Recently I've seen these rumors flying around that at the end of Diamond and Pearl Series, that the series to follow will have a completely new cast. I hope its all just that, rumors, but does anyone know?

Has there been any official news other than that D&P is coming to an end?

No. It's all lies...
 
These rumors have no basis at all... the only 100% confirmed stuff from the climax preview, known episode titles and summaries and official articles is the following:

- In the Grand Festival, Dawn will do a performance with Buneary/Cyndaquil, battle Ursula with Pachirisu/Mamoswine VS Gabite/Flareon, battle Zoey in the final battle (and most of us assume she'll beat Zoey, which means she'll win the GF - and then leave at the end of DP)
- Ash will use Infernape in his Gym Battle against Volkner and it seems like it activates Blaze again (most of us assume Infernape will learn how to control itself during Blaze)
- In the Sinnoh League we'll see Paul, Nando, Conway and Barry
- Ash will battle Paul in the Sinnoh League and there will be a trainer (either new character or someone we already know) who has legendary Poké (most of us assume he'll beat Ash in the finals after Ash beat Paul in the semi finals)
- Brock will find a new goal (most of us assume that means he'll probably live)
- The articles said something like "will this be the end of Ash, Dawn and Brock travelling together"?

So most likely - BW anime cast will be:
Ash (Gyms), BW girl (Contests), BW boy (breeder? Pokéathlon? who knows)
But this cast isn't 100% confirmed, just a logical speculation based on the facts we know
 
Well afterall the anime is about ASH's adventures to become a pokemon master, not someone else, so I can say he will mosy likley be there until the end of the show.

So most likely - BW anime cast will be:
Ash (Gyms), BW girl (Contests), BW boy (breeder? Pokéathlon? who knows)

The way I see it, Brock will return, he is always there as the father figure to keep control in the group to stop things like Ash getting too worked up or helping with the girl of the group. (I am not sure contests will return or not if they are not in Gen V games, why have them in anime still?)

I can guess Brock won't return at the very start of the anime, but will return a short while after the start, I rally can't see brock doing something different and not returning. I suppose Dawn will get like May and make a few guest appearances, but mosly be doing other things?

The boy will most likely be the rival (maybe a girl, that would be good) but based on past experieces, its more than likley to be a boy.

So why would the official DP end articles mention that "Brock finds a new goal" and "this might be the end of Ash, Dawn and Brock travelling together"?
Also, after the recent episode they showed a quick scene (collection of scenes from DP eps) with emotional music saying this is the end of DP...
They really make it seems like this is the end of this group
I really think they'll start it fresh in next gen with Ash being the only old character in the main cast

he is always there

Orange Islands

as the father figure to keep control in the group

It's time for Ash to further mature and take Brock's role like he should've done in AG

to stop things like Ash getting too worked up

It barely happens anymore and if Ash takes another step ahead in his maturing, I doubt it'll ever happen again... he'll get excited and confident - but never OVER confident

or helping with the girl of the group.

Again, Ash can do it (and already did it with May and Dawn despite Brock being there too)

(I am not sure contests will return or not if they are not in Gen V games, why have them in anime still?)

There's no reason to think the BW games won't have Contests
Also, Contests in the anime aren't exactly the same as Contests in the games... they turned as equal second plot to Gyms in the anime and the writers' tool to appeal more to girls
I really can't see any reason the writers would remove them

The boy will most likely be the rival (maybe a girl, that would be good) but based on past experieces, its more than likley to be a boy.

The boy will probably join if Brock does leave... they can simply use the rival as a rival - just like they did with Barry
 
Its been confirmed to be untrue.
Right now we don't know the future of our characters.
I'm pretty sure Ash and Pikachu are staying.
While I'd like Brock to go, he's probaly going to stay along with Team Rocket. I'll be shocked as heck if it turns out Dawn stays instead of Brock, boy would I.
 
I really think it's obvious both Brock and Dawn leave...
From now on, the cast of the anime will probably always be:
Ash + Gen X Girl (Coordinator) + Gen X Boy
 
i made a thread on this....it got closed so its not true. But my ideal cast for gen 5 would be Ash Dawn and Gen 5 boy

So we could all see gyms contest and poketholons

Who'll the one in charge of cooking, the girl? for me the gen x boy is a Pokeathlete?

Yes, who the heck would do that?
They could just let the characters grow and have Ash/New Gril/New Boy cook for themselves. The horror!
 
There was a similar thread to this. I'll say my point again.

In the last thread, there was a link to the article about the rumor. I read it, but I didn't see Ash and Pikachu leaving anywhere in it. It's possible that they'll leave, but that's just a rumor.
 
Who will cook? either new boy/girl do it (and no, that won't make them Brock clones - especially if their food is simple and not anything special like Brock's) or Ash finally realize he shouldn't be so lazy and learn how to make a simple sandwich

Consdering the Orange Islands didn't end with them all starved, I imagine it's less lazyness and more letting the best chef do the cooking.

So, I remember rumors about them leaving when AG was ending, but did it also occur right BEFORE AG? I recall rumors the series was going to "reboot" and start with Ash as a new trainer again...

Ash and May are my favorite characters of all time. I couldn't handle May leaving, if Ash leaves, it will suck so much.

Pikachu is adorable as well. If it left, I will be crushed. :(
 
Ash needs an ending eventually. We'll be in 2014 at the end of Gen V.

I had no idea there was any question on whether or not Brock will live D: lol

Thanks for the Info. I don't really mind seeing dawn leave but if Brock leaves I'd be sad. Knowing that Ash will stay the star of the show is good to know though.

thanks for the info.
