Pocket Monsters (2019) Speculation Thread

Xy series is better than Dp.

The only special thing about Dp was Paul.

Paul is, in my opinion, Ash's most legendary rival. It really has a very special story.

But Xy also had competitors. And Ash was incredibly mature. Xy is the best series in my opinion.

The second is Dp. I think Dawn is the best pokegirl and the perfect complement on Brock.

There are two peaks already seen by the anime. Xy and Dp.

Since Go didn't catch Impidimp I guess that leaves the door open for Ash to get it later. Still would prefer Hatterene

 

[Pokegirl Fan~]

Cool! I didn't know that.

Yeah I think they just announced that yesterday xD
It should be interesting to see what they have in store for us.

I loved these two series too cuz it had conflics and it was more serious and interesting. Besides the fillers, the episodes felt like it had a propose and they were leading somewhere, building upon each other. Instead of being just random and out of place.

The interesting thing is that the Bw and Sm that comes after this series is disappointing.

Bw is somewhat innovative. After dp, it improved the drawing quality.

But sm is a complete setback.

Even Ash's drawing didn't look like ash.

But the Sm story wasn't too bad.

 

[charinija]

In terms of drawing quality, Sm after Xy is a disappointment. The drawing quality of Xy is the pinnacle of the anime.

In fact, I think Ash's maturity and lack of childish behavior was really great Xy.

SM is not too bad. It is a regression after Xy.

But whatever came after Xy was already going to be a setback. At least not as much as Bw.

Though Bw also progressed in terms of drawing over Dp. But the story wasn't enough.

Sm's story is good. But I think it wasn't good in terms of drawing.

Also, Ash's childish behavior after Xy broke the credibility.

The difference in behavior between Xy Ash and Sm Ash is strange because there is no time difference between them.

Friendly reminder:

Later this month is the anniversary of the games thus of the franchise as a whole.

An specific Pokémon ANIME anniversary would only happen on April next year. If there's anything that is...

 

[Spider-Phoenix]

I don’t think it would be in-character for Goh to leave Ash after Journeys since he takes friendships particularly seriously, I don’t think he would be okay with meeting and dumping friends like others do in the anime. But hey that’s just how I see him based on my perception of what was shown.

If it indeed happens, I can see it being VERY emotional for his side. Basically he being mad with Ash at first and then coming to terms with everything.

Think of a human version of how Piplup dealt with the separation in the last episode of DP.

 

[Ultra Beast Lover]

I could see Go going through the five stages of grief when they have to part ways. It could make for a sad episode where, at first, Go denies that Ash would really consider leaving him behind, then he begs Ash to stay and, when Ash says he has to go, Go gets angry and runs away. Then he becomes depressed before remembering Ash's previous friends and how they were still friends even after not seeing each other for years, then he accepts that Ash has to leave.

 

[SerGoldenhandtheJust]

I can see misty and Brock returning in the third year for the anniversary. Makes sense, they are the OGs, perfect for an anniversary celebration no matter your feelings towards them

Then he accepts the sad reality in which he lives in basically (an episode that deals with a person that prioritizes a friend before his goals vs a person that doesn’t? Wow , they sadly wouldn’t do it) XD though I am sure he will always have Chloe. She just seems to be the loyal kind.

Oh no, Chloe's going to be the first to leave.

 

[Master Pikachu 11]

First in regards to the episode, I want to congratulate @DuskAstral and others that mentioned that Chloe wasn’t getting Ponyta, I was wrong, however, I still believe that this isn’t the last time that we will see it and I think Chloe can get it in the future. I was however, glad that my prediction of Impidimp not getting caught and were the ones that had Chloe’s bag were correct. So @dman_dustin, you breath a sigh of relief as Ash still has a chance to catch one in the future. Also I also want to congratulate @Pikachu111213 , who mentioned that Goh would catch Morelull in this episode. Anyway, I find it really funny that Goh goes to Galar and ends up catching a Gen 7 Pokémon. Also because Chloe didn’t end up getting Ponyta yet, it goes to show that it is better not put any value into the magazine scans, so I would not write off Grookey to Ash just yet.

Eh I got the what the Writers plans.
I think they finally want to replace Ash but they do fear that removing Ash would be not iconic. So they are sidelining Ash so that people forget about Ash and focus more on Goh
Slowly people will forget even who Ash is ( whose story Pokémon was)
I don't they are replacing him in Gen 9 but Gen 10 looks almost likely.

unless that person is going to have a Pikachu as their main Pokémon, I say good luck with that because Ash is still there because of Pikachu

 

[Mythical-Moonlight]

Grookey seems to be interested in Gou but let's not go jumping to conclusions yet

 

[Red and Blue]

If somehow Ash gets Grookey after all of this it will be a miracle

I also forgot to mention that Go has only two dragon types. I think his third dragon type will be either Druddigon or Goomy or Axew/Fraxure.

 

[Leonhart]

The subject I am curious about is this.

Should Ash get a new badge if he ever wants to get into Kanto league again. Or will the badges collected to enter the Kanto league always have validity?

Once Pwc is over, he can try Ash Kanto league again if he doesn't need to collect badges again.

I don't know if his old Gym badges would be accepted again, but I don't foresee him re-challenging the Sekiei League, regardless. To me it makes little sense for him to aim so low when he already won the Alola League and is competing in a much more important event.

I think we're all aware of which Pokemon he's already gotten. He's inevitably going to have several more Dragon-types in any case given that his goal is to collect as many Pokemon as possible, so it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that he'll own a Crimgan, a Numera, and a Kibago later.

Then tell me this Leonhart, in your opnion which Pokémon do you think will be Go's second dark type and third fire type and first steel type?
