to kids, but I don't think they really need to have intriguing personalities since their mere presence is usually enough to guarantee more merchandise sales.
Since goh is building a team
here is my team prediction for him
1.Scorbunny-Raboot-Cinderace-His ace
2. Scyther-scizor- His main battler and learn night slash
3. Sobble - Drizzle- Inteleon-Once Sobble gains a bit more confidence it will evolve and learn hydro pump
4. Heracross- Unlike ash's Heracross it'll be more battle ready
5. Flygon- Goh's main flying and dragon type
6. Rhyhorn- unlike ash he catches a rhyhorn while in fuchsia city's safari zone

Ash’s Heracross wasn’t battle ready? We remember the Sinnoh league differently my friend. He got in a major hit on Darkrai and did great against Nando. Frankly, I think the issue was more of a lack in screen time, not a lack in battle capability

Lover of underrated characters
It's also his strongest Johto Pokemon lol
I mean early johto where he sucked on bulbasaur's bulb and only had two battles until it was transferred for Taurus and then Battle Gary's magmar and Blastoise , Spencer's venasaur, Nando's Kricketune and Tobias's darkrai. with 4 losses and 3 wins

I don’t think Goh is going to catch Zapados, but if he does and the writers want to go down that road, then they are going to have to give Ash a legendary as well. They can’t have one protagonist get a legendary and not give the other, especially when It took Ash 22+ years to get his first mythical. I don’t care if it’s Goh’s goal to catch all the Pokémon. If he gets Zapados, then they need to give Ash an Articuno, or Suicune or even Entei

I wouldn't know who to root for since I disliked both characters, although in slightly different ways. I disliked Takuto because he was less of a genuine character and more like a plot device, and I disliked Alain because the writers gave him more attention than I thought he needed.

Movesets change everytime he shows up. Also I think we had enough of Mega Charizard X. Y would be more appropriate for Ash.

Alain vs. Paul would be better IMO...

I think that when Charizard returned in Unova the writers should gave it the following moveset:
Air Slash
Dragon Claw
Flamethrower
Inferno (Gen V move)
That would be an amazing Charizard Y.

Well if and when Charizard comes back I want Seismic Toss to be back in its move pool as it is one of his iconic moves, that I was really disappointed that they got rid of it when it returned in Unova.

I don't know if it's ever been done before: but would it be possible for a character/companion from a prior series to meet another character/companion from another prior series even though they never met within their own?
Ex: Serena meeting Dawn.
