Personally I believe that he will, you seeeeeeeeeee. I base this on my ego. My ego tells me that since there aren't that many new pokemon in this region we're going to be seeing a lot of the old ones and since this is the case then the writers will be forced to include the ones that Ash already has caught. You seeeeeeeeeeee, if you noticed carefully you'll notice that there is also a recurring pattern throughout the franchise;
In Kanto, Ash only used the Pokemon that he had caught in Kanto since he hadn't been to any other region before that.
(I'm not taking the Orange Islands/Battle Frontier into account btw, why? You seeeeeee I am what people might call kind of a d*ck.)
In Johto, Ash used both the ones he caught in Kanto and Johto.
In Hoenn, he only used the ones he caught there.
In Sinnoh, he used various Pokemon he had caught in previous regions.
In Unova, he used only the ones he caught there. (Take into account that Unova introduced a sh!t ton of new pokemon)
And now we are in Kalos, and the time has come for him to recall his old Pokemon into action, what's more interesting is that since he called Charizard to Oak's lab then it's likely that he'll get to use him again and perhaps he'll even mega evolve.
Now that alone can't prove jack sh*t but it does imply the fact that it is more likely. Patterns can change however.
Another fact is that Ash is a lot more mature and shown to have had experience in the Pokemon world from previous regions unlike the start of Best Wishes where he forgot how to catch Pokemon. Maybe bringing back his old Pokemon will depict the fact that he is an experienced and talented Pokemon trainer.
If I had to use my power of thinking and give it a number depicting the possibility that Ash will in fact reuse his previously caught Pokemon it would be at around 85%. What I still do not understand however is how Pikachu managed to take out a Latios yet had trouble against a Bunnelby in XY. Maybe he was holding back or something? Idk but i'm hoping that's the case.
Anyway it is now up to you to decide, whether to ignore this thread or write an opinion based on the facts that I have given you. Good luck, friend.
