Paul will probaly be gone next Generation, Conway was just added for Ash rival and is very popular among the fan base. Think hey'll return next Generation as Ash next main rival?
 
Nope, I doubt Conway is gonna return next time we travel a region.
 
As much as I love Conway and think he's a great character, I don't think so. And yes, I agree I want a female rival too.

Uh... what exactly do you mean by fanbase? The people here, or the kids in Japan watching the show?
 
Conway is likely going to be Sinnoh-exclusive. I can see Paul coming back, though, since he already traveled through the other three regions that Ash has.

But I'd want a female rival as a breath of fresh air.
 
Paul will likely be gone too. They pretty much confirmed with the foreshadowing that Ash will beat him in the league. After that Paul would get repetitive if they kept him.

Most likely none of the Sinnoh characters will be kept at all.
 
Only if Dawn stays as a main character. If she leaves, then I couldn't care less about Conway. He'd be boring without Dawn around for him to fanboy over, IMO.

This. Kohei's only reason to have a rivalry with Satoshi is Hikari. And without Hikari Kohei would be very dull.

I believe there is a low chance for Jun and/or Shinji staying, but I personally doubt that. Jun has a higher chance though, but their rivalry between Satoshi is not that interesting. Jun is awesome, yes, but his rivalry with Satoshi is a bit dull, just like in games.

I can see all of rivals getting dumped.
 
Conway's purpose is to provide comedy relief as being the sort-of creepy stalker/nerd that people seem to attach themselves to.

He probably wouldn't be treated as a serious rival in the same way that Paul is being treated.

Barry could be considered half-way since he's viewed as friendly and has a serious rivalry going with Ash.

Misty was Ash's rival?.

No, but this is a thread about Conway, so that automatically signals to this overzealous Misty fan that Misty should be discussed here as well... cause, you know, when I think about Conway, the first thing that comes to mind is Misty. Cause, you know, the whole franchise is about Misty.

I think Ash will have all new rivals next-gen entirely

Agreed, I think Ash will get all new rivals in the gen V series. Conway is an interesting rival because he's cerebral where Ash is more guts, speed, power and outside-of-the-box thinking, but he hasn't really been developped and there's not really anything more to developp with him after Ash beats him in the League. He's like a novelty trainer, interesting because of the style difference and the challenge that poses to Ash, but after Ash beats him once, the novelty wears off fast. It's not like Paul where the rivalry is actually rooted not only in their different battling and training styles, but also their philosophy regarding pokemon. But Conway is just a few notches over COTD level, so him being back next-gen... not likely.

I like Conway, but he would get boring fast...
 
I'd like to see Ritchie again (he did appear during the Lugia arc in Johto).

Then they can have a rematch and we can see Ash win this time.

Harrison too maybe.
 
Richie is an immensely unpopular character so I doubt we'll ever see him again. As for Harrisson, he like the other league rivals probably won't appear again either.
