No gyms or league next season

[PrettyVenomoth]

Has it increased or decreased Ash's chances to win the league? You can also look at it differently, it's set up for him to win then take a nice break on some vacation region doing light hearted challenges, or you see it as perfect set up him to lose the league then win this side tournament just like the orange islands or battle frontier.
I really hope this isn't the case. I think the fact it's been done that way twice already makes it more likely they will let him win the league, and possibly win the Alola tournament thing as well (but who cares about that anyway)

To me, Ash's chance of winning as already been assured long before they officially revealed the No Gyms aspect. He is destined to win this time, with Alain as his final opponent. The Sun and Moon's revelation only made double assurance that the status quo of the Leagues is broken.

Assuming that Sun and Moon has no gyms then I think Ash would compete in the Alola version of a league.

I'm going to have to close this thread since there already is a thread that discusses how Sun and Moon will effect the anime. You can continue the discussion here: NEWS: - How will Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon effect the anime?
