Except M22 doesn't take place in that AU timeline. It is a CGI remake of the first movie.

I know. I just wanted the next films to stay in the alternate universe instead of going back to the old formula. If M22 bombed that might keep them from trying new things
The Alolan legendaries and UBs being tied deeply with the plot of the anime was probably another factor
I wonder if SS will continue SM's trend of letting mythicals be officially caught by the protagonists by the way.
I know some aren't big on the handling but it was interesting to see usually elusive Pokemon be main characters and part of the main group this time round.

If Ash's Galarian team is comprised of marketable Pokemon again he could end up with a second mythical. Or legendary

Lover of underrated characters
I'd be okay with that, but only if they space it out. Not like SM where Ash got Meltan, Mallow befriended Shaymin, and Lillie 'received' Magearna all within 5 episodes
And actually take the time to make you care for more than just one of them, it's hard to care about Shaymin at all given how little we saw of a personality and the fact it might leave Mallow, and Magearna's going to literally be the same way as she'll awaken with a handful(or even one or two) of episodes to showcase any personality
Like if the first mythical of the generation is going to be caught, don't wait until the very end of the damn saga to give it to somebody!

I wonder which artstyle we are going to have this time..
DuquÊ?
Too lazy to pick a pic
Dunno, I'd down for something stylized like Slugterra or TMNT 2012, for example, but well executed. However, animeverse wise, 3D just doesn't feel as Pokemon in the long run. People complained a lot about SM changed the classic style, but I liked have the characters less "square" and more "rounded". If anything, Ash's hair in SM is kinda...iffy. I don't think they will ditch 2D for 3D in the main anime so soon.
I hope nothing aside a starter and some special wild card this time (I'm even missing the early route bird now), but if anything, give him a full team this time, maybe an extra mon just for the sake of not forget he can send/pick things to/from Oak. Give more love to his old mons would be very appreciated too.

I feel like most if not all of Satoshi's previous teams have been assembled from marketable Pokemon for the most part. It's one of the few things that's consistent about his character since the writers like promoting popular Pokemon such as the Starters on his team, which is partially why I was thinking before that he might get all three Galar Starters.

Since galar is looking like pro battle region, i think most of ash's team will evolve this time just like sinnoh and kalos. I hope they give him starter who had good final evolution design sort of like in sinnoh. Its shocking they have not given a great full evolved fire type starter since infernape since emboa, delphox and incineroar all have underwhelming design and from the looks of it scorbunny's final evolution will join that group.

Now I wonder if Team Rocket will challange the Galar League and who will be there sponsor if there do?
I bet Jessie will be the one that will try to challange this league like she did both Contests and Showcases.

While the Team Rocket trio doing gyms is an new idea would they stand a chance against trainers that would give Ash a difficult challenge?

I remember Lillie being announced in the 6/2/16 trailer, and Mallow, Kiawe, Sophocles, and Lana followed in the 8/1/16 trailer. I wasn’t around for the BW prerelease cycle, so I’m not sure about Iris and Cilan; I can faintly remember Clemont first being in a CoroCoro scan around Summer 2013. So from that, we can tentatively say they tend to choose characters announced right in the middle of the prerelease cycle.

Going by that logic Bea and Allister have the best chance of appearing sadly. I don’t like neither of their appearances.

I dont think they are strong enough to win gym badges, as seen with dawn winning a gym badge is far more difficult than winning contest ribbon.

I really like Allister and I think he has potential as a companion, but Bea all around isn’t very appealing to me either. Her design is very blocky and rounded which I think would look awkward in motion, and a companion with virtually no personality like Bea would be so monotonous to watch. There’s still a chance that neither of them will be on the cast though; Lillie was announced in June and she’s arguably the main Pokégirl of SM. It’s all just coincidence anyways in the long term, imo.
