Iwane postet this yesterday, which could be a hint for the SwSh anime. Need a proper translation though.

Iwane also drew Bede and Galarian Zigzagoon, so you can take it as him just drawing the new reveals in the trailer. They all look great in this style, though.

I agree that it probably doesn't mean anything given that Iwane also tweets cat photos and retweets fan art of Pokemon characters on a weekly basis. But I'm slowly warming up to the idea of Mary joining the cast, regardless. She's up there with Rurina for me at the moment.

Considering Nessa has been in most of the promos (mostly brief), was one of the first Gym leaders revealed, had a bunch of fan art and was used in the demo; I’m hoping she’s a companion or at least gets Korrina focus in the anime.

Yup, just scrolled through Iwane's blog. Although it is nice too see Marny and Bede drawn by her.

I can see Nessa being the next Korrina tbh. Both are respectively some of the most popular characters in both of their generations, have enough fan art to fill Pixiv/Tumblr/Twitter to the brim, and are used to promote the games a decent amount. I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets a sizable amount of focus in the anime.

I can also see her getting re-designed in the anime which would be interesting since she’d be the third Gym leader/Kahuna receiving a re-design (Lenora and Olivia).

Nessa could have more casual clothes with her swimming clothes under them, like Lana and Misty in SM

If she gets new clothes to make her look less revealing, then I wouldn't see the point of her even keeping her swimming clothes underneath since it seems unlikely that we'll see lots of swimming scenes in the Galar saga since the region looks pretty cold.

Each series needs to be it's own canon verse. This would solve the whole Ash never winning issue and means we could even have female Ash for once. Each series could have Ash in a different light. Older Ash,female Ash,emo Ash,comedy Ash etc. I could see SwSh Ash as being very sporty after having been addicted to the league concept. Though seeing a passionate driven female doing the league in male driven demograhpic would be a very nice change of pace for once.

I doubt fan art plays a part since by now the anime would likely be planned out for the first 13 if not more episodes assuming it still takes 9 month them. Maybe less now since that was said in 2011. I'm curious how much freedom they have with the anime Does GF tell them what to do or do they just get all the designs and can pick who to use and who to not make a friend?

Female Satoshi would be a Satoshi in crossdress again

When should the next issue of CoroCoro leak? I believe the only thing in September’s issue was TCG art, but next month’s issue should definitely have anime news. There’s also a chance we might get a preview after SM139, as it airs on September 15th, and XYZ’s one-hour special aired on that day with an SM anime preview. It should also be the day the last/second to last League episode airs, and around the time CoroCoro is released, so it’s a pretty busy day overall.

If she’s as good and active as Corni, bring her on board. Though if she’s a Water-Type specialist allow her to have Pokemon of other types. Nagisa added so much fun for Suiren, Water-type or not and I never liked monotype-only teams. Iris getting Emonga/Doryuzu, Takeshi getting baby ‘mon suiting his Breeder schtick, were great. I want to see a girl with a brutal Pokemon on the cast like the snapping turtle, reminds me of Doryuzu/Kairyu for Iris, Kasumi’s Gyarados or Haruka’s Burysamo.

I’d like to see Bea take on some sort of sports side quest and a male companion (the male MC finally? Ash can get his own, original outfit) take on PokeJobs.

Both ideas have potential to give some fun side stories, and if they’re going the traditional 3-man-squad route then I think the writers need to give all three cast members decent agency.

Who knows after SM though? We may get another curveball.

Never got the term leak here since it isn't a leak if a person gets it. It is just a person getting it legally as far as I am aware and just putting it online. Magazines at least when I got Becket yars ago came at random times even when it was supposed to be the 15h.

The fact SM never got a single movie makes me think it was a one time thing. Like I can totally see them going back to the normal stuff for the series and movies next gen. YW was big at the time and maybe they felt they wanted to piggyback off of it so they adapted the anime to be like YW in it's own way but now that YW has died down they might go back. Though as you said another curveball might happen but even if it does I don't think it would be as big. Might be something like TR leaving for good or might be a different art. At least I hope it is not as major as SM

It'd be nice for him to simply get an original outfit without the male player character being an actual character again.

I'm not so sure about that, mainly because if they go back to what it was before where they use the characters from the main anime then they go back to restricting themselves. Basically it will have the same restrictions that movies 1-19 have being that all of the main cast characters(excluding Team Rocket trio) that aren't move exclusive characters have to show up and any pokemon they use have to be ones that they have with them in the current anime, and there pokemon can't evolve, or learn new moves, and they Ash and his companions can't get any captures that don't leave at the end of the movie.

This is because despite the argument of the movies being non-canon if they had any pokemon on the main cast in them that aren't from movie exclusive characters evolve or learn new moves, or one of the main characters like Ash gets a new capture then that would have to carry over to the main anime, meaning that people that don't see the movie will miss out on that team change. However the reason why this wasn't a problem for movies 20, 21, and 22 was because they were meant to be set in a different universe that was separate from the main anime.

So, while I'm not saying that it's impossible that they could have the next movie go back to the old format of having some connection to the main anime, at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if movie 19 wound up being the last movie that has any connection to the main anime that we got, because having the movies being completely separated from the main anime would give them more freedom.

Or they are going use some au stuff but movie might return to main canon version of Satoshi and his world
