- Will Ash take some of his pokemon over, as it seems a lot of older pokemon are represented. Or at least shift them throughout XY Saga?
It's a possibility, but if he does, then it will likely be a Pokémon that has a new evolution in X and Y a la Aipom coming to Sinnoh and later evolving into Ambipom. However, if this happens, I pray he doesn't trade it away. Poor Ambipom got traded and then later left the gang to play ping-pong. What?
- Will either Iris or Cilan follow Ash to the new region? Or will he have completely new companions?
Cilan has a better chance of sticking around for the next region more so than Iris does. Since this new region is based off of Paris, I think Cilan could fit in perfectly. Although, I'm hoping we get completely new companions. This time, however, it should be a boy trainer starting his journey for the first time and accompanying Ash instead of a girl. Then a Brock/Cilan replacement can come in in the form of a female character. Or, or, or wouldn't it be something if Misty returned and she had a Froakie with her and decided to rejoin Ash again? Eh, eh?
Haha, just kidding. That's probably never going to happen.
- Out of the starters, which do you personally prefer Ash to have or do you wish for him to have more then one?
Let's not give Ash a Froakie, yeah? Poor thing might be forever cursed from evolving unless his evolutions become a massive hit with the fanbase. I can definitely see Ash getting a Chespin. Fennekin doesn't seem to fit with Ash though.
I hope we get another rehash of the Hoenn saga where each starter is given to one of the main trio members. Perhaps the new male can have a Fennekin as his starter and go off to liking Pokémon Contests.
What, a guy can dream, can't he?
No, but seriously, when Ash is given just one starter (or two for the most), it allows his team to be more diverse with some of the other new Pokémon like how it was done in Hoenn and Sinnoh.
