So. Lets take a step back for a moment and look at the big picture here.
Lets ask a couple questions and see if we can come up with answers to them.
>How does Ash find out about Alola and why does he decide to go to school
>If Ash is studying why will he need to travel around Alola fighting the trials
>If the series turns out to be a pure school anime will Aether and Team Skull be scrapped
>Is Pikachu back to being feisty
>Will the Island Challenge be scrapped
>Is graduating Ashs only goal
So, my excitement has toned down and now that I've looked at the situation I've realized that this is the biggest gamble the series has ever taken. This, in some ways, feels like the Attack on Titan spin off series that had the characters go to a middle school or whatever.
If this experiment fails, I don't see a recovery.
