>>32282947We see that Ash is battling in a gym arena in the second trailer. Assuming that the larger pokemon outside of the circle are Ash's captures, he'll get six badges in this movie since it would make sense for him to have Gengar and Charizard by that time.

Next year is the 20th anniversary of the first movie afterall. 2019 would be the anniversary of the Orange Islands, which is the only league that Ash won, so a potential third movie could focus on the Indigo League.
The title "I Choose You" is a reference to the first episode, but in the case of M20, what if they choose that title to mark the beginning of a movie series? A trilogy seems viablea because three movies per generation seems to be the standard.
