With Chimchar being released and going to Ash, Paul will be down to five Pokemon on his team. What Pokemon do you think will fill his final slot?
 
Paul doesn't seem like the type of guy whose team will be standarized throughout the region. He'll probably rotate them regularly, probably only keeping Elekid if anyone.

Not necessarly, given how the opening now shows his other guys(and the fact they are being used now) i think his last slot will be used like Ash's was in the BF before he caught Aipom and used for the various pokemon he catches along his journey.
 
I'd like to see him with a new evolution of an older Pokemon, like Dusclop's evo whose name I'm forgetting at the moment.
 
The fact his current Pokémon are in the opening doesn't mean much... I think they intended to uptade this at DP41 but forgot or something as 2 more episodes and they'll have to edit it again and move Chimchar from Paul's side to Ash's and also include Chimchar attacking at the beginning of Paul's scene with the rest of Ash's Pokémon... seems too much editing and Cacnea will leave soon so i'm sure they'll remove the scenes of Paul and TR and replace them with totally new ones
 
^It was established in the Cynthia episode Torterra, Weavile and Murkrow are important to Paul, and Elekid has proven it's worth as well, the only expendable pokemon on the team other than Chimchar is ursuring, and it may stay to make Paul the silver we never had.
 

Obviously he won't release his first Pokémon... though I can see Torterra being sent to Paul's home or wherever he keeps his other Pokémon and Paul might take it only for important battles

Weavile and Murkrow are important to Paul

Paul didn't say such thing
All he did is to let them battle Cynthia's Garchomp with the intention to have them lose from Giga Impact and than use Torterra to take advantage of that Garchomp will must rest a little before it'll be able to attack again
I can't see how that can mean they're important for him
But Murkrow obviously will stay because Paul got it probably only for it to evolve into a new Pokémon like Zoey's Misdreavus

and Elekid has proven it's worth as well

Elekid seems like Paul's main Pokémon and the most close to Paul's personality and it's also like a rival for Pikachu so it'll stay too

the only expendable pokemon on the team other than Chimchar is ursuring, and it may stay to make Paul the silver we never had.

People are exaggerating with that... Paul isn't THAT similar to the GSC rival in their appearance
And no matter how not important he was we did get to see the real anime version of the rival in the opening for Raikou so this is the character based on him

It's simply that after Ash was without a rival in all of AG they realized they should give him a one now... and what is the opposite of Ash that likes Pokémon and treat them as friends that will get stronger together with him? a trainer that doesn't like Pokémon and treat tham as battle tools that should get stronger to win battles for him... seems much better reason for the writers to make Paul what he is than randomly basing it on GSC character that already have a character based on it and doesn't have any connection to Ash

Why it happened Paul have some Pokémon Silver has in adventures? because those are the Pokémon that usually get represented as "evil" and powerful... what did most of the Murkrow and Ursaring we see did? attack for no reason at all... and that Sneasel before Harrison catch it?
 
A pokemon that evolves by happiness, because we all know how he's going to change in the end and needs an indicator of that *rolls eyes*
 
I think Paul's final pokemon spot will be filled with Magmortar and Ursaring will be replaced with Rhyperior in my opinion for his Final Team.
 
I think that after Paul released Chimchar he said that he'll get other fire type
And when Zoey said she'll catch a water type the next time we saw her she did have her new Shellos so it's likely the next time we'll see Paul he'll have his new fire type
 
though I wonder why he even needs a Fire-type. I mean, I think all their advantages are already covered by the rest of his team.... Grass-types covered by Yamikarasu (Flying) and Manyula (Ice), Bug-types covered by Yamikarasu again, Ice-types covered by Elekid (knows Brick Break) and Ringuma (with the new episode, we see it knows Arm Hammer and Focus Blast), and Steel-types covered again by Elekid and Ringuma (and probably Dodaitose, assuming it knows Earthquake).
 
I still think he's going to get a Tyranitar at some point.
