Elm barely appeared during johto, famI'd actually take them being shoehorned into every episode over them appearing once or twice every 10-14..... how's that even fair? We only went ONE freaking episode without the classmates appearing in some capacity. None for worst professor.... -.-
They're literally the only reason I watch the anime anymore, I barely rewatch episodes without them
The only thing about them from this saga I want to stick is for them and the Pokemon to actually have character again, it was hardly present in XY and not at all in BW
If they don't want to use them, then it's time for them to go. But they seem as scared of that as if not more than Ash winning a League... almost as if they know a lot of people will drop off with them gone

Well, BW was supposed to be their last saga. They had a big operation and Giovanni even showed up in person. It would've been a bad last saga for TRio due to their lack of personality for about 2/3 of BW, but it would've worked as a send off for the organization as a whole.I'd hate to see Musashi, Kojirou, and Nyasu leave the anime since they're pretty much of equal importance to the series as Satoshi is from my perspective, but I've seen a lot of speculation that SM might be their last saga. I don't agree with those theories however since I seem to recall people claiming that Best Wishes would be the Rocket-dan trio's last saga too, and of course it wasn't. The writers can figure out some way to keep the Rocket-dan trio relevant in Galar if they try hard enough.
Stocking him? They just gonna keep him in a suitcase or something?My guess is Ash will end up traveling with the female player character and she will have some made up anime thing as her goal and a male gym leader will be the other travel companion and of course Team Rocket will be stocking him.

This seems to be implying that a different character would somehow be spared this fate...The female playable character would be the worst option as a companion imo. She'll probably have a goal like performing that doesn't involve battling and she probably won't battle much or have more than 3 Pokemon on her team.
Well there is Sonia but unless they de age her significantly she is a bit too old.Any other possibilities for a female companion other than a gym leader and the playable character?
I'd figure a gym leader would be more battle-focused, whereas there is probably more leniency for a playable character.

The main cast is definitely going to have a girl on it, whether that be the player character or someone else, and going by the show's record in recent years, she's probably going to be stereotypically girly... though I would absolutely be thrilled if they decided to go a different direction with her.
I agree with the sentiment of having a less stereotypically girly character which is why I think Bea has the best chance of providing an interesting dynamic with Ash, based on what we’ve seen so far we would avoid any similarity with recent “girly” girls.
