I'm pretty sure XY series will be good just lke the BW series was. We don't want the XY series to be an nightmare like the DP series, as for the Elite 4 Caitlin in the anime i thought she was handled really great.
Hopefully Ash may have all three of the Kalos region starters and that is something that is most likely to happen.
PS : Mods , We are discussing If Pokemon XY series should be BW series Or NOT ! So its not a Spam . First I said the mistake BW had Then I explain how everybody would want XY series to like . If You read the full Post then you will see that I'm not even comparing DP with BW here .
Just because some minority think BW is good & DP is a nightmare doesn't mean majority of Fan's (Specially Ash-fans) has to suffer another BW nightmare !
Before you call yourself majority , Read The Atmosphere !
I'm pretty sure nobody want a series Where -
-1) Ash is inferior to a rookie because he/she is the first rival Ash met !
-2) Ash losing all his development after all trouble he get though for that development because some idiot writer decide to reboot an In-rebootable character .
-3) Stupid rushed tournament with cheap 1 on 1 battle.
-4)Boring Gym battle with no creative battle tactic and a final 6 vs 3 gymbattle !
-5) Most Cast Pokemon are undeveloped ! Ash team's look more like a ''Team Baby'' !
-6)
A shot league with stupid filler where Ash got demoted by losing to a idiot who didn't even used a 6TH POKEMON .
-7) Wasting Charizard return with pathetic saga where it just a replacement for Unfezant.
-8) A stupid filler saga with no quest or plot ! Just Ash & little Pokemon friend dancing in a forest . Seriously , If you believe that Kids simple like to see some Kids going on an adventure cute Animal then don't you think everybody could a billionaire by making Kids Anime like this and sold its toys ???? Pokemon reach high peck of Popularity because it had something more then Some Kids going on a quest with their cute Animal friend !
Ask anyone here because I don't think anyone want to see the repeat of all those event accept you ! Because those event were pathetic and only reason anyone try to show them as good idea would be because he/she is related to the idiot's who came up with those idea !
However , Majority of People would want A series That total opposite of BW Series , Such as -
-I) Ash to have real main rival who doesn't need to beat Ash to prove he/she's strong or create Competition.Example : Blue (Pokespe) , Koga (Pokemon DPA) .
-II) Ash will be superior to all Rookie's and act as their Mentor & Idol.
-III) Ash keep all his development and become even more competent & Badass ! Also for him to retain the Arrogance , Drive to Win and Playfulness he once had in Original series .
-IV)Good Tournament like Wallace cup with great battle ! Also A Double Battle Tournament & A triple Battle Tournament!
-V) A series that has Humor like the Kanto Series Or Sgt Frog ! But it will also have in-depth plot like DP Series !
A series that won't going to sacrifice Ash & the plot for the sake of pointless humor that isn't even funny !
-VI)Exciting Gym battle with creative tactic like DP series.
-VII) Fully Developed Pokemon Like DP & AG !
-VIII) Charizard returning on a real Saga with a Plot Or Quest Where Ash going to use him in some serious Battle against some powerful rival.
-IX)
A longer league with no meaningless filler which Ash win's ! And if he lose's then he would lose to someone deserving and achieve a higher rank then the previous League's .
-X) A Plot Based filler Saga ! Or a PMT Saga !
If You like Series Where Protagonist makes a fool out of himself then go and watch ''Doreamon'' Because Nobita makes a good fool out of him in every episode .
But Pokemon Ain't Doreamon !
Kids exception from Pokemon is different from Doreamon .
Your not Ash-fan so You dont get it .
But all other other real Ash-fan doesn't want to see Ash being humiliate in XY the same way he was humiliate in BW !
FOR A REAL ASH-FAN , BW SERIES IS A NIGHTMARE !!!!
