I am in the "James and Brock NAO!!!!!" camp, personally. It has been such a long time since either of them has gotten anything that I would be surprised if the next person to get a Pokemon wasn't one of them (especially since Dawn and Ash's team are already filled to capacity).

Haha, yeah-- sexual harassment Chansey is my favorite, and the look on Joy's face is priceless. I just wish I remembered what episode it came from!
Hmm, I would think it was more just to fill empty space, to be honest. If you ever go to a small town like Pallet Town there are all of these fields full of nothing but tall grass. So it's basically a visual indication that Pallet is the middle of nowhere XD.
The first time I played at night, I was so freaked out by the fact that it went from day to night. I honestly thought I just needed to readjust my screen at first XD.
Also corroborating on the "It's a hat" thing, if you blow up the side-view sprite fairly big, there's a few pixels below the hat that are black that definitely would suggest he has hair and it's therefore just a (n unfortunate) cap.
