Which Characters Should Return in Pokemon Journeys?

[@AyaanicBond]

I just now realized I forgot Ritchie, so here are my thoughts on his potential return: While I would love to have him return, he probably won’t be coming back unfortunately. He was never a main character, and he only ever appeared twice in the main show. So I don’t think the writers would want him back.

[@jbcatz5]

He was a regular character in the Pokémon Chronicles season.

[@swiftlyshuriken2481]

Shiny: I think Serena will be coming back to the show Me: let's be real here lots of other KZbinrs that are around Pokemon base said the same thing about alola and they were wrong so what makes you think she's going to come back

[@insanemakaioshin]

traveling companions to join the main cast: 1. Serena 2. May 3. Max 4. Dawn 5. Clemont 6. Bonney 7. Sophocles Companions to become re-occuring: 1. Brock(traveling with Lucy & Olivia, oh the comedy) 2. Misty, Lana & Iris (traveling together) 3. Cilan & Mallow 4. Kiawe 5. Lilie(traveling with Gladeon) 6. Tracey Rivals to become re-occuring: 1. Alain 2. Tobias 3. Paul 4. Gary 5. All the rest Others to return: 1. Giovanni( with all 7 of his admins, not counting Will & Karen) 2. Maxie( with Courtney, Tabitha & Blaise) 3. Archie( with Matt, Shelly & Amber) 4. Cyrus(finally returns to the real world; with all 5 Commanders) 5. Ghetsis( with the 6 sages, shadow triad & Colress) 6. Lysandre(we were cheated out of rainbow Rocket last time; with all 5 scientists) 7. Guzma (Team Skull & Yell vs Rainbow Rocket; with Plumeria) 8. the champions, with Steven & Wallace as co-champions of Hoenn 9. the elite 4 members(still think Lorelei & Will are the same person; Kanto/Johto's is Lorelei/Will, Agatha, Bruno & 1 unknown trainer, probably Karen; the Alola Elite 4 hasn't been created by Ash yet, but let's combined the 2 like with kanto & say Olivia decided to travel with Brock & it being Hala, Molayne, Acerola & Kahili)

As for Rivals, we could see Paul and Alain make come back, as well as seeing Tobias make a return. I can see some elite 4 members making a comeback and the champions make a return.

There should be an plot-line where Ash starts having these visions in his sleep, like he was having when they found out Greninja and Ash could fuse. Ash worries Greninja is trying to fuse (remember Greninja didn’t fuse unless the event was pudhing him to his limit), and they go back to Kalos for a couple of episodes, they eventually meet Squishy and that leads to Ash’s emotional reunion with Greninja, turns out Yveltal has awakened and Xerneas is in hiding (or slumbered), so it’s up to Squishy and Greninja to stop Yveltal. Or something like that I could right episodes all day. It’s really not that hard for me to brainstorm these things

Would be cool to see Serena ,Iris and Gary ,but all of them should return Serena :Cool character from X&Y ,Has a long relationship with protagonist and could have a cool battle to end what happens. Iris : Was protective of Ash even though she was weak ,and could have a cool battle to show how shes evolved. In fact,I think it would be cool like we learned that she became the unova champion lime the game Gary:Original Rival to Ash ,and A one that mimics blue. He tries to always annoy Ash and make him feel jealous. He also has not returned ,adding too mystery of his strength and what his tatic will be. It could be in the time of sun and moon ,he has become a researcher. If this were the case ,it should be set out in the champion league double battle thing in sword and shield. Since they csnt make them all battle at once ,they should add characters to cheer on specific characters like Miette from kalos to Serena (Imagine her popping out of nowhere again) or a new character from Orre (Where pokemon collosuem takes place I think). Or pokemon masters region There is so much potential

Exactly she looks so cute and beautiful originally but in that artstyle (journeys artstyle) ik it's fan art but hopefully the animators make her look just as good in journeys as in XY

[@jamesthomas4600]

characters who should return 1.of course misty 2. brock and dawn 3. may and clemont 4.max and bonnie 5. iris and cilan 6. and lastly the serena

[@willdinomaster5592]

I can't wait and I love to see Serena returning, so she can be with her Goal like Ash again that she loves so much. And Lillie should return too because of her Father, Mohn that Ash haven't meet yet, so this could be his chance to meet him for the 1st time when Ash and Goh visits to Alola Region.

[@AyaanicBond]

True

[@willdinomaster5592]

Yep

[@katlynlazuli8954]

I really want Lillie to return since Aureliashipping is my favourite pairing

[@AyaanicBond]

Nice

[@user-rl9ql2fu4y]

Let me tell a spoiler...... Serena will return,Lillie will...Brock n Misty maybe.....as tge rest..We'll wait...I'm so certain of Serena and Lillie because their story is ongoing..beside we really need to know where could Mohn Be.....let's wait😁😁

[@kaylaDancer0116]

I would definitely love to see every past character return if that was possible!

[@darklordnoodlez9863]

Calling it now Alan, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Gary, Sycamore, Paul, Dawn, Lily (and family), and the champions. Though all I really want is the xy team (plus Alan), champions, and some of his Pokemon.

[@LadyOMyth]

One reason I could see them bringing back a companion like Dawn would be for them to give Goh or Chloe or even Ash some advice about their own journeys or to remind Ash of previous events to bring him back to his roots. Dawn actually gave Iris advice in Black and White when she was having problems with Dragonite. Dawn told her about her own journey and how her relationship with Mamoswine was a lot like Iris's with Dragonite. Also with insight from Cynthia, Iris took this advice and was able to get closer with Dragonite over time. So it definitely could work in that format. It's also always interesting to see those old characters in new settings. Also considering the fact that the anime style for the show has changed a bit since we've seen some of the characters, it would be nice to revisit them in the new style and just see how they're doing.

