>>50334065They will never replace Ash, at most they will reboot him like the movies. This is what I'm expecting will happen next weeks:
109: Ash loses vs. Raihan
110: Ash is sent to his Alolan family for healing
111: Project Mew mission at Sea Mauville
112: Ash meets Paul again, Paul slaps Ash's shit and tells him to get stronger and try next year at M8 where he will wait for him
JN ending: Ash decides to go and train at PokeSpain
And the cycle continues...
