>>52930111as much as I know you hate to admit it, you know that Dawn has been treated very specially in JN even long of the PLA/BDSP shilling. they intentionally left her stagnant with her goals they included a plot they did not give you goodbyes and she has a Piplup if the
>>52929992 theory is true (so far it is) then we can expect Dawn to be the last companion to return.
my speculation:
is she depressed? no, discouraged yes but not depressed(like how she was sad in DP)
I think a likely ending would be her and Ash going to travel for Dawns goals and Ash helping her.
