In Best Wishes, the reason they're using Iris...
...instead of just using Hilda is because Takeshi/Brock WILL be appearing in Best Wishes, despite what has been announced. Think about it: Hilda looks to be around fifteen, which is the same age as Takeshi/Brock. Obviously, he'd be all over her constantly to the point where no one could get anything done, and Satoshi/Ash would probably get irritated and ditch them somewhere. Making Iris the same age as Ash is the only option because Takeshi/Brock is not attracted to girls that young. And we don't have to worry about Satoshi/Ash falling for her, since he's Oblivious to Love and/or Asexual.
 * Why would they need him when they have a butler?
 * With a matching green bowtie?
 * Technically a waiter, but okay.

Iris, in the anime, is related to the legendaries
Same in the games. She is the "key" but doesn't know it. In her game screenshot, she is shown next to a guy saying "I have no idea how to awake the dragon Pokemon..." He could be talking about a prophecy that relates to you, Iris, N, or even Bel (Bianca) for a twist.

At some point, Ash is going to get a Riolu or a Lucario
It hasn't happened yet, but given that he's befriended Riley, I wager Ash will either lose to Cynthia, and get either one of the above two or a Riolu egg from Riley, or beat Cynthia and get the egg from her. Then he'll take the egg with him when he goes to the next area and viola, he has a Riolu.

Dent (Cilan) and Iris signify nature and technology
Iris is down to earth while Dent is...A butler Pokemon sommelier.
 * It sounds more like a Harmony Versus Discipline thing, really. Iris lives in harmony with nature, Dent is a disciplined employee.

Ash will win the Unova league.
Top 16 in Kanto, top 8 in Johto, top 8 in Hoenn, 3rd in Sinnoh (and only losing against some guy with 2 ubers).
 * Alternatively, he'll be in the top 2. And lose to N, setting up the Team Plasma arc.

Wes or Michael will show up.
If Orre and Unova are analogous to US states, then it's possible that Team Plasma could get hold of a Snag Machine and use it. Further, if they start making Shadow Pokemon (an Alternate Continuity from the games), Ash would definitely team up with Wes / Michael for An Arc. That sort of thing would be a Berserk Button for him. Given how mad he's gotten at people like Paul for their Training From Hell methods, Shadow Pokemon would be beyond the pale.
 * Why the hell would Team Plasma be making Shadow Pokemon?!?!? If Shadow Pokemon are going to show up, it has to be Cipher that's responsible for them. No exceptions.
 * next project after, maybe? OK, unlikely, but it's definitely in his character.
 * Note: This Guess was written before full plot details were known.

Ash can detect Shadow Pokemon, and conversely, Rui can use Aura.
Being an Aura user, as Riley, Ash and Lucario are, is said to grant a tele-empathic power to read minds. Shadow Pokemon are surrounded with a dark aura that Rui can see naturally, and the Aura Reader can let others see. It follows that they're talking about the same thing. Of course, since Ash has never seen a Shadow Pokemon, this is not verified.

Iris will be Brock's Distaff Counterpart.
She'll always fall head over heels for any good looking guy in the show, resulting in her Axew jumping on her head to make her stop. It will lead to a running gag when Axew evolves into a larger (therefore heavier) form and Ash and Dento must restrain him lest he jump on Iris's head and kill her.
 * Assuming it follows from the games, Iris' Axew is female (unless the Nintendo Event version is fully indicative). Shaga's is male. That makes her, in this Guess, the Distaff Counterpart to Brock's Croagunk.
 * Iris' Axew has been confirmed a male so Jossed.

Sabrina's child-like evil self is secretly manipulating Giovanni and the rest of Team Rocket
. Giovanni's outfit in Best Wishes looks kind of like Sabrina's outfit in the anime except that it's a different color. Also, his secretary looks a little like Sabrina except with glasses and shorter hair.
 * The ghost girl in the summer school arc in DP was Sabrina's evil child self trying to get revenge on Ash and his friends.
 * After looking at pictures of both Sabrina and Giovanni's secretary, I realize that they don't look alike. However they do wear similar outfits so it's still possible that they might be connected.

