Let's see who can get the most predictions right.

The categories are:

OP genre
OP artist (male character seiyū / female character seiyū / male vocalist / female vocalist / duet / etc.)
ED genre
ED artist

Pilot episode length (single episode / two-part / etc.)
Pilot plot elements (Hikari's bike being destroyed / Pikachu being sick / etc.)
Pilot guest characters (Nanamakado is a given)
Team Galaxy presence
Team Rocket presence (also specify scheme and mecha)

Hikari's starter Pokémon (Naetle, Hikozaru, Pochama, other, or not received in pilot)
Any other debut Pokémon

Hikari's voice (specify age range of the seiyū and the type of voice being played)
 
OP genre/OP artist: Guitar Driven with female soloist. Last few OP/EN have been heavy on the guitar so that is likely to continue. I hope Garden returns!
ED genre/ED artist: Going out on a limb here... Hikari's seiyū. Probably something to do with starting a pokemon journey in a new land with strange and new pokemon.

Pilot episode length: One episode DP001
Pilot plot elements: Satoshi arriving in Shinou with Pikachu and Aipom. Hikari decides to get a Pochama from Dr. Nanamakado. Hikari joins Satoshi's journey as she wants to travel with a *famous* Pokemon trainer. (Famous considering he wins the Battle Frontier *hopefully*) Team Galaxy presence probably won't be shown until the second episode where they will have a conflict with Team Rocket about territory. Manene Mecha will get owned by Team Galaxy.
 
LOL It would be funny if Team Galxy had a conflict with Team Rocket. Any who I think Ash will come into town with Pikachu and Aipom meet Hikari and possibly battle Team Galxy. Than Team Rocket could come back in the second episode and battle Team Galxy over Ash/Hikari's Pokemon. I also think there could be shippyness between Hikari/Ash but that's me ^_^
 
OP genre: Something upbeat, with generalized lyrics about "new land, new adventures" similar to "Advance Adventure."
OP artist: Hikari's seiyuu.
ED genre: Something cutesy featuring only Pokémon, like "Pokémon Kazoe Uta."
ED artist: Someone who hasn't done a Pocket Monsters song yet, most likely female.

Pilot episode length: Regular, about 24 minutes.
Pilot plot elements: Probably nothing extraordinary besides the obvious starter Pokémon and Satoshi/Hikari meeting.
Pilot guest characters: Probably new people...
Team Galaxy presence: TR wasn't in the first Kanto episode, and TA/TM weren't in the first Houen episode, so no.
Team Rocket presence: They try to steal the starter Pokémon at Nanamakado's lab.

Hikari's starter Pokémon: Pochama
Any other debut Pokémon: Dialga and Palkia, but probably only while being described, and maybe they will only show up as shadows. At the very least, it will be brief. Maybe Mukkuru and the other weak Pokémon that show up at the beginning.

Hikari's voice: [wp]Akiko Hiramatsu[/wp] wouldn't surprise me.
 
Here are my guesses.

OP genre: upbeat J-Rockish theme.
OP artist: probably Rica Matsumoto or Hikari's VA.
ED genre: J-pop. My guess is that it should be along the lines of Pocketarii Monsutarii or however its spelled. ^^;
ED artist: Kana again? ^^;

Pilot episode length: 25 minutes, one parter.
Pilot plot elements: Hikari getting her first pokemon from Nanakamado, Satoshi meeting with Hikari, the mention of Diaruga and Parukia and Team Galaxy being after them...
Pilot guest characters: DP's blonde rival guy, Nanakamado's assistant.
Team Galaxy presence: possibly as a mention.
Team Rocket presence: their usual act: they try to steal the starters and get blasted off as always. (That is, if they're still around in DP...)

Hikari's starter Pokémon: Naetle.

Any other debut Pokémon: Hikozaru, Pocchama, Pachirisu and Mukkuru.

Hikari's voice: probably a girl in her early 20's. I don't know much about seiyuus so I can give any names.
 
