Her first pokemon and the pokemon which keeps her from taking things too serious released? Never going to happen. Excadrill is hugely popular and Emolga has the cute factor. Every female trainer needs at least one pokemon with the cute factor.Quote:

Yeah but I'm been lead to believe the last year. I'm lead to believe gen 6 would be a few months earlier (around the time of the year BW2 started)Quote:

Posted a prediction a few weeks ago, so I'll post it again.
Pikachu-herpderp
Unfezant- Done
Krookodile- Done
Leavanny- Done
Boldore- Most likely isnt evolving. But hey, Trip's Gurdurr evolved, so who knows?
Samurott- Trip has Serperior and Bianca has Emboar as their signature starters for a reason...
Pignite- Either this or Emboar, I see it going either way.
Servine- Seeing Snivy fight Serperior would look stupid.
Scrafty- Will happen between August and the next region imo.
Palpitoad- Doubtful but very possible
It could still be debuted by Cabernet. I don't see Mijumaru evolving as long as she has Futachimaru and uses it somewhat regularly. Pokabu only evolved after Bel's Chaobu evolved into Enbuoh. I think after Jalorda has debuted, Tsutarja might evolve, but I rather see her stay as she is. I don't see Satoshi having the same fully evolved starter as a rival in BW because all of the rivals that have a starter are fairly identified to it unlike Shinji in DP who was more associated with other species than Dodaitose.Quote:

Your assumption of time is based on false logic... the time between games has increased over generationsQuote:

There were three years between one and two as well as between two and three...
Yet there were four years between three and four as well as between four and five...
Your assumption would presume that only three years would be between Five and Six when consecutive logic would state that either four or five years would be between five and six, meaning we have at least two years, possibly even three before Generation Six.

Burgundy is a joke character on top of that, she isn't Ash's rival.
She's still a recurring character that's very much identified with the line and will continue to feature it. It's her only Pokémon that's not fully evolved, I see no reason why it shouldn't evolve too and feature the species in the Animé rather than wait for Satoshi's Mijumaru to evolve twice.Quote:

In my opinions, it does. Whenever a recurring character, a rival, is heavily associated with one Pokémon, it's always prevented other characters from getting that Pokémon too. Kojiro's Sabonea didn't evolve because it wouldn't really make sense to have both Kojiro and Harley heavily showcasing Noctus. For the same reason, in DP, Shinji was much more associated with Elekid/Eleboo/Elekible than he was with Dodaitose, who for his starter Pokémon really didn't get a lot of screentime. That left Satoshi's to get the show. On the opposite, Kengo and Jun had their Pottaishi and Emperte heavily associated with them while Hikari's Pochama wasn't evolving.Quote:

Futachimaru is her signature Pokémon, the one she's most associated with, the one who was featured the most. I don't think they would have given it to her, nor would they have made it her signature Pokémon, if they planned to feature it and Daikenki heavily with Satoshi.
Right now, I'm kind of hoping Cilan gets a new Poke soon just so he and Iris can have an equal number of Pokemon in their party; I'd like to see him with something new to refresh his current team, anway. He'd probably get a previous generation Pokemon, which would be perfectly fine with me.
Since Krookodile and Dragonit were spoiled in the opening, and Dragonite in the promotional poster, I wonder if a possible capture for Cilan and/or other characters is hiding in there too. Assuming the opening takes us all the way through the League, it could be that Stephan, Bianca and Trip, or Cilan, are having some unrevealed Pokémon hinted in there.Quote:

That leaves us with 22 pokémon. Some look to just be background (Cottonee, Ducklett, Tympole), others could be evolutions for main characters (Swoobat, Fraxure, Scrafty Not saying that any of these is happening it the near future.) and others already belong to main/recurring characters (Zebstika, Minccino, Stoutland, Bisharp). Wailord, Jellicent, Mantine, Alomomola, all could appear in an upcoming Marlon episode since he's featured in the opening. Adler might use Bouffalant in a battle after the WTJC. We'll have to see if the CotD in the World Tournament Junior Cup change their Pokémon to some featured in there.
So this leaves us with... Yanmega, Altaria, Mandibuzz, Arcanine, Mienfoo, Braviary, Liepard, Mienshao, Eevee, Lapras and Dewgong. I could Bianca at the League with Mienfoo/Mienshao and/or Dewgong. I could see Stephan with a Braviary and/or Arcanine. I could see Cilan catching an Eevee hopefully to evolve it into a Vaporeon or the Riolu in the poster, maybe already evolved as a Lucario unless Shirona sticks around for the Rocket plot episodes and it's hers.
Unsurprisingly, the opening seems to feature lots of Water and Dragon pokémon... like... those two gyms we've yet to see. Just throwing this stuff out there. XD
