Rock Captain 99
Following the dreams!!
We will probably get the titles before the next episode airs!I hope we get some new episodes announced on New Years. Grookey and Sobble showing up will hopefully get Ash some new Pokemon.

Go's interaction with his caught pokémon in the Sakuragi Park feels a lot like how Ash's interaction would be with his reserves if he had enough time
I wonder if this hints at/prepares for the epic return
MidnightMelody said:I can see Ash maybe with Scizor if Gou trades him Syther. Like what went down with Ash and Dawn.
It hit me this might be the longest we have gone without seeing all the starters.
I mean being seen in the anime. At least the Kanto ones were seen in episode one in some way. Personally I'm not angry just find it interesting and proof they are not catering to a single generation anymore so I always find it weird when people are convinced Ash's team will be only Galar pokemon.Are we talking the ones the regional professor has or the ones caught by the main cast?
Season 1: Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle were caught in episode 10, 11, and 12 respectively.
AG: Brock's Mudkip wasn't caught till episode 25.
We're only up to episode 9.
Which Pokemon would Satoshi trade to Gou, though? My guess would be Gantle since it evolves by trade just like Strike does, but I got the feeling during the BW saga that some people are rather attached to Gantle and wouldn't want Satoshi to trade it away.

Or longer I mean it is possible this is the series for more than one gen with the way it works. TBH I would feel weird if they went back for a series focused only on the current Gen for Gen 9. Not to mention how fans would star wars online saying how Galar was cheated and find a way to bring it back to GF saying it was on them due to not giving us a finished game or whatever. I could be overthinking things but idk.We are 9 episodes in what could be 140-190 episodes. So 3-4 years. Its too soon to make assumptions about this new saga when its just getting warmed up at least wait till we're 20-50 episodes in. So if we could keep the salt and cynicism to a minimum that'd be great.
Like it'll take the fun out of speculation if we keep shooting down each other's ideas because of our frustration and disappointment with the first few episodes.
If I recall early DP had a lot of focus on Dawn but it became more even as time went on.
As I already said before, XY took 40 episodes to actually think to itself 'holy ****, does Serena actually not have a purpose on this show?' and then decide to address the elephant in the room (why is Serena just aimlessly traveling around with everyone). I'm fairly certain they will address Koharu's reluctance or lack of interest in these things at some point (considering how they handled Serena), but you also have to understand that Koharu is, as you've already stated yourself, not marketed as the main character. These are the adventures of Ash and Go, not Ash, Go and Koharu.In the recent episode, she was all like "why am I even here?" during the kung-fu exercises, further emphasising this reluctance she seems to have about being dragged into everyone else's weirdness, but as yet there's no indication as to why she's like that or what she'd rather be doing instead.

I think the sooner people realize that Koharu is, in fact, not the female traveling companion like Misty/May/Dawn/Iris/Serena, the better. She may get some focus at some point, but she doesn't have the level of importance as them.

This is assuming we don't gen more content in the form of SwSh2. Though I am hoping if it is not SwSh2 instead of a 3rd version we get DLC saving some money at leastI could see it lasting till Gen 9 then they change things up again for Gen 10 if it lands on the 30th anniversary. Because that'd be a perfect time for another game changer.
Again, hoping their second trip through the regions Ash will start catching stuff.
As for the Galar League? Well for now things can be episodic, but once the anime staff gets a release date for Gen 9 they could probably do the Galar storyline in a 26 episode format.
Ash would already have caught/trained everything. Maybe already met Leon and the Rivals.
So eight gyms, league, Eternatus, and the Royal Brothers (who could be left out and the anime will have lost nothing of value). Yes, I think that could be done in 26 episodes.
