>>31992168There absolutely is a pattern.
>OS was about ash being a rookie and introducing the Pokémon world for the first time. Also 2 gym leaders traveling with Ash and Ash got all the starters.>Advanced was about ash starting over and use everything he learned so far. Also the girl protagonist/rival is May and travels with Ash alongside a Gym Leader and a younger sibling. May picks a Torchic, Brock gets a Mudkip and Ash gets a Treecko.>DP was more casual about these things but there was a story going on. Also the girl protagonist/"rival" is Dawn and travels with Ash alongside a Gym Leader. Dawn picks Piplup, Brock gets nothing and Ash gets 2 starters. Chimchar had an ongoing story with Paul. >BW was about Ash having to relearn everything and reintroducing the Pokémon world for new viewers Ash travels with 2 gym leaders (although Iris is a weird situation where she is a potential gym leader in the anime) with Ash getting all the starter Pokémon.>XY was about Ash starting over and use everything he learned so far. Also the girl protagonist/rival is Serena and travels with Ash alongside a gym leader and a younger sibling. Serena picks Fennekin, Clemont gets Chespin and Ash gets Froakie.>SM will be more casual about these things but there is a story going on. Also no protagonist with Ash this time as there wasn't any in the games, but instead Lana gets Popplio. Ash has Rowlet and Ash may or may not even get Litten. Litten has an ongoing story with Stoutland.Basically, if this would be true, then Ash will get a full on reset in the next series like BW.
