Re: BW104: "Fierce Fighting! Win Out in the Rival Battle!"
Stephan or Bianca is probably going to be the eliminated rival if there is one. The can't get rid Kotetsu or Virgil because they are too new and Trip had a huge tournament meant to glorify him. However it is possible that are going to eliminate Trip. Now I'm sure plenty of you have heard of this graph. You'll have to click on it I expected it to be bigger
Using the first star wars movie this graph represents ideal the ideal tension curve a hook followed by peaks and valleys. The relevant part is the hook. I think a Virgil or Kotetsu v Trip fight would be a good hook given Trip's recent Junior Cup win and the fact that Trip regained respect for Alder meaning rival wise he's pretty done. All he needs for his story to be done is to gain respect for Ash and that could be done through Ash beating his vanquisher.

I wouldn't like it if this were the outcome, i'd rather see Ash beat Trip, even if it is the most predictable, boring, and stale outcome that could possibly happen in regards to Ash's and Trip's rivalry. I would however like it if Ash beats Trip in a full battle almost the same way Tobias beat Ash in the Sinnoh League, with Ash losing at most 2-3 pokemon during thier inevitable battle at the Unova League.

got top 4 in the GF too, what more do you want? He did very well for a rookie trying to balance out both.
Re: BW104: "Fierce Fighting! Win Out in the Rival Battle!"
This kind of aligns better with a post-League train of thought, but I think it's interesting to look at Ash's current rivals entering the League versus past rivals. Mainly the introduction of Kotetsu and Virgil so close to the commencement of the League. Part of me wonders if one is the typical League rival destined to knock Ash out (Ritchie, Harrison, Tyson, Tobias), and the other is there to replace one of the current rivals in the filler arc rather than just being league fodder in the mold of Morrison & Conway.
I think Bianca would stay given she has a counterpart in B2/W2 and has a more fleshed out team, and the writers could conceivably stretch out Trip's relevance by avoiding his match with Ash ala Gary in Kanto, but what excuse do they really have with keeping Stephan? He has had plenty of opportunities to showcase a more developed team, but we've only seen him with Blitzle/Zebstrika & Sawk, and he's gotten his regional glory with the Clubsplosion. I could see Stephan getting knocked out early (this episode) and someone like Virgil or Kotetsu taking his place in a filler saga.
Re: BW104: "Fierce Fighting! Win Out in the Rival Battle!"
lets see... Ash vs Kotetsu, Trip, Bianca, or Stephan. ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. well ash vs kotetsu is probliy going to be more painful than the battle with Marlon.... Trip, meh the most excitng of the bunch, Bianca, Ummmm.........., Stephan, PRONONCE MY NAME RIGHT!. I wonder if maybe since Kotetsu is of Supporter COTD status, i am curios if ash's "new rival" will appere. just like harriosn did way back when in the Johto leauge
Re: BW104: "Fierce Fighting! Win Out in the Rival Battle!"

Satoshi has an entire set of reserves at Araragi's to choose from, I am 99.9% certain that he will only be rotating those and none of the one he keeps at Okido's.
Re: BW104: "Fierce Fighting! Win Out in the Rival Battle!"
While seeing Ash use his older Pokemon sounds appealing in a way, I really doubt that's going to happen. If he did, that would make the decision for Ash to capture so many Unova Pokemon even more questionable. Not to mention this is the only League where his Unova Pokemon will have the best amount of screentime before being left either at Professor Juniper's or transferred for Professor Oak's place for a new team, so they might as well use them now while they can.

If a person is more comfortable using different but equally valid names, they don't have to change just because it inconveniences you slightly. And usually, you can just hover over or click the linked words to see what the person is referring to.
But if you want to continue to discuss this, my PM box is always open. No reason for us derail the thread.

That's their decision entirely. Now please drop the subject.
