Anyone notice there are no cameos of Ash's friends watching the league this time?

We're now 4 episodes into the league, and we haven't seen any cameos of Ash's older friends or family watching his league matches.

We've only seen Ash talk to Oak about what Pokemon to use, but that's it. They didn't even show a single shot of Delia, which I find really strange.

Anyone find this really strange? Its like the writers are purposely avoiding showing cameos of older characters watching Ash's league.
 
I think cameos might occur during the Shinji eps. They are the most important in terms of story after all for the league.
 
Maybe they kind of want to start fresh next region.
Showing cameo's of Misty or other older characters would want kiddies to rewatch older episodes to figure out who they were. This way, kiddies just pay attention to the league and have fun with what's heading there way next region. Maybe even Tracey won't get a cameo this time???
 
What a stupid question.

They are not going to show cameos of them in the middle of the tournament,they only show them in the very end,in the climax.

When did we see cameos in the GF?in the appeals?no.We saw them in the climax,during the finals.

The Hoenn league showed cameos right at the beginning, in the first or second episode.
 
It's because Ash has loads of friends that are competing in the league, so there's no need to show his other friends: Paul, Barry, Nando, Conway.

Thank you.That makes it an even stupider :)

I think your climax point was pretty stupid as well actually. The battle with Shinji is more important to the DP story then the LT, so I don't see why the cameos would happen for the latter then the former (assuming that the LT is the climax of the league for Satoshi).

And where did I say the LT battle was the climax?
The climax is the last part of Ash vs Paul.But is the last part.Not the begging.

You said the very end. That could include a battle with someone we don't know or the LT.
Unless you are saying that Shinji will win?

Edit: You need to specify rivalries. The climax isn't Shinji, it is the last battle of the league for Satoshi.

And in DP182 Ash got flowers and a letter from Oak... while Delia wasn't even mentioned at all...
I'm seriously annoyed at how they make Oak more tied to Ash's character than Delia... and it's extremely ridiculous the flowers and letter were from him, they should've made them from Delia... =\

Anyway, as said, the GF showed cameos only during Dawn's final battle - so I expect the same to go for Ash's battle
Either VS Paul or VS LT will be where we might get cameos
There's a chance they won't show anyone at all, but I believe at least Oak/Delia/Tracey will be shown... hopefully Misty, May and Max too (possibly both at home with their parents and the Ribbon Cup near them hinting that May won the Johto GF)
If they decide to be REALLY nice and throw 325235 cameos (they did in in the movie's ending, so who knows?) then others I'd like to see (yet realize are much less likely than the others I listed) are: Sinnoh Gym Leaders, Sinnoh Elite Four, Gary and possibly Johanna and Professor Rowan
EDIT: also, Reggie obviously should watch Ash VS Paul or even come to the League... but they disappointed with Barry VS Paul when they didn't show Palmer... so we better not expect too much

Ah,Sorry.I think I see why it was confusing.I meant the very end of the story(the climax)not the tournament.
 
Anyone notice we aren't even up to the full battles yet?

Crazy idea, why not both? Not that I think that the older frineds will get cameos in both, but I think we might see cameos from people that felt relevant to the DP storyline during Ash v Shinji (E4, Reggie, Brandon, the rivals, maybe gym leaders or something watching the match on the telly) and people from before in the match against LT (again on the TV). I don't know, seeing Misty/May/Max during the Paul match would just be weird.

But if there's only one place where we see cameo, I think it'll be in the Paul match.

Not really, the climax of DP will be the Paul match, more specifically Infernape pounding the crap out of Electivire and getting a hero shot where Paul recognizes its strenght. LT is part of the conclusion.

Lol don't worry, I jumped the gun a bit.

Piplup: They are clearly hinting that it is his daddy *shot*
 
They didn't even show Palmer during the Barry match....so.
 
Maybe Delia is coming to sinnoh league to see ash's match in person like johanna.

Satoshi is in this to win the Sinnoh league as well. He didn't enter just because of Shinji. The conclusion of DP is after the league when people leave and Satoshi decides what to do next.
Edit: All my opinion btw.

The emotionnal buildup is for the Paul match, the tension will be in the Paul match. So the climax, if we go by the litterary definition of it, would be more the Paul match.

Though, as I said before, it would be really weird to see cameos from Ash's older friends during the Paul match as they aren't implicated in the least in DP's storyline or the Paul rivalry.
