Oh my gosh, if he just plows through with Greninja, I will be so mad. I mean, I like the whole fusion thing, but I don't want it to be the only battling method he has to use for the rest of forever when he wants to win.
I'm trying a thousand tears right now, why must the anime hurt us like this?
Yo guys, if you have seen all the news on Pokemon Sun and Moon, I can honestly say I would not mind at all if Serena is replaced by the female from Sun and Moon games. I love Serena, but I really love the female's design in Pokemon Sun and Moon. Hopefully they don't treat her like White/Hilda and ignore her and give him a gym leader if Serena is replaced.
I think in some weird way, they think that if Ash starts winning leagues and actually becoming a "Pokemon Master", maybe people would stop watching? Because it could reach that mentally of "Oh, he's accomplished it's goal, it's done now". Though, I definitely do think that part of Ash's character staying mostly the same, would be the newer writers trying to stay true to the original, like you said in a way.Because we are Ash-fan and he wasn't created by Tomioka's team! He was created by Takeshi Shudo's Team.
Just look at Alain who is in fact created by Tomioka's team.
He gets a free keystone and Mega Charizard right at the start of the series and reach E4 level only in 4 episode.
While Shota just stay off-screen and come back with more badge , Keystone , Mega Sceptile and more power then Ash. He even got a better team then Ash.
While Ash is in this anime for 700 episode yet he can't win a league and reach an E4 trainer level! He had One Pseudo-Legendary pokemon that he had to release and A "Something Like Mega" that might kill him while destroying all his possibility to have any megevolve pokemon.
Ash losing the Kalos League would be the biggest prof of Writers favoritism! If Writers doesn't favor anyone then Ash will win Kalos League since its his Main goal! Alain's main goal is to be The strongest Megevolution user which he nearly fulfilled after beating Malva and Shota goal was to megevolve Sceptile SO ASH IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAVEN'T FULFILLED HIS MAIN GOAL.
I'd just haate it if they replace Serena so soon. I personally wanted her to continue with Ash forever, but since thats not gonna happen. So, i'd like it if she continued with him for atleast 3-5 gens.
Here's my honest opinion about what I want Sun & Moon to be like. I'd love it if Ash is with TWO newbie trainers. Two instead of one. Maybe the guy newbie could be unsure of what his goal is, and the girl newbie could try racing, as IcyIce stated above me.
...But two newbies will never happen. He'll probably get with one of the most kid looking male gym leader as his male companion. :|
I'd love to see a group of new trainers with Ash, but like you said the later will probably happen instead :s
Yeah, probably. It's a shame how the anime never really does anything new with itself. In B/W, Ash was technically travelling with two Gym Leaders, so one thing I do hope is that they don't repeat this pattern in Sun/Moon. If they're replacing Ash (which I also doubt), they'll probably replace him with the new male trainer from Alola.
Here's an interesting theory: what if they DO replace Ash, and the anime follows the games more closely? Probably only a 3% of that happening, though...
I heard a reason as to why Yo-Kai Watch is extremely popular is because Pokemon has been doing literally the same concepts for 20 years and the Japanese kids are getting bored of repetitive formats, and that's what I likely blame for the bad XY ratings.
But if the writers pick up on that bad performance, I'm sure they'll do some huge changes for SM. Replacing Ash would be a bit still far-off but it could work if they are going to do a complete reboot that seems likely not to happen.
What's funny is that Pokemon's staff has said that they're keeping it the same, because that's what people fell in love with years ago. I think they're worried about changing, which sucks, because change is what a lot of us have been hoping for. They can change how Pokemon operates and make it less repetitive without losing it's charm, they just need to figure out how.I heard a reason as to why Yo-Kai Watch is extremely popular is because Pokemon has been doing literally the same concepts for 20 years and the Japanese kids are getting bored of repetitive formats, and that's what I likely blame for the bad XY ratings.
Honestly, with how X and Y is handling itself, you won't know what to expect this time around. Ash could win a league, and be replaced, hell, Serena could join Ash, anything is possible. It's way too early to call the shots now, anyway.
But, what I do know is that Yo Kai Watch and Pokemon are handled by the same animation team.
