>>39811164He's going to win - and the best part is, THEY GUARANTEED IT.
If they had kept their bitch mouths closed last Gen, we wouldn't be here. But they cried, they petitioned, they ranted, raved and told anyone who'd listen they wanted Ash to win and to change it. Too late to change it with a new Gen on the way, but they heard one message loud and clear - the fanbase wanted to see Ash/Satoshi win a League and with Alola having a newly-formed League in-game, the writers had a way to give him a League win, without worrying about having to avoid the extra trappings of a League win (E4/Champion battles rounds) any other longer-running League would demand (MR battle is acting as this however, but already stated to be an exhibition merely). They called out to on High and on High has answered. They just don't like Its message.
