New ways of introducing the next companion(s)

I had this idea just now: what if in the final episodes of BW or whatever Ash meets the girl/boy he'll travel in the next series? Like Ash meets him/her/them, they spend some time together and head over to the next region together. Ash would be interest in the place their heading to and they'd eventually travel together.

What do you think? And what other ways should the next companions be introduced in your opinions?

Or they can be even triggered by Pokédex event as Iris was. In Gen 5 Biance was shown in the game and Iris as Gym leader so we can't say who could be the companion in the upcoming Gen by seeing the game.

Yes it would be interesting to see what way they do this, I guess the 'bike trigger' may come back again lol

I meant to ask what would be your ideas for a new way of introducing the next companion. It might not happen but it's fun to toss ideas around.

I can see them pulling out the old bike maneuver again.

If I had any ideas on how they could do it differently, however, then I wouldn't mind Ash meeting his new companion before arriving to the new region. For example, his new companion would be heading back to his/her homeland to receive their starter and begin their journey after a recent vacation with his or her family in Kanto. Before the trip back home, an event takes place that allows Ash and this new companion to meet. They don't however talk about where the new kid is from.

Later, on the boat or plane to the new region, Ash spots his soon-to-become traveling companion once again. From here, Ash learns that he or she is about to start off on their own journey while Ash explains he's about to begin a new one soon.

From there, you see the two of them looking toward a nearby region of land. Cue "Next Time... A New Beginning!" at the bottom of the screen. Roll ending credits!
