Hoenn League Discussion (May contain spoilers)

If he wins that does not mean it needs to end after all to be a Master, don't you think you need to win all the leagues? I dont think it would mean an end. XD
Well, it wouldn't make sense if he won one league and lost the next, and if he continued to win all the leagues from here on out, the anime would become even more predictable (and consequently more boring) than it already is.
 
You can win a league and then not win one.
Things are not perfect just because you reach one goal
 
Ash is only going to use Hoenn pokemon? YES.

Time to go and yell "HAHA, ASH AIN'T BRINGIN BACK CHARIZARD FOO!" to everyone. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*cough, hack*

I think Ash'll to really well. Really, if he can get into the top eight while never training much, I'm sure he can probably get in the top two or something. Maybe top four. I dunno if he'll win though...
 
Yeah well to truly be a master you need to master every league(which doesn't mean winning it). So if Ash does win this one, it doesn't mean he will stop being the main character. Plus May would probably accompany him if they do another series because I think that is why they made her lose her first Grand Festival for Co-Ordinators, just like Ash didn't his first.

QUESTION: Why do you think Ash has never faced Lance, even though they have met on more than one occasion?. So do you think we will see Lance again in the future?

[font=Frutiger SAIN Bd v.1]Well they met in Johto and Hoenn as you know, but why didn't Ash ever face him, I would have liked to see that even though he might have lost, because he faces Drake from the Hoenn Elite 4 in a normal match, so why not Lance? XD. I think we might see him in the future XD.[/font]

Here's the problem with Ash winning (i.e. getting first place) in ANY of the Leagues:

If Ash wins one league and not the next, there's gonna have to be an explanation as to why, and as the writers don't like to imply that Ash wins/loses his battles by luck, then:

One explanation would be that he slacked off after winning and got overconfident, which would actually be a good plot point and good char development, but the writers would actually have to remember to write the entire story up to the next region's league with Ash training less or having a visibly weaker team or something likethat, which would be difficult, and moreover, the writers have already established that Ash can be a slacker in everything EXCEPT Pokemon training. So that wouldn't work.

And if not that, then:

Another explanation is that the trainers of the region with the League that Ash actually won are overall worse trainers than other regions' trainers (which we know is not true of Hoenn, what with Harrison), and this will disappoint/anger a lot of Hoenn fans.
 
^good point
Do you think anyone will make a surprising appearance?

Perhaps Gary or Misty. Or maybe both.
 
Its possible someone may appear.


I still say he could win and go on to more leagues.
If he is going to be a Master he needs to conquer more than one league.
 
Mwar, he's not bringing back his old Pok?mon? Pity. I'll miss his Charizard.
 
Surprise appearance?

Hmm. I doubt Shigeru (Gary) since the VA quit. Unless they got another one, but I heard the Japanese don't replace VA's much. *shrugs*

As for Misty... I don't even want to go there. <.<
 
Yeah i hope misty comes then she could cheer ash on!

I think he will be beaten with a guy with senasels evoulved form that would be cool! (and also very predictable)
 
It would be AWESOME if Misty came x3
 
How do you think he will do in the League?

Do you think he will make a friend and then be beat by them like in Kanto and Johto?

What postion do you think Ash will get in the Hoenn League?


Don't forget these questions too.


Ash is getting close in Japan, I cannot wait to see how he does in the League =3
 
I once wrote a fanfic where Misty returns in the middle of Ash's final battle and gives him the confidence he needs to win, but in all seriousness, I don't think it'll happen. Since there's still the Diamond and Pearl generation after this, I doubt Ash will win, but I do suspect he'll make the Top 4. And I highly suspect that Grovyle will evolve at some point during the tournament - they still haven't shown Sceptile in the anime or in any movies, and I assume it's because they were saving it for Ash. Not only that, but they haven't shown a Metang yet, so if Ash is pitted in a battle with Masamune's Beldum, both their Pok?mon could evolve and polish off the list of Hoenn Pok?mon in one fell swoop. Even if Ash doesn't win in the end, that'd be an awesome battle.
 
I really dont want to see him lose to a friend.
 
it always happens *sighs* cant the writers think of anything else
anyway the questions:

How do you think he will do in the League?

Well i hope but knowing sato he will probaly muck it up XD

Do you think he will make a friend and then be beat by them like in Kanto and Johto?

Hasent that already happned?

What postion do you think Ash will get in the Hoenn League?


Probaly 2nd but if he loses max is gonna take the Pee XD
 
Do you think he will make a friend and then be beat by them like in Kanto and Johto?

Hasent that already happned?
Yes it even says so in the question. The point is do you think it will happen again.


It also happened to May at the Grand Festival she lost to Drew.