Iris had awoken Zekrom sometime before the start of the series
This would explain things like how Zekrom appeared to Ash and Pikachu and not as, as well as why Iris seemed to be interested in Zekrom.

Shooti's bird and octoghosts are both male.
They're the only two lines in the Unova Pokedex that have gender differences. Ash will note the difference in looks between his bird and Shooti's, remember that he has a girl, and has Snivy use Attract.
 * The octoghost is already confirmed to be a male since males of that species are blue and females are pink and Shooti's is clearly a blue one.

There will be a Gene/osect movie
Well the last two DNA-themed Pokémon got them.
 * In it, Gene/osect will either be a Complete Monster because of its use as a Team Plasma last resort weapon that develops a mind of its own, or it will be going through a huge amount of culture-shock and desperately trying to find out what his purpose is.
 * Hopefully the Complete Monster route. It would be neat to see a Pokemon villain. Genosect could be an Expy of Mewtwo, except pure evil.
 * For added awesomeness, make the movie be Mewtwo VS Gene/osect. The Zouark Movie had older legendaries with Celebi and the Beasts. So have Mewtwo be in the city where Gene/osect is made, and fight it. It would be a very interesting dynamic, as Mewtwo would see the similiarites between it and Gene/osect.

The reason Pikachu was beaten by Shooti.
Pikachu has been used so often and leveled up so much, its levels looped back to their original. This is because what gives Pikachu its extra power will overload Pikachu's body over time, and experience is vented out to prevent it from being overwhelmed by its own power.
 * Presumably, this happens at the beginning of each new season of the anime, not just BW, since Pikachu gets depowered each time they hit a new region.

Pikachu self-restricts in every new region.
See Proud Warrior Race Guy. It would be no fun if Pikachu just God Moded his way through every new region, nor would it be fair to Curb Stomp Battle the low-levelled Pokemon at the starting area, so he restricts his performance to a level consistent with a starter / average level for the area. Not only is he working under a Self-Imposed Challenge, but his Willfully Weak performance allows the other Pokemon on Ash's team a chance to shine.
 * That explains so very much.

Pikachu is training Ash as much as the other way around.
Goes with the above. Pikachu wants Ash to be "the very best, like no one ever was" too, so the things he does are to help Ash get better. He's also acted like The Obi-Wan / Big Brother Mentor to other Pokemon, who go on to become stellar examples of their kind.

== Tobias/Takuto is actually a projection/illusion created by the legendaries who are also responsible for Pikachu's power drain hence why he can defeat legendaries and get defeated by starter pokemon. == The reason why is because they don't want Ash to win a league and become champion yet. They need him to take care of things in Unova/Isshu first. Also, the movies did in fact happen, they legendaries just make sure everyone forget and they are also deliberately limiting Pikachu's powers so Ash does not rely on Pikachu 100%.
 * If they want to redeem themselves for making that God Mode Sue, that's the perfect way to do it

N will be voiced by Daisuke Ono.
It would please me.
 * Or alternatively, Kappei Yamaguchi, for the sake of Death Note jokes.

Ash and Pikachu made a deal that wasn't shown to not go all out so as to give the rivals and gym leaders a chance and to avoid boring victories
Personally, this feels a bit more realistic then the way the anime does it. Also, Shooti will get the shock of his life should Ash go all out.
 * The shock of his life?

Ash will catch Ducklett
Serebii.net said an episode has been revealed where a flock of Ducklett stole Ash's hat, considering past events where Ash's hat was stolen(Primate and Aipom), Ash should catch a Ducklett to keep with the trend(If not immediately, then eventually)
 * Jossed in the episode they first appeared in. They got blasted off for being Jerkass ducks.

There will be an anime series/movie that doesn't star Ash.
Seriously, how long has he been around? In my opinion, he's getting old (not literally).

There will be a CGI Pokemon movie.
It's possible.
 * No. Just NO.