OP genre: J-Rock
OP artist: I would like to see a popular J-Band like Asian Kung-Fu Generation, L'arc~en~Ciel, FLOW, Ellegarden blah blah blah blah :P
ED genre: Something more calm
ED artist: Dunno :P A singer liek Utada Hikaru probably... :P

Pilot episode length: 23'-25' Minutes
Pilot plot elements: Hikari probably steals a Pokemon in order to start the investigation about the "God Pokemon" Diaruga kai Pearukia. Satoshi trying to stop her in the beginning , after listening to her goals, teaming up with her. Shigeru challenging the Shinou Gym Leaders to take part on the Pokemon League, Satoshi being even more heat up.
Pilot guest characters: Probably, not having Diamond (the DP boy) on the Anime, Hikari in her search for the "God Pokemon" has a rival, the rival in Diamond/Pearl who also searched for the God Pokemon".
Team Galaxy presence: They could be in search of the God Pokemon as well, but want them for evil reasons.
Team Rocket presence: Hopefully not, but too good to be true. Musashi, Kojiro and Nyath will head to Shinou this time...

Hikari's starter Pokémon: Taking into account that Satoshi has already a monkey, and that Diamond (the DP Boy) (on the Manga at least...) chooses Pocchama, I would suggest Hikari taking Hikozaru. Alternatively, she could also have Pocchama, as Satoshi may have the grass as it seems it's the type of starters he mostly use. (Skeptile, Bayleed)
Any other debut Pokémon: Satoshi catching Mukkuru probably, just like Tailow and Pidgeotto.

Hikari's voice: I would like to see Aya Hirano but that probably not possible... Hikari seems more serius in some way than Haruka or Kasumi and I think the voice might need to be a little more deep. I wouldn't be surpised to see Kairu Nazuka or a senryuu with a similar voice.
 
So is it confirmed that Hikari is a new trainer or is that just what everyone's assuming? (If she is a new training, that's annoying)
 
OP genre: I'm thinking about time for "Mezaze Pokemon Master 2006"
OP artist: Rica, naturally. Maybe Hikari's VA could sing as well.
ED genre: I hope something slow and harmonious.
ED artist: Perhaps Hikari's VA?

Pilot episode length: Regular, about 24 minutes.
Pilot plot elements: Ash and Hikari will meet, and Hikari will get some starter.
Pilot guest characters: Possibly Blonde Rival (i'm calling Hikaru for the moment) and Nanakamodo.
Team Galaxy presence: None.
Team Rocket presence: General Mecha, steal the Starters.

Hikari's starter Pokémon: Hikozaru
Any other debut Pokémon: General low level Pokemon appearing in the backgrounds, the ledgendary two may be mentioned.

Hikari's voice: Chiwa Saitō? I dunno...
 
OP genre: Pop (Like Advanced Adventure).
OP artist: A guy.
ED genre: don't care.
ED artist: don't care.

Pilot episode length: 25 minutes, one parter.
Pilot plot elements: Satoshi meets Hikari. Hikari choose Pokemon. New Legendary Pokemon are introduce. Some problem with Hikari and her new first pokemon. Ash meets with Shigeru and both decide to the Gyms.
Pilot guest characters: Shigeru.
Team Galaxy presence: Yes, little introduction.
Team Rocket presence: None.

Hikari's starter Pokémon: Naetle.

Any other debut Pokémon: Dunno.

Hikari's voice: Dunno.
 
OP genre: Something J-Rockish
OP artist: Garden, or some similar band.
ED genre: Something more like a ballad.
ED artist: Toshiko Ezaki

Pilot episode length: two parter.
Pilot plot elements: Hikari has no bike(OMG) no illness for Pikachu, it might get lost and stumble upon... something...
Pilot guest characters: Nanamakado, Team Galaxy grunts, maybe an Admin, Gary (I have a feeling that he may be Nanamakado's assistant) and/or the D/P rival
Team Galaxy presence: Yes, they will be planning to kidnapping Nanamakado or force him to work on some project/machine

Team Rocket presence: Watching from the backround, thinking "Not Again" when they see Team Galaxy owns Shnio. Stealing the starters/Pikachu, I don't see a mecha in this episode.

Hikari's starter Pokémon: Pocchama

Any other debut Pokémon: Naetle, Hikozaru, Mukkuru

Hikari's voice: around 20 to 25-ish, I see a bolder, adventure girl type of voice...
 
It would be great if Satoshi used some of his older PoKéMoN more often, for example Kinglaa (spelling?), which has only been used a few times. I'd also recommend him to bring Bayleef, since it is the PoKéMoN that shows its love to him most.
 
It's "Kingler." :)

So, Zhen, what are your predictions?
 
Me? I would like certain things, but random predictions is something I don't do much.
 
