I was wondering why we didn't have one of these, I always thought they were great fun.

Basically, a thread to suggest ideas for future members of Ash, Brock, Dawn, Jessie, James, Paul, Nozomi, and whoever else becomes reocurring.

So...I'd start off with one of the most talked about ones. Jessie. Which DP Pokemon will she get?

The most wanted choice seems to be Stunky at the moment, which would fit well with her team of primarily poison Pokemon.
 
Ooh, Jessie with Stunky. I like the sound of that.

It's wishful thinking, but I'd like it if Brock dug up a fossil, any fossil...
 
Stunky for Jessie I think is a good idea. Unfortunately, it would probably mean the departure of Dustox.

Does anyone see Nozomi's Glameow evolving? I can't picture her with Purugly (nor can I see Purugly in a Contest) but if it doesn't evolve it's the same as Johanna's, another coordinator....
 
So? We're barely going to see Johanna's Glameow in action.

I think Dawn is more or less done with captures for now, she may get something towards the end of Sinnoh but I have a feeling it'll be a 5th gen Pokemon ala May's Munchlax.

I think Brock is done too. He has three Pokemon now, the same amount he had at a time in AG. Croagunk may evolve at some point, I dunno. (How the hell will Brock survive a jab from its evolution?)

Jessie will probably swap Dustox for something.

The problem with Ash is that once the writers debut a Pokemon in a filler, its unlikely for Ash to capture it later on. I would have wanted Ash to get a Drifloon, but since that's already been in a filler I guess that's out.

I don't see why not. Not many Pokemon we've seen as main Contest Pokemon are...well, those ones you'd think of Contest types.

I'm beginning to suspect we can't use previous sagas to predict the captures of this generation.

I mean, it's been a single year, Ash has only got one badge, and we've already seen them capture about as much as they did in... what, two years of AG or more? DP is, based on pacing, going to be as long as Johto or AG. That's a lot of time with no new catches. And given how well they're doing now, I kind of doubt they're rushing captures by accident.

So it's kind of up in the air, I think, about what we will be seeing in the rest of the saga. Will Ash not be the only one who gets a full team this generation? Maybe there's going to be some team-member swapping? Maybe some heartfelt goodbyes, a la pink Butterfree?

It has been a little over seven months since the series' debut. Of course, proper comparison should be done in terms of episode count.

By DP034, there will have been nine captures (two for Ash, four for Dawn, two for Hikari and one for James). By AG034, there had been ten captures (three for Ash, two for May, two for Brock, two for Jessie and one for James).

As for evolutions, DP has had two at this stage, as had had AG. The only difference is that DP's evolutions occurred in half the episode amount. On the other hand, AG accomplished one more capture than DP in 9 episodes less the time.

Really? Geez.

How far was Ash in terms of badges?

Ash had his rematch with Brawly in AG031, giving him his second badge by AG034. It was in DP031 that he first met Gardenia.

For reference, his second Johto badge was obtained in episode 28 of that series.
 
Well then, it's just as I thought.... ^^o

The D/P series seems to be going by a little slower, when it comes to Ash getting more badges.


I wonder if the writers could be doing that purposely, because some cool/interesting/unexpected things might be coming up in the storyline.
I could see that as a possible reason for the writers delaying Ash's next badge.
 
Also remember May didn't start her Contest till 34 or so in AG, whereas Dawn has done two already.
 
There's been an 18 episode gap between the first and second Gym battle, so D/P is going at a roughly slower pace than AG. The difference is the Contest arc started much sooner, mostly because AG had to introduce Contests for the first time whereas we have already seen 16 Contests and two Grand Festivals by the time D/P started so the writers don't need to take it slow.

Coordinators don't need a full team and if the Grand Festival's are only three episodes long again, then Dawn may stick with her current team of four. They've given her all the available cute Pokemon and looking at the D/P roster there isn't much more I can picture her with.
 
Cherrim is the only other Pokemon I could see Dawn having.