In the series after B&W, Ash will visit the Orre region.
So far it's the only region from the main series that Ash hasn't been to yet. Wes and Rui could make guest appearances in every episode, or every other episode (with no spoken lines, but will react to the situation accordingly) with Ash lampshading their appearances by asking them if they are stalking him and his friends. One of the friends will cover his mouth and tell them to ignore him.
 * Except Orre is not part of the main series.
 * And those games are how old?
 * There's a unconfirmed rumor that there's going to be an RPG for the Wii, and many speculate that it's going to be based on Orre. If that's true, there's probably going to be some reference to it in the anime, as the Ranger series did, and the Mystery Dungeon games did get their own mini-series.

Iris will leave Ash's group part way though the Unova region.
Ash and Misty traveled together though three regions (Kanto, Orange Archipelago, and Johto), Ash and May traveled though two regions (Hoenn and Kanto), and Ash and Dawn only traveled though Sinnoh together. From this we can determine that the number of regions he travels with each of his female companions decreases each time. Eventually he'll be going through girls like water!

Tobias is possessed by/an illusion of Darkrai.
"His" Darkrai decided to, for the lulz, fight in the Pokémon league and is using Tobias to do it. Latios (and the 3rd Poke he has to have due to the way he beat Ash) are either Darkrai's thrall as well, or other Pokes he convinced to do engage in these lulz.

Movie 14 will have Touko/Touya (Hilda/Hilbert) fighting Wes in the intro.
If it is Touko or Touya will depend on which of the films it is.

Ash will lose the Unova leauge..
However it will be in the top 2, and a climactic battle against N. This will trigger the release of whatever main legendary they have, and thus Ash and co. will have to stop Team Plasma.

The writers will give Tobias Character Development.
The new season reeks of pandering to the fanbase. What better way than giving Tobias purpose? It would serve as an apology of sorts by the writers. My thoughts are this: it will be revealed the Tobias serves as a group of legendary trainers/Aura Guardians dedicated to defending Unova. Tobias serves as a successful member, and The Powers That Be foresaw they would need the help of a fellow Aura user: Ash Ketchum. So they gave him a bred Latios and Darkrai to serve as a test to find strong enough Aura Guardians. Thus, his appearance in the Sinnoh Leauge was a Batman Gambit: to find an Aura Guardian. The defeat of the two legendaries proved Ash was the one.
 * I seriously doubt Tobias will make an appearence. Noone else from the leagues does.
 * But how else will they calm down the fans after that?
 * They don't. Tobias is simply the character everyone wants to forget and will.

Ash will have Team Plasma interrupt his league challenge.
5th badge this early? There is something fishy going on, and Plasma is the most likely bet.

Ash will win the Unova league, with the next "season" using a new character
Brock leaving was a test to see how the audiance would react to abandoning old characters.

Iris is actually Reshiram (or at least one member of the Tao Trio)
Think about it: we don't know much about her origins (or we aren't supposed to know), she's a dragon-type gym leader (all three Tao Pokemon are dragon-type), and there has to be some reason why she is choosing to travel with Ash. She is also clearly interested in Zekrom's activities in the first B/W episode (She doesn't call out Zekrom by name, however), but since she is present in that moment, she would probably not be Zekrom (Unless we got into clones or something like that...), so she could either be Reshiram or Kyurem (Who is possibly the third Tao Pokemon).

Perhaps Iris/Reshiram/Kyurem was disguised as a human girl incognitio, and discovered that she preferred being a human to a Legendary Pokemon, and is hiding from her responsibilities. She could either be the original Reshiram/Kyurem, or a descendant born when the original perished.
 * We have seen most of her (and Axew's) back story.

The reason Ash is still 10 years old is because.
A) Dialgia did something screwy to the timeline, or B) he's not, but he claims to be so his mom can avoid paying more in taxes.

Ash wins the tournament, possibly the E4, and is ready to fight the Champion...
And then N's Castle rises in place of the stadium, destroying the whole structure! Then Ash with his friends + the Gym Leaders and members of the tournament unite to fight Team Plasma in the siege of the Castle. Eventually, N is defeated by Ash, same with Gethsis. However, with all desturction brought by Team Plasma the League is closed without an official winner and Ash has to try a new one.

