So we know Go got a Scorbunny. I don't see any way Ash gets one himself, which is why it's not in the poll. Grookey and Sobble have yet to appear after 19 episodes (and it looks like it'll be a few more given the titles and summaries for episodes 20-23). We've seen these two starters appear on some merch, but it's unknown if they'll go to Ash or not, which is why I'd like to know if you guys think Ash will get Grookey or Sobble or both or none.
Personally, I think he'll get both. While it's true Ash is getting all the powerhouses this time around, I still think he's got a realistic shot at getting both Grookey and Sobble. If he does, I can easily see him turning those two into powerhouses themselves with them evolving into their final forms and potentially making use of their Gigantamax forms. Plus, it would feel weird for Ash to not get a starter for the newest games. I know this anime has been breaking some trends, but in my opinion, I don't think it would break this trend. I definitely see him getting at least one. If he only gets one, my guess would be Ash gets Sobble, but it's just a guess and I'm basing it off the latest merch we got, which could mean nothing really. We'll see.
What do you guys think? We'll be going 20+ episodes without seeing Grookey or Sobble and it's still a mystery as to which of these two Ash will get, if any. He could get both, he could get none, he could get one or the other. They could both go to Gou, maybe Koharu will get one, or maybe a new character like Hop or someone else comes along and showcases one of these starters. It's hard to say. Please post your thoughts below.
