Ash and Alan will battle, and with greninja. Lucario's Aura Sphere is literally aimed at Leon in the opening, I have no idea how people spin this into thinking it's for Alan.
Bentley Ross
Can't believe Ash is about to fight multiple Champions, and the best I can muster up is 'huh...okay I guess'.
Brayden Cook
is that a boy or a girl?
Henry Cruz
No reserves, no problem. Ash is gonna solo the entire M8 with his newest team
Why do people think Greninja's scene being removed from the op means anything? You guys do realize we'll eventually see Bonnie/clemont, Lisia/Wallace, etc. all likely replaced eventually? Most likely after Paul's ep airs.
>50437089 Greninja's frames were literally replaced by Ash-Lucario sphere, I think the implication of that is super obvious.
People will have a hard time to accept but they literally just used Greninja to power up Lucario, they won't use it to overshadow it.
John Wilson
The frog removal is meaningful. They could have replaced Lisia who's basically a glorified COTD. But they chose the frog who they all know is popular. It's unironically over for frogfags.
Grayson James
> 'I-IT'S OKAY IF HE DOESN'T USE RESERVES, GUYS!' > he said as he posted an image of DP Ash, who used reserves throughout the Sinnoh League
This unironically makes sense. Like goku and chi chi relationship.
Christopher White
Because the training ep was done. The Aura Sphere is aimed at Leon of all things.
I don't know why they didn't get rid of the Bonnie/Clemont or Lisia scenes yet but I guess they're waiting till all the old character cameos air. There's still Paul and the Alola eps.
I would still mind 'no reserves', but it'd sting less. Hard to feel anything when Ash will beat his toughest challenge yet with his literal who battlebots though.

I don't care

You guys are jumping to conclusions. This is the same opening that didn't include Serena to keep her return a surprise. It'll be the same for Greninja.
Tyler Young
Realistically, why do you think they removed Ash-Greninja from the flashback?

Guess the ethnicity of each author of the above posts.

> you guys are trying to bait a reaction out of you, and you're falling for it.
Asher Wilson
Because they're saving it. I also think having Ash explain it to Go would have been too time consuming and take the focus away from Lucario.
Jordan Sullivan
retconned because it was a shit form
Liam Rogers
Even better
Joseph Gonzalez
his job is done basically, he doesn't need to appear anymore.
William Wright
Remember when people said Lillie's Mohn plot would never be resolved?
Remember when people said Iris wouldn't make it to the Masters 8 and she was one and done?
Remember when people said Dawn would only get one cameo and wouldn't come back despite all the Piplup merch at the time?
Remember when people said Alan would never return?
Remember when people said Serena wouldn't appear this series because the writers couldn't follow up the kiss?
etc.
Half the things I remember people saying when this saga first started were all proven wrong.
Nolan Rivera
i wont allow it
Carter Nelson
I remember a past thread where someone proposed a model where Ash has to fight through all M8 members starting from Iris upwards. Seven 6v6s would literally give room for Ash to use a team for each of the series, finishing with his PM team for Leon. What a waste of an opportunity.
>Kanto/Johto mixed team vs Lance >Kalos team vs Alain >Unova team vs Iris >Sinnoh team vs Cynthia >Hoenn team vs Steven
And Alola team vs Diantha, I guess.
But it will most likely be shitty 3v3 single-elims where there wouldn't even be room for proper reserve use.
David Ortiz
When will the season and anime end?
Alexander Moore
Face it, Greninja won't return. No wait, he'll return in a scene similar to 109 when he looks at the sky after Lucario had won the M8. That's all you'll get. Hope i see you happy
