Ash is not gonna catch'em all. He could catch another handful of Pokemon from those regions, but not all of them. He's definitely not getting any Uber Legendaries, except maybe Zacian and Mewtwo
It is good to know and I hope considering this the writers take note and anime becomes better for good
Maybe if the focus on the PWC or just more battles in general is put on turbo from here going forward, but as of right now his team is too underdeveloped. They don’t interact with each other, their personalities are all nice but rarely ever get to show it. And in terms of battles they are all consistently strong but we don’t get to see them in action enough.
This will definitely not happen, the goal for Ash this series is to battle and defeat Leon, to have Leon get defeated by the Gen 9 champion would just undo every progress that was made in this series and pretty much make Ash’s goal even more pointless.
Right now you are basing on the assumption that they should just add another region to the current series. The problem is despite Goh’s goal of catching all Pokémon, to suggest that he should just leave his Gen 8 starters at the lab and use the Gen 9 starters would not be right. Cinderrace is the Pikachu of Goh’s team. It is his go to Pokémon whenever he needs to battle or catch Pokémon when his throwing poke balls don’t work. It would be like May and Dawn leaving Blaziken and Piplup at their home with their parents and then using another Gen starter in their place when performing in contests. That just would not work, nor feel right for someone like Goh to do, If Goh had Eevee as his stater instead of the bunny then yeah he could potentially stick around past this series, but that is not the case. I still expect the resolution of Goh and Mew to be settled by the end of series and to pursue being a Pokémon Professor as his new goal, I also expect. Ash to move on from being a research fellow and do something else.
Cinderrace is a starter Pokémon it gets different treatment compared to non starter Pokémon like Onix.
That’s not the point. Cinderace being a starter only matters for now where it’s at the apex of its popularity. In a hypothetical situation where Go is going to Gen 9’s series/region, he isn’t obligated to keep it or it could be in a situation like Ash’s Kanto starters in Johto where they stayed until they were phased out for other Pokémon. Being a starter doesn’t guarantee you get better treatment either otherwise Charizard & Greninja would’ve been back. Getting different treatment as a starter doesn’t save you from being replaced by the next set of new Pokémon .
And I think it can happen. Satoshi is not the only one who wants to beat the World Champion, so the possibility of someone getting ahead of him exists.
Don't even need that since the Raboot farewell fake out episode kind of showed he wants to be with Goh.
Not likely to happen in our lifetimes, dude. The whole reason the anime hasn't done that yet already is because Ash is marketable. People recognize Ash as THE Pokémon Trainer. So it doesn't matter if you're just getting into Pokémon or have been into Pokémon for years. You WILL either watch the anime or buy merchandise based off of the anime because Ash helps make it more immediately recognizable or comfortable as Pokémon. Replacing the entire cast for a reset to zero, or even just replacing protagonists within the same continuity, would just be counterproductive to those goals.
There is a difference between Cinderrace’s situation and Greninja and Charizard’s situation. Cinderrace as I said before is pretty much the Pikachu of his team unlike those two, he is Goh’s first Pokémon that he caught and his main partner. The only reason it works with Ash, when it comes to the starter mons that he has caught is because none of them were his first Pokémon that he started his journey with. Pikachu is a starter Pokémon and Ash’s main partner and he travels with Ash everywhere, the same applies with Cinderrace as it is the Pokémon that helped Goh in getting his journey started and it travels with Goh on every journey that he goes to. It would be like Dawn not having Piplup with her in her return episodes. It just does not sit well with me to see him just leave his partner at the lab in order to stay on this series and promote the new Gen starters.
Yeah pretty much every Master of 8 member wants to beat Leon, and Ash will take on Leon at series end, but even if he doesn’t beat him even though I still believe that he will. But if he doesn’t and we go with your line of thinking then I think that it would be bad story telling to have some Champion from Gen 9 come in out of no where to defeat Leon and then make Ash’s goal of defeating Leon like it is mentioned before every episode and when Ash mentions it in many episodes to re establish his goal to make it pointless just so they can continue this world traveling concept.
Whether or not it CAN happen isn't the point. The point is that MAKING it happen would be a bad choice for the story.
If that were the case, there would be a huge wave of hates against writers, even more than Goh.
Exactly.
