I hope this thread is constantly added with new theories as I'd love reading about other fans' theories on how the World Championships will progress.
As we all pretty much realise, they are hyping up a series finale of Ash vs Leon, this could be very far in the future as this may still be the anime even when Gen 9 comes out.
I'll post my theory, starting from the end (I'll explain why later):
So, basically to beat Leon, Ash will have to beat Charizard and I think due to losing against Alain's Charizard, Ash-Greninja will somehow make a return. Even if Ash loses to Leon (which he rightfully should) I think similar to how Ash was the only one to beat Tobias' Darkrai, Ash will shock the world by beating Leon's Charizard, but will later get wrecked by all his other members.
Anyway, the reason I started here is because for Greninja to return and be used, this means Ash will eventually realise that in order to compete at the highest level, he'll need to use his full arsenal. Even though his new team is probably the best he's ever had at such a stage in an arc, I don't see him using the same 6 Pokemon the entire series (or however many he catches this series).
I think at one point, probably when Ash reaches the Top 500, he'll go into a rut and lose 5-10 matches in a row. After that he'll decide to call upon his reserves. And then we see all the oldboisandgurls come back and wreak havoc. This will happen after his current roster is fully developed.
Coming back to Ash's final Match vs Leon, I really hope he uses his best 6. This is another discussion in this thread but what team would you like Ash to use vs Leon.
I believe his best 6 would be:
1. Greninja
2. Infernape
3. Charizard (who loses in the mirror)
4. Snorlax
5. Sceptile
6. Pikachu (it's in nearly every important battle ever)
What are all your thoughts on the future of the World Championships?
