For older fans, some of our enjoyment from watching the Pokemon anime stems from seeing nods to the show's continuity. The return of Charizard in BW was a huge dollop of fanservice, and it was nice to see Ash recall his adventures with Charizard via a number of reanimated flashbacks, giving Iris and Cilan some insight into his experience as a trainer. Generally the writers have been good at honouring the show's history during its run, with early to mid BW being the only obvious case of attempting to keep the past under wraps for the sake of a fresh start. So, what do you guys think we can expect to see referenced during XY? It is early days at the moment, but do you think that any opportunities will arise for Ash to remember his old travel companions and journeys?
I think that the Kalos League could give Ash the chance to use a few of his Oaked reserves just like in Johto and Sinnoh, and hopefully one or two of those Pokemon can receive some development in this saga like Phanpy in the Battle Frontier arc and Cyndaquil in DP. In terms of episodes that we do know about, maybe the upcoming Golden Magikarp episode could feature Ash sporting the Misty Lure given that a scan shows the group fishing. It would be particularly interesting to see how Serena would react to the lure.
