Will Sinnoh possibly consist of 4 "seasons" ?

With the titles for the 140th and the 141st Sinnoh episode having been revealed, I'm starting to wonder whether the Sinnoh adventure (not the Sinnoh/Johto Battle Frontier; I mean the Sinnoh league itself) will perhaps last four "seasons" (and by seasons I'm referring to the standard practice of dividing the Pokemon Anime into seasons in the United States)

Actually, I should say I'm convinced and there's no doubt that Ash's current journey will require more than only about 155 episodes or three seasons.
Look, Japan will have reached ep. 141 by September, but there are still no indications of the Galactic final, which will at least consist of 2 episodes, the Grand Festival, which jugding from the length of the Wallace Cup will at least have 4 or 5 episodes, the last Gym Batlle in Sunnyshore against Volkner, which ,because it's the showdown, will last 2 episodes and finally the Sinnoh League, which will by no means be shorter than the Grand Festival, if not even longer.

With 14 episodes to go until we've reached the 155th one, it's absolutely impossible that the writers can squeeze in all these events mentioned above, particularly in light of the fact that the Grand festival and the Sinnoh League battles will already make up 10 episodes, let alone all the upcoming fillers.

To cut a long story short, we need a forth season!
Now, let's speculate about how this season will look like.

Personally I think that the first third or the first half of that hypothetical season will feature the rest of our heroes' Sinnoh adventure and that the other two thirds or rather the other half will either feature Ash's challenge of the Elite Four, which is more likely in my opinion, as there won't be so many episodes left(just as many as you need to battle five elite trainers) or the beginning of the Sinnoh /Johto Battle Frontier.


I'm totally psyched about how it will all turn out in the end.

What do you think?
 
Sinnoh will probably end either at the middle or end of season 13
Not like the Japanese care, since they don't have seasons
 
I know this is lame speculation and it will probabely not happen, but what if DP Galactic Battles season will end with DP119 and the next season will start with DP121? It's logical since DP119 is last episode in 4:3 aspect ratio and SD format (well, technically, DP120 is, but we all know TPCI will skip it) and DP121 is first episode in 16:9 aspect ratio and HD format. If TPCI will not want to crop opening from 4:3 into 16:9, keep it in pillarbox (16:9 version of letterbox), or crop the whole anime into 4:3 (and I really hope this will never happen, it was enough our Jetix aired Movie 11 cropped :thumbd:), they will need new opening. So, why not made new season starting DP121 who will cover the rest of Sinnoh? Yes, possiblity for this is small, but PUSA previously show us they don't care for 4Kids 52 eps rule if it's logical to split somewhere else.

But what I see more realistic is TPCI will keep DP Galactic Battles season for more then 52 episodes untill the end of Sinnoh and will start season 13 once next filler saga will start.
 
The end of Sinnoh will spill over into Season 13, maybe by about 10 episodes. It's not really different than Advanced Battle ending after the Battle Frontier episodes had begun.
 
So, what you're really asking is "Will there be more than 10 episodes left in Sinnoh, which will have to cover one gym, at least one contest, the entire Grand Festival and the league?"

How is that even a question?
 
I'd say it won't consist of four WHOLE seasons, but we're definitely gonna be using up part of season 13 for the end of it unless they decide to make the rest of the episodes in Sinnoh rush by us.
 
Sinnoh is already longer than Hoenn was, if that's what you're asking.

Hoenn ended at AG131. Sinnoh on the other hand is up to DP140 and Ash still only has 7 badges.

At this point back in AG, we were already in the Battle Frontier arc and Ash had his first Frontier symbol. Sinnoh could in fact last almost 200 episodes alone.
 
I don't think so Scott. Sinnoh will not be last for more then 160-170 episodes. Of course my assumption is only valid if there will not be any Elite 4 minisaga, but I honestly don't see this will happen and can't believe so many people really believe in such nonsense. It's like believe in god for me. Deal with it, there's no god and there will be no Ash vs. Elite 4 miniarc.
 
Obviously they will be in Sinnoh when season 13 starts, but the question is, will they go the whole season in Sinnoh? I'm going to guess that they will, because they'll have plenty of time for a season 14 before the next generation and it would be strange to start a new journey mid-season.
 
I anticipate that the Sinnoh episodes will accumulate to somewhere between 165 to 175 episodes. That means indefinitely that the saga will spill over into Season 13 for the U.S. But assuming that does happen, the Galactic Battles will be kept intact through those episodes... just like the 1st Season Theme was kept for the first half of Season 2, the Orange Islands Theme was kept for the first 11 episodes of Season 3, and the Master Quest Theme was kept for the fist 12 episodes of Season 6.
 
They'll still make another opening I suppose. Assuming there are no cast changes from Sinnoh and the filler arc, (and I doubt there will be, unless they finally get rid of Brock), they can simply use the same clips of Ash/Dawn/Brock from the High Touch opening that they didn't use before.

The very long apparent gap between the 4th gen and the 5th gen is going to make the writers stretch out things as long as possible. They really have no reason to end Sinnoh anytime soon.
 
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Galactic Battles will at least be extended to DP156- that's 15 episodes from the 5 revealed episode titles. I do doubt that they will finish the ENTIRE Sinnoh arc, especially with at least one contest, 1-2 episodes worth of gym battles, a 3-episode Grand Festival arc, and a 7 or 8 episode Sinnoh League arc. So chances are... They will probably make another season of the anime. But who's complaining- the Hoenn branch of Advanced Generation ended early and most of it was filler anyway.
 
I don’t think it will contain four full seasons.

More like 3 ½.

Remember there is no news yet of Generation V, so it’s not like they are in a rush to end Sinnoh.

Sinnoh will end likely around the 170-185 episode mark and then it’s on to Johto Battle Frontier (most likely, anyway).
 
170 episodes spent in a single region. I never thought I'd see the day.
 
Who cares about the number of episodes a "region" get -_- it doesn't really matters and there's no reason to compare... stop being ridiculous
And it's funny Scott how on the one hand you say that but on the other hand you want them to stay in that region for 100 more eps to make it a 280 ep saga

It won't matter, anyways, seeing how it's looking like we're going to stay in Sinnoh for at least a little longer than we initially anticipated (Believe me, if we were going to leave Sinnoh soon, then the recent Galactic Episode would have been their finale, and going by the way it ended, it's not their finale.)
 
I never said Sinnoh will end soon, but by how things look like currently - it'll take much longer than the expected until we get gen 5
They'll have to do something to fill this time and everyone know what that will be (even Scott know, he's just in denial)
 
Why would it need 4 seasons? I don't even like the Sinoh seasons.