This way it would stick to the games AND give Ash a legitimate reason to go to a new region, instead of winning the League and staying in Unova as the new champion. WITHOUT stupid defeats by some random -sons and cheating Devils ex Machina.

Something else? Yes, add Team Rocket invasion to the mix! And, if we're going to be absolutely unrealistic, let Ash EVACUATE from the region because of the invasion! MWAHAHAHA!
 * Or Ash gets second place, because he lost to N. With the championship, N will be able to summon Reshiram/Zekrom/both.

Trip's hometown is Driftveil City
This comes from Trip's team. When Ash meets Trip a second time, he claims that he already has two badges as well as having six Pokemon. However, when you look at his team, it's impossible to get some Pokemon like his Frillish or  at that point in the game. This makes this troper think that Trip originally lived in one of these two towns and already captured them before he got his starter. Frillish can easily be caught in Driftveil via surfing in that area. Tranquil can also be caught on Route 6. As for his, since the two cities is a route and a cave away with the tower past Mistralton City.

Then there's the fact that Trip's other two Pokemon are revealed to be. Those two Pokemon can be caught in the Cold Storage area. If that's the case then it could very well be his hometown.

Also, since Driftveil City is known for it's ocean and market place and most of his Pokemon are ocean themed (Tranquil, Frillish ). Finally, since you can apparently buy anything at the market place, this troper wouldn't be surprised if he bought his camera here.

And even though the anime says he's from Nuvema Town, if the theory of the bottom is used, then he might have been living there temporary so he could get his journey started.
 * Uh... since when do game locations have anything to do with the anime? Go look at how many of the main characters' Pokemon in the anime were caught in places they can't be found in the games.
 * It's a theory using game logic. The idea comes from the fact that most of Trip's Pokemon can be caught in Driftveil hence the idea that he originally lived here instead of Nuvema takes place.
 * Yeah, and as pointed out, game logic does not apply to the anime. That his Pokemon can be found in that area means jack.
 * And mind you, this place is WMG so anything goes. Besides, Iris gives the hint that Vanillite aren't found that early in the region by her reaction

Trip will have a more sympathetic backstory.
Compared to Paul who didn't have any excuse for his actions, this Troper hopes that Trip will have some backstory on why he's a jerk toward Ash. Alternatively there will be more to his character than he lets on.
 * To continue from this guess, this troper thinks that Trip has Abusive Parents. This stems from a few hints given in his appearance.
 * He gets mad at Iris when he's called a "kid" or being "childish". This can be interpreted as his parents telling him that being a trainer is a childish dream.
 * Adding on and may come off as farfetched but the way he acts during the Donamite arc comes off as sexist as he underestimates Bianca when she's chosen as his opponent and then looks down on Iris and Burgundy's match when he was taking pictures of them. It comes back to bite him when he  If Trip looks down on women (and Ash), then that might reflect on his relationship with his mother and how he sees her. If his mom turns out to be an Abusive Parent or a Beloved Smother (or both), it could explain his attitude toward women as dismissive...but it also applies to guys as well who are trying to talk to him.
 * Trip tells Ash he doesn't have time to wait around in Castelia City when it would only take a day to get the Venipede situation under control. This could mean that he wasn't supposed to leave on his journey and staying in one place could result in his parents finding and dragging him back home. This again applies to BW 042 when
 * In BW 034, Trip is shown as a child to adore Pokemon and the Champion Alder. You notice that his parents aren't around when he tells Alder that he's going to be a trainer. He's also shown to be a Cheerful Child as a kid. Alder tells him he'll be waiting for him to grow up and be a trainer. At the start of the series, he's no longer smiling like he was in the past. Something tells this troper that his parents didn't take him becoming a trainer well and he had to take extremes in order to become one like running away from home but the result made him come out as cynical.
 * To add to this portion, in BW 054, Alder is shown to not remember who Trip is and constantly forgets his name. While he forgets Ash's name too, it's different with Trip who still remembers the promise and it implies that Alder forgot his promise to Trip (to be fair Trip was just another random kid in a crowd of people and Alder just happened to talk to him). So Trip's minor breakdown midway in the episode comes off as his only person he idolized and probably encouraged him to become a Pokemon Trainer is shown to be a lazy buffoon that can't remember his promise or take him seriously. In other words, his ideal version of Alder is shattered right there when he leaves and he leaves before finding out there is more than meets the eye.
 * His camera. He takes pictures of everything whenever he appears in an episode. He tells Ash he's recording his journey, but maybe he's doing that because he's scared that if he's caught by his parents, he won't be able to continue his journey anymore and is keeping his camera to remember his journey by.
 * Finally, one of the themes in Pokemon Black and White is how the parents are involved with the children of the series and how they affect them. Bianca for example has an Overprotective Dad that would not let her go on her journey. She almost was dragged back home but Elise intervene. There's also N who  Since some themes from Black and White are sliding into the anime, it wouldn't be a surprise if Trip's parents are mentally abusive of him that lead him to be reserved and keeps everything to himself instead of opening up to Ash and co when they have tried to befriend him.
 * (another troper) And maybe Trip's parents will finally find him at the Unova League, just after he loses to Ash. It would be either a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, or a Tear Jerker.
 * Whatever the case, I definitely see him becoming a Jerk With a Heart of Gold. Maybe he could become nicer, in a way that reflects Cheren.
 * Mind you, Trip is already proven to be a Jerkass Facade, so it would be more of a case of Defrosting Ice King then actually remaining as one.

