Potential spoilers may follow. If you don't want them, don't read.
We don't yet know who Satoshi's new travelling companions will be for the next season, other than that Kasumi will be a part of the team for at least 3 episodes. Watching this weeks episode from Japan, I'd like to suggest this as potentially the new team.
Satoshi (Ash)
Haruka (May)
Masato (Max)
Kenji (Tracey)
Now, before I get rotten fruit thrown at me....
Takeshi - He's stated in the most recent episode that he was feeling newly motivated to battle again. This seems to suggest either of two things for me. Either that this new story arc might focus on him travelling around for badges (Does he even need them to enter the league, as a GL?), or that he's planning to resume his Gym Leader position. Satoshi will always be the main focus of the series, so that's one option eliminated....
Kasumi - I can't see a reason for her to not be there, but we only know of 3 episodes that have been recorded with her in them at this point in time. It's not necessarily an unreasonably assumption that those will be her only episodes for a while.
Kenji - It's a filler season, Takeshi's gone....he's the only person of the gang up to this point who can fill his shoes. Being a watcher studying under Ookido, I could see him being used to explain away why there are 2nd Gen Pokémon in Kanto now, going on about migration habits or something.
Haruka - If Kasumi's not there, we need another person to take the token female slot. I don't know how Haruka can fill it exactly, given the lack of contest houses in Kanto, but you never know.
Masato - He and Haruka are a package deal. Enough said.
Thoughts?
