Can't wait for the new anime to promote itself as doing something entirely "new" only to keep using the same starter trio archetypes as always except for new types.
It will either be Decidueye that will almost guaranteed be Ash's poster boy that will make Greninja look bad or the tiger simply gets the Charizard treatment, barely paying attention to orders and slouching about or "looking too cool for school".
There is absolutely no way Ash will get a Popplio, given its evolutions, unless it stays unevolved. And the water girl already has a Popplio by her side, unless it's not actually hers.
It's definitely hers.