Ash's Palpitoad

 * ...is going to pull a Krabby. OK, so Ash has caught a Palpitoad. Surely I can't be the only one to see the parallels- both Water-types caught while he has six in the party and sent straight to the regional professor. Now while it's a long shot, wouldn't it be awesome to see Palpitoad make a debut battling appearance in the league, evolving to Seismitoad and completely sweeping?
 * Well in BW 041, Ash is going to use Palpitoad in the mini tournament in Nimbasa. It might pull off a Krabby though here.
 * Technically Palpitoad did pull a Krabby in the sense that it won all of its battles in the Nimbasa tournament. However  so Palpitoad while aiming toward the direction of Krabby is just another powerful Pokemon that Ash will use even in

Ash suffers from Munchausen's Syndrome By Proxy

 * Think about it- when was the last time he won a league match to decide a championship? No, there was a time- He defeated Drake in the Orange Islands saga. Back in season two. Does anyone remember the Orange Islands? No, it was a filler arc over ten years ago. Shortly after, Ash has his run-in with Casey where Brock and Misty root for her instead of him. Why? He's not an underdog anymore. Ash decides then that he can't get attention and support unless he loses battles he should be capable of sweeping without blinking. Because of this, he intentionally de-levels Pikachu between seasons using the Bad Seeds from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Okay, sure, he won the Battle Frontier championship, but the point stands- no one cares about his two wins, everyone gripes about how he loses to Person We Don't Care About #7.

Cilan and his brothers are the Shadow Triad.
Cilan has instances of craziness several times. Burgundy states about him and how in her Imagine Spot, she suffered a humiliating defeat from him and he taunts her. She is already made out to be a liar in the episode but when she challenges him later on in this episode, the audience sees Cilan enjoying toying with her needlessly when it would only need one hit to KO both of her Pokemon. Plus, his expression that Burgundy shows in a flashback where Cilan declares that he never said those things has him have a rather evil expression. However, he has a similar dark expression when he's kicking her ass. This means that he might be the one who's lying, but because Burgundy has already proven that she's a big liar, no one would believe her.

In one episode about the fishing contest it was downright creepy how he kept insisting that there was no longer a need for the fishing tournament to continue if he caught the biggest Basulin in the lake. Despite Team Rocket being badass in this episode, Jessie ACTUALLY looked worried at how persistent Cilan was and eventually told him to wait until the tournament was over to give other people a chance. It was almost like Cilan was going Higurashi on her.