Pilot episode length: two parter.
Pilot plot elements: Mostly intro to Hikari, Ash enters towards the end.
Pilot guest characters: Nanamakado & Gary
Team Galaxy presence: Not Yet

Team Rocket presence: Of Course, Try to steal the starters

Hikari's starter Pokémon: I really want her to have all of them, kinda like Ash did back in the day. I would rather see Ash showcase some new ones, or bring some goodies with him (Bayleef, Totodile, Cyndaquil)

Any other debut Pokémon: The Ratata and Pidgey counterparts.

Hikari's voice: Fun, Bold, Adventurous, and confident.

OP genre: Up-beat pop/orchestra
OP artist: Hikari
ED genre: Slow
ED artist: Some woman

Pilot episode length: Single episode
Pilot plot elements: Satoshi has been told to visit Nanamakado for some information about Shinou. Meanwhile, Hikari has also been summoned there for some information relating to her plot, and it turns out the first gym and the area Hikari was told to go to is in the same direction. After stopping the inevitable Rocket attack, they decide to travel together.
Pilot guest characters: Nanamakado and his assistant
Team Galaxy presence: No.
Team Rocket presence: "Let's steal the starters". No mecha.

Hikari's starter Pokémon: Pachiris, which she already has by the time she is introduced.
Any other debut Pokémon: Naetle, Hikozaru and Pochama

Hikari's voice: 12-13-ish, fun-loving and enthusiastic but still serious and determined.
 
OP genre: Guitar/drum opening with eaither a band like Asian Kung-Fu Generation or a female artist.
ED genre: A soft ending like the first one for Advance Generation

Pilot episode length: Single Episode
Hikari is possibly a tom-boy (just that she isn't so girly like Haruka) and when Satoshi arrives in Shinou (credit to whoever said this, forgot who), he will discover it is a two-on-two trainer gym battles, sulk around for a while and encounter Hikari. She will go to Nanamakado and get her Pokemon for the episode. Team Rock somehow make a plot, they blast off etc. etc.

Team Galaxy will not appear until a few episodes in, where they will make a thunderous entrance.

Hikari's starter Pokémon:
Pocchama (just a gut feeling)
 
OP genre/OP artist - J-Pop....with a female artist, to emphasize the fact that it's Hikari
ED genre/ED artist - I dunno....j-hip hop by the Teriyaki Boyz (I have no idea)

Pilot episode length - Single ep.
Pilot plot elements - either:
1) Ginga-dan does something that makes Hikari angry at them, and she learns about their plans for Parukia and Diaruga, and tries to foil them out of spite, or,
2) She meets Parukia/Diaruga or both (maybe during a fight for dominance?), and she decides to prevent their evil plans.
Pilot guest characters - Nanakamado-hakase of course, some older family member (most likely mother or guardian who took care of her in abscence of her parents), and a childhood friend (sex doesn't really mattter, though I would guess a male, just to balance out the inequality of numbers).
Team Galaxy presence - Tries to capture/contol Diaruga and/or Parukia
Team Rocket presence - not in Shin'ou, Ginga-dan has far too strong a prescence to allow and Roketto-dan members in, Aqua-dan and Magma-dan were too busy dealing with each other to care about Roketto-dan coming into their territory.

Hikari's starter Pokémon - Something gained pre-pilot or Pochama (cause it's my favorite)
Any other debut Pokémon - All three of the starters will make an appearance, if only like they did in the TV program Satoshi was watching the very first episode. Parukia and Diaruga, at least one of them in "person," if one doesn't appear physically, then it will appear in some sort of flashback or on carvings in ruins or something. Likely various pokemon that we don't know the names of as they haven't been publicized yet.

Hikari's voice - Age range of the seiyuu is kind of hard, seeing as Satoshi is played by a female, and so a good seiyuu could easily modulate their voice to sound at the proper age range. The type of the voice being played will most likely be that of an 11-15 year old girl, however very unlikely to be extremely tough-girl type, or an extremely girly girl (no more !@#!@%ing "kamo"....YESSSSSS!!!!!!!).

And let me add in (just to make it completely obvious) SATOSHI WILL NOT APPEAR!!!!!!! Or at least that's how my prediction is going. I will not change my opinion of his not appearing until I see something that is extremely official that shows that he is going to be in the series. Then I will throw a hissy fit.
 
My speculations....

OP genre: j-pop
OP artist- Rica, Garden or Hikari seiyū

ED artist- Garden/Toshiko Ezaki
