I read part of those scans the other guy said above -_- (great, sigh..)
I had just saw a better image of the Alan screen, as the one shown here was crap. So it is apparently confirmed that Trevor indeed will have Mega Charizard Y (vs Alan's Charizard... in a 3v3 battle).
What people want is six captures EXCLUDING Pikachu since that is what always happens so they think it NEEDS to happen again.
I've been saying forever that Ash already has six pokemon including Goodra but no one listened to me lol.
That's not what people want. That is also in the minority. People just want Ash with a full team, including Pikachu (whom should not be included). Over the months and years I had also believed when people said 6th capture they meant actual 6 regional captures, but what they have mostly always meant was a 6th (general) capture with Pikachu included. Like I said previously, there is a misconception with captures people want Ash to have and how its used. (It also did not happen in AG, which XY seems to apparently doing the samething, so it doesn't "always" happen.)
.... Six Pokemon, six regional captures, etc are not all the same. And Ash does not have six Pokemon unless Goodra is actually planned to both come back to Ash and for good. A burrow will not count, regardless of how you try to sugar coat it. There's a difference between a friend and a friend in training, especially if Goodra is only brought back for this generation then not used in future generations. If Goodra comes back, he'll have 6 Pokemon, a complete team, but he will not have 6 regional captures or a 6th capture (since Pikachu does not count). Labeling Goodra or Noivern as 6th capture additionally is not only technically wrong but also =/= 6th slot. I just mentioned this in my previous reply.
Clarity
- 6th Capture = 6th Regional capture (Pikachu is a pre-capture so it does not count as a new capture per generation, nor even as an older generation capture like Aipom in Sinnoh)
- 6th Slot/Pokemon = Full Mon Team (with Pikachu included, because capture =/= slot). Pikachu
takes up a slot, one of the 6 slots a trainer has per generation (if they store their mons), but it's not a capture as it's already caught prior to new captures.
Examples
Greninja is Ash's first capture this generation, but Pikachu is Ash's first slot Pokemon this generation. Furthermore, Talonflame is Ash's 2nd capture this generation but 3rd slot Pokemon, not his 3rd capture because of Pikachu's relevance; Pikachu does not count towards captures, only slot.
So like I said, some people use the terminologies right and some use it wrong. I tend to personally use it the right way-- Goodra is Ash's 4th capture, original 5th slot, and hypothetical future 6th slot (because of the departure), while Noivern is Ash's 5th (last if nothing else comes up after Goodra) capture and new 4th slot. If Goodra returns however, I believe it changes again back to the original way.