And then there was the time when he got pissed off at Ash and Iris FOR DROPPING A LEAF INTO HIS POT and then telling them that it was there fault for messing up lunch. Of course, his sanity goes back to normal after Iris just pulls out an apple and says "We'll just look for more food." Ash apologizes unlike Iris but the audience sees Cilan's instability at this point. And at the end of the episode, he was pissed that Ash and Iris never came back and he's all "It's waiting in vein time..."

Cilan favors the villain role to the point that Iris thinks that's creepy. Cilan clearly states that the villain makes the plot...but if you take into account that he might be the Shadow Triad, he might be foreshadowing being a member. There's also the fact when Cilan tells Luke to keep filming, he decides to stop being the villain and to play the Anti-Hero...and that might foreshadow him changing to Ash and Iris' side. He also calls Iris his princess in this episode. True they were only acting but Cilan was adamant about Iris being the princess at the end.

During the Don George Battle arc, what Burgundy said about him originally in episode 19 is starting to show. Cilan outright thinks she's annoying which given his personality, annoying doesn't seem to be in his vocabulary. And similar to what he did to Burgundy in battle, he owns Trip in battle but Trip isn't like Paul and doesn't blame his Pokemon. He just tells Cilan he's frustrated but he'll use this loss to get stronger. And then come another episode where he's constantly taunting his opponent Luke...to be fair, he's trying to give Luke some encouragement given his situation with battling. Additionally, he planned on clearly insulting Burgundy when she asked for a Connoisseur battle but he noticed Luke filming the camera when apparently no one in the room noticed but him (which shows that he's very observant and as a member of the Shadow Triad, you have to be aware of your surrounding) and decides to take her up to the challenge, which surprised her given that Burgundy thought she was certain he was going to reject her. No one else seems to notice the switch in Cilan's personality but her.

Then comes BW 069 concerning Skyla's appearance.

Somehow, the idea of him being a Nice Guy is shattered if you put this into perspective.

Which leads to...

Following the theory that the Striaton City Gym Leaders are the Shadow Triad in Black and White...
They are also the Shadow Triad in Best Wishes. Cilan will reveal his identity as a member of Team Plasma near the end of the series, and Brock will show up to take his place back and help Ash stop Plasma.
 * Alternatively, Cilan will pull a Heel Face Turn due to traveling with Ash and Iris for so long and will convince his brothers to leave Team Plasma.
 * That's going to be hard, considering their leader is Ghetsis Harmonia.
 * Hey, he could be lucky if someone actually tries to defend him like say Iris who would say something along the line of, "I know the real Cilan and he's definitely not a member of Team Plasma!" Cue Crowning Moment of Heartwarming and possibly Love Redeems without thinking of the consequences despite knowing what type of person Ghetsis is.

Tobias is Pierce in disguise.
The whole Sinnoh Leauge thing was a Plan, so that he could gain more information about Sinnoh-ultimately, this info will help Giovanni take over Sinnoh along with the rest of the world. It could also be to study Ash and his possible connection to the Unova legendaries (he is the Chosen One, after all.) And as a Continuity Nod, Pierce would note Ash as the reason why Jessie, James and Meowth have become the abysmal failures they are today (yes, before they met Ash they were skilled.) Revealing this information has made the trio become Dangerously Genre Savvy. As to why Pierce has legendaries...
 * He's a high-ranking operative, and TR probably have stolen a few legends in their time
 * He's voiced by Dan Green!

Ash is going to break Trip's camera.

 * It's only a matter of time. Ash has broken something from someone in every region and that includes Misty, May, Dawn and Barry's bike. Iris doesn't have a bike but gets electrocuted instead. And since Trip really seems to like that camera, having Pikachu break it would have another person bitching at Ash to buy a new one.
 * Could easily be another Pokémon breaking it. It was Gible who destroyed Barry's bike.

Soon, there's going to be a giant flood, and they will get 2 of every Pokémon and put them on a giant ark.
Why not?
 * Wobbuffet. *wink*

From now on, all movies will feature shiny Pokemon distributions.
First it was the Beasts with Zoroark's movie, and now it's Hydreigon and Golurk with Victini's movie. The producers have realized giving out incredibly rare versions of Pokemon helps generate interest.

