If I count right, besides Pikachu Ash has exactly 44 unreleased Pokemon right now. 35 Oaked, 4 in Alola and 5 JN Mons. So if he catches the Latias in ep 1 he can have a team of Pikachu, Latias and 4 reserves for all 11 episodes, + meet released ones along the way.
Though, if you add Squirtle, Pidgeot, Primeape, Mr. Mime (who might just count for current reserves but I think they can ignore that if need be lol), Lapras, Greninja, Goodra, Naganadel, Larvitar and Solgaleo it brings the total to 55 so could still be Pika + 5 old Mons per ep. But in order for this to happen he'd have to conveniently be carrying 5 Mons at the start to each ep, I'll allow it for Latias but for the whole show it'd be weird and not really necessary when any old Mons that officially rejoined would likely only do so at the end of their episode.