[@smallville-iy1kb]

In my opinion the Poke girl that deserves too return the most is May or Dawn. Serena has been gone a while, but not as much as May, Dawn, or even Iris. I liked Serena when X and Y first came out, but then fans turned her and Ash into the ”Clois” of the Pokémon world and now I can do without her freaking out every time Ash talks to a girl. Anyways I would like to see Tracey, Max, May, Dawn, Alain Ritchie,, Misty, and Brock. Though, they should bring back all travel companions and rivals. Since Ash and Goh visit all the regions maybe we’ll get to see everyone. Hey

[@AyaanicBond]

Sure

[@Bobomz]

Something doesn’t make sense on black and white’s opening how come they showed primeape in the opening if he isn’t in the lab he’s training

[@AyaanicBond]

idk bro

[@SorceressRose]

I miss the X/Y series, because of Serena's story. I liked following it and wish they can do so again. But is it sad I don't think they will? or have anyone return? I miss May and Dawn too. But gosh, I wish Serena would come back.

[@AyaanicBond]

Me too

[@damien2359]

honestly i agree about serena, it’ll probably be a cameo with not much shipping maybe a little but it’s ok because when ash’s journeys does end he’ll likely end up with her

[@AyaanicBond]

Perhaps

[@billycirclehead]

This is your second most popular video on your channel ...(in two weeks!!). Good job! Im proud of you man. This just shows how much of us wants Serena to come back in the gen 8 anime. Even though we probably wont see any refferances to "the kiss" im still hoping there are some amourshipping moments (i dunno, maybe like people said, brock can slap some sense to ash for being so dense and maybe iris could tell her because his a little kid again for not realizing Serena's crush). Oh and also: SErRrRREeeEeNAAaaAaAa!!

[@AyaanicBond]

SERENA

[@bridgetgarrett330]

I want to see Misty and her 3 sisters Violet,Lily,&,Daisy back on Pokémon soon. Misty’s sisters haven’t been on since season 8”advanced battle. Please bring them back to the show soon. Bryce Garrett.

TRACEY?! - great video bro

[@AyaanicBond]

PLEASE TRACEY!!

[@forrestannis909]

Tracey is Professor Oak's assistant, why hasn't he been brought back yet?

[@Gravity_draws]

For the fluff, they should bring back characters like serena and dawn. For the battles, clemont, paul, alain, maybe iris. BUT THEY NEED TO BRING BACK TRACEY IRIS CILAN BONNIE AND MAX SO THEY CAN FINALLY DEVELOP THEIR CHARACTERSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AyaanicBond]

yes plz

[@mcadamshub7351]

Absolutely no one wants iris back she is the worst

[@jasonstinson6249]

Allow me to introduce myself.

[@Brandon-gl7nf]

I hope they bring back pretty much every companion and most of the pokemon for at least one episode. They should make multiple episode arcs with them to have a goal. Unlike currently they are just going place to place with little meaning unless they have a battle or ash catches a pokemon.. I would love to serena come back and stay but she was given so much development it would be really hard to not just ruin her character. Amourshipper forever next season make ash serious again and his look mature and have them go together pls.

[@AyaanicBond]

Me too

[@toastdot]

I would want the XY Gang, Alola Gang, and just Dawn to all come back for companions. I also doubt this is his last series, I bet Ash, will go on as long as the games do.

[@AyaanicBond]

Yeah

[@dawnsbuneary]

I wanna see Paul, Dawn, Tracey(weird he wasn't in the Alola Kanto episode), Serena, Iris(so her Dragonite can meet Ash's), and Gary come back in Journeys.

[@AyaanicBond]

Good choices

[@coolpenguingamer_candice2370]

I honestly just want iris to return as the champion cause I really want to see her progress in herself and in her team. Cause she didn’t return during X and Y like other poke girls same for serena so I honestly think those 2 characters should return.

[@AyaanicBond]

Yeah

[@teamrainbow7674]

I don't know about Pokemon Journeys, but I NEED to at least see Misty, Brock, Dawn, Serena, Cynthia and Paul again at some point before they wrap up Ash's story in the anime ... also wouldn't it be hilarious if the last moment of the Ash story was him finally turning 11 years old

[@AyaanicBond]

lol

[@maleficking6556]

Small theory but, when it comes to the Master Class Trainers, we have one left over. We know there are 8 in total with 3 known (Leon, Lance, and Raihan), and it's assumed the other Champions are apart of it (Steven, Cynthia, Alder, and Diantha). That leaves one more, so my theory is that the 8th Master Class Trainer will be a returning character, potentially Alain. This seems like the season where Ash will finally become a proper Champion Level Trainer, so it's not unreasonable one of his past rivals will reach the same heights (Alternatively, I think Paul would be a good option for a surprise Master Class but I don't think that's likely).

[@maleficking6556]

Additionally, they specifically note that Raihan is Ranked 7 (As opposed to Lance Ranked 2 and Leon Ranked 1), could that Rank 8 person that Ash has to beat in order to enter Master Class be someone he personally knows?

[@AyaanicBond]

Perhaps

[@xtremeblazer3468]

I wonder how Serena would react to this really kiddish version of Ash when she saw him in his most epic and in my opinion the best form in Kalos

[@AyaanicBond]

It won’t change in anything because it’s still the same world, even though the artstyle is different now the characters obviously don’t know that

[@Brandon-gl7nf]

I hope they make it less kiddish at least how he acts and the rest of his friends. If he still is kiddish it will make the amourshipping really weird even if they dont refrence it.

[@nani-fz7uy]

I actually thought that ash is aging through kanto to kalos but in sun and moon he looked like he disage lmao he look like a teen in kalos tho
