Don't forget the frozen Unova scenario being used in Operation Tempest and the recent episode with Team Eevee.

Well in the games, Looker helps find the six sages, so maybe they'll somehow shoehorn the sages in without referring to Team Plasma in anyway (which I guess they could do with a bit of work). Now there's a possible plot for the rest of BW!
Personally I think that the whole six sages plot that Handsome helps with in the games is too complicated for the anime, but I am still hoping it's some kind of deal with Plasma. His appearance might be to just make everyone aware of Plasma kind of, and he won't do any actual arresting or interacting with them. Like, he might come in and hang out Satoshi & co for an episode for some random adventure (maybe he's looking for something that has to do with Plasma) and be like "whoaa watch out for these Plasma guys okay" as kind of a lead in to them?
Handsome was pretty shady character in the games though he dressed up like your mom then gave you a fishing rod??????
I like to remind the people of Bulbagarden that Ash might leave Unova after the league, and therefore confirms that Team Plasma was killed by the Tsunami/Earthquake of last year. He might be there to prop Ash to go to a Orange Isle like region to kill some time for the release of Pokémon *****/***** Version for the 3DS.
As for Genosect, it was never confirmed to be in the upcoming movie; And if it doe have a role in it, they best keep it origins a mystery since Plasma's the new Porygon in ShoPro list of banned Pokémon Content.
There's a difference between being banned and not wanting to use it. If Plasma was banned we wouldn't see it anywhere.
There's a reason why I say they're the new Porygon. Plus the two parter of TRvsTP is pretty much canned anyways (as it's way too late to air it).
I do hope TP appears here - after 1 year and 8 months of their planned appearence.
And since BW's start...2 years and 2 months.
Wow. If it's not for Team Plasma, then who knows what it's for.
I see, since Porygon does make waldo appearance in WoP segments of the movies. Plasma, even though did not cause the tragedy, pretty much cause shopro to drop the use of them altogether since it was supposed to air in the same week of said tragedy.
Drop use of them all together? They were only going to be in two episodes. It's not like a Pokemon where you can easily fit them in. With BW2 on the way there was no chance of using what they were originally going to since Plasma was changing.
So the writers should write a whole new plot for them... for what? Another two part episodes where they barely resemble their game counterparts? Yes, what a loss.
It's obvious they were never going to do anything with Plasma in the first place. If they were really banned, the Arti gym episode wouldn't still say the episodes will air someday.
Musashi, I agree with you. Heck I would not be surprised if Team Plasma would'nt had even made that frequent appearances if that 2 parter did air. For all we know they could have just been 1 time villians.

Anyway, I think that Looker would probably be in different episodes since, it looks like they may be recording lines instead.
God I hope this means the two parter is finally airing -_-.
