    Okay, out of the five special trainers only Marley and Buck have yet to be introduced. While Cheryl and Riley had multiple episode appearances, Mira was left with a CoTD [Character of The Day] debut. Buck had a somewhat important role with the whole Stark Mountain fiasco with Team Galactic but it seems that Team Galactic's arc will be finished before Stark Mountain even appears. Marley on the other hand had a less significant role but you could argue the same with Cheryl since she only wants you to escort her out of the Eterna Forest.

    So the question: How do you think Marley and Buck will be introduced? I personally hope that Marley is trainer in the Sinnoh League and that Buck will be on Mt. Coronet since I don't see how Stark Mountain can be introduced.
     
    Umm... I think Ash will go to Stark MT. for exploration, when he explores, he will meet up with Buck.
    And for Marley, I think that Ash wants to know more about the Pokemon Shaymin, so he needs to go through Victory Road, and then he meets up with Marley.

    ^ That doesn't really make sense, you know. Satoshi wouldn't just wanna know about Shaymin. He'd either accidentally "find out", or Marley introduces Shaymin to the group.

    As for me, I would think that:
    -Marley would appear during an arc before the Pokemon League, and she'll say she wants to find some filler item in some cave that directs trainers to the Pokemon League, because I've never really seen the REAL Victory Road in the anime (unless I missed that episode). Then the trio and Marley will find it and get out of the cave, with Team Rocket obstacles before they find the item, of course. She might not be a league battler, so this may be her debut.
    -Buck may be found in a filler town, operating his shop, whch was in Survival Area in Pt, and we see a Sinnoh gym leader. Ash, in his hyper state, would ask that gym leader to battle him. They go to the battlefield, and Ash would realise that that particular gym leader's stronger and there's a lot of Pokemon with him. After all, we've never seen a rematch Pokemon team. Then Buck would say something like "I'm going to some place (possibly Stark Mountain)" and he leaves the shop.

    Although these may be impossible, these are my ideas. Enjoy readin'?

    Haha this is exactly what I see happening. It's a shame. No depth to the Pokemon anime. Eh. It'll still be cool if they have Buck and Marley in the anime though.
     
    DP does seem to be putting in more effort to see game characters, we've even seen the Underground Man which was quite surprising, and one of the game rivals having a role in the anime, which we haven't seen since Gary. Also, we've had gym leaders coming back for random episodes, which off the top of my head, I don't think has happened before. I can't remember who Buck is, but I'm fairly sure we'll at least get to see them both in the anime. I'm not sure what they'll be doing, though.

    No, Victory Road has never been in the anime before. Ash and co. getting lost in a cave for episodes on end right before the league doesn't sound very appealing to me :/ Better than getting lost in the generic forest though, I suppose XD

    I'm still trying figure out if Stark Mountain will be included at all. You can't move it to Johto and it isn't on the mainland of Sinnoh so it might just be left out.

    It might be in, Battle Frontier is on the island where Stark Mountain is, right? High chance of having Stark Mountain in.
     
    Depending on how long they want to drag out Sinnoh, they could make a few episodes detour to Stark Mountain, since they randomly went to the Old Chateau (I don't think they were actually passing anywhere near where the Old Chateau is in the games?) They could meet Buck there, although there wouldn't be much else to do unless the writers are intent on having Heatran make an appearance in the TV show. They could meet Palmer there as well, but I think they're just going to meet him wherever they place the Battle Frontier.
     
    Yea I think Palmer will be introduced too as Barry's dad, but the thing is, I really hoped they don't do another Battle Frontier arc. One was enough. I do think they will revisit Johto for some reason or other though since after FR/LG came out they did a new Kanto arc. Perhaps they will finally go back for the GS ball since it was just forgotten about about the Azalea Town episodes.
     
    I was thinking marley may be a pokemon league competitor and he has to battle her with a 6 on 6 and i think just before the league ash wants to train and he goes to stark mountain and he meets up with buck
     
    I bet Marley is going to be a one-time character and Buck...Mt. Stark of course.
