If Ash gets Rowlet and the regional bird. I hope that will be it for his flying types. Hopefully the regional bird is another type other than normal for its final evolution.

Everyone is thinking about which starter the new girl will have. However who knows if even get the girl character as a companion. They can use her as Ash's rival and give him a different female to travel with.

If it is a different female then, then a starter doesn't really have to go to her unless she is a Grass, Fire, or Water type specialist. However we already had a Water one.

Clemont was both a gym leader and a electric specialist and yet he still got Chespin.

Honestly, I think Ash should only get Rowlet. Time and time again, the writers have proven they are terrible at handling multiple starters.

Idk, I don't see Ash woth Rowlet more than with Popplio. Ash usually gets the regional bird and this season we are currently on, he has 3 flying types with him. He needs a rest from the flying type mania lol

Or for the first time ever, he just doesn't get the regional bird? We don't need multiple flying types on the team again. Give one of them to a companion and have Ash's team more diverse on typing.

I'm hoping he gets the regional bird and Litten. Followed by Pokemon we've yet to see.

I would like either Litten or Rowlet for Ash as Popplio seems like it could pull an Oshawott/Piplup so I'd rather it belong to a companion. The other 2 i could see evolving at least once under Ash's care. I personally prefer Litten for Ash.

I feel like the writers will lean more towards litten, even though I would want rowlet to be ash's go to starter in the upcoming generation. The reason I feel like it would be litten is one ash is already going to capture the regional flying type, unless the writers finally break that trend (I mean they have broken lots of trends with X/Y and if thats the case then rowlet could be the choice). I just feel like going with popplio wouldn't be ash's choice since this whole run with greninja, and the other case with rowlet would be the numerous flying types ash has gotten so far in X/Y (being three already). Plus I remember someone saying the writers never give ash a feline pokemon so I can then see them breaking that trend with litten.

Just realized that the 20th movie in the series will take place in the games celebrating the 20th anniversary. What a coincidence

I am pretty sure Ash won't get all three starters. The female lead in SM will probably be the girl from the trailer, since she doesn't look that old to be ruled out. And that means that she'll get a starter after starting her journey.

She might be Ash's female companion, but we don't know that for sure. We might get another BW scenario and have a female non-playable character from Sun and Moon tag along with Ash instead.

If not a companion then what about a rival? We are long overdue for a female rival.

After the way his Kalos team has been set up, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with three Pokemon of the same type again in Alola...

I can actually see the current cast making their ways to Sun/Moon for a number of reasons.
1) The whole Complete Form Zygarde is unresolved in the games and Bonie is the keeper of the red Zygarde Core.
2) Serena looks an awful lot like the fair customized version of the female playable character.
3) This cast in particular seems to be pretty popular in Japan

I could be wrong of course, probably am in fact, but I could see it happening.

Bonnie isn't keeping the red Zygarde Core. It is most likely leaving after Team Flare has failed in their plan. I rather see a new cast with Ash as the main character still.

I'd love to see Ash with Popplio, but I'm thinking he'll get Litten. I'm very curious to see how XY wraps up before November 18th and what we'll get from Sun/Moon. Maybe the writers will take the AG approach and give him an original outfit because the Sun/Moon protag's doesn't seem interesting enough to adapt in the anime for Ash. It's not dynamic looking enough and Ash always seems to rock the coolest clothes (definitely for marketing purposes lol...). They always do tweak the protagonist's clothes, but it's definitely going to be interesting to see what they do here.

I'd like to see Serena come back (new hairstyle and clothes), and give us a new male companion. Maybe the male protagonist?

If were up to me I would like the starter were shared as follows:
Rowlet for Ash, Popplio for female companion and Litten for rival Ash, hopefully out girl because I have hopes (or rather, desire) that can screenwriters can handle a female opponent in a decent way. Of course, if one of the starter out for the opponent would have much less presence in the show respect to the other two so I really doubt that it can be the case.

I kinda want to remind people, that while giving one of the starters to a rival makes logical sense. They are also probably going to have the starters owned by the main characters as well. They need characters that appear in almost every episode to market thm. So what you give the rivals and don't give Ash/Girl. Then the third character would be where it also goes.

If it is true as the starter should always appear "together" on screen, but I do not like the option of the "third" companion (since the girl is always the second in importance) have a starter that will be wasted, either for use of humorous gag (Chespin of Clemont, that not even evolved) or relieve a role of being alone background fill (such as Mudkip Brock)

ash should catch all the starters as he did in the initial leagues

Possibly but he didn't fully evolve a Johto starter or Unova starter because he caught all three regional starters of those regions. Some prefer one starter capture so it can fully evolve without the other two taking development from it. I would like all three starters too and I would love to see all three fully evolve but I have to be realistic when it comes to Ash owning a starter pokemon.

it's best that Ash gets 2 and the girl gets the other one. She Serena got fire last region Ash should get the Litten and one more starter with the girl getting the remaining starter