Volcarona will play a prominent role in one of the future movies.
Seeing as it's practically treated as a legendary Pokemon in the games. Its role will, naturally, have something to do with the sun being blocked out. Perhaps Kyurem will be the causing a never-ending blizzard?

The Pokemon world really does have 4 month years, Ash's age is just being given in "our" years
This explains how years can pass but Ash can still be 10.

There will be a Kyurem focused episode in which Iris gets character developement.
She has a phobia of ice pokemon because of their effect on dragon types, so it only seems reasonable that she would eventually come across a pokemon that is both an ice and dragon type.

We're going back to Hoenn.
It's already been established that Black and White is going to be a shorter arc than normal. If we get Ruby and Sapphire remakes, Ash may return to Hoenn and bring Iris and Cilan with him, creating a five-member traveling party for the first time.

Ash will trade his Roggenola that hopefully evolves into Boldore with Trip's Gurdurr.
If the game mechanic is followed once, then this could be possible. It would also be a call back with Zoey suggesting that Ash trade his Aipom with Dawn's Buizel only with someone like Cilan suggesting that they trade. This could also be subverted too as the minute they trade, they want their Pokemon at the end of the episode and end up receiving the final evolution of said Pokemon they originally traded.
 * As of BW 072, the original troper can say Jossed.

Trip's Vanillite is a girl.
Throwing this one out there. This is due to the whole Smurfette Principle. Ash's entire team is male and that left him at the mercy of Snivy until he found out that his Pidove was female. The same could apply to Trip too. If attract was more like it's game counterpart, it would be hitting all of Trip's Pokemon way too easily. However, looking at Trip's Pokemon and paying attention to the voice actors, while woman are capable of voicing male Pokemon, its to be noted that almost all of Trip's Pokemon are voiced by males EXCEPT Vanillite (and this applies to the English version as well). Frillish does not count because the color of its body is blue and therefore confirms that its a male. Besides, Vanillite gives the impression of being a female in comparison to Trip's other Pokemon with the way it acts.

Predictions for the Best Wishes finale.
Alright, this is going to be long. As Ash enters the Unova Championships, Jessie, James and Meowth are intrigued. Since N is a part of the leauge, Giovanni sends the three to spy on the battles, and keep an eye on N. There will be many fangirls of N in the crowd, for the obvious reasons. Even Jessie will admit he's cute. It will end with Ash vs Trip, and N vs Bianca. Ultimately, it will end with Ash and N as the finalists. During this, Jessie and James will bet on who will win. It will be a Crowning Moment of Awesome. Ash's last Pokemon is Pikachu, while N's last Pokemon is...sunglasses Krookodile. Hey, N befriends Pokemon, so why not Krookodile? And N will win.

Gaining the Championship title, N will be able to summon Zekrom. His castle will rise, and it'll be up to Ash and co to convice N of what he's doing is wrong. In order to counteract the N'd of the world as they know it, Ash will end up allying with Reshiram. All the meanwhile, Giovanni is heading to the castle, having enough of this "saving the Pokemon" bulls***. He has come to the conclusion that Reshiram and Zekrom are inherently tied to the object of his desire. He will arrive just to see Reshiram defeat Zekrom.

Then Ghetsis appears. Being enraged that his plans are foiled, he'll insult and maybe even hurt N. And, infuriated, will eliminate Ash with his Hydreigon's Focus Blast. All of a sudden Jame's Cofagrigus appears, and takes the blast in stride! This is because James and Jessie ordered this, since outright MURDERING the twerp is just plain awful. Irritated by this, Ghetsis orders Hydreigon to give their Pokemon a Curb Stomp Battle. However, Giovanni prevents this.

And so begins evil vs eviller. Giovanni will tell the weird-looking man that he knows what he's doing is nothing but a lie. Laughing maniacally, Ghetsis fully admits he's been using N all this time, so he can conquer Unova itself. Cue Giovanni being shocked at this, and a subtle reference to Madame Boss. Ghetsis will use his Hydreigon, and Giovanni his Rhyperior. In the end, Giovanni will win.

What happens to Ghetsis after this is unknown. He won't simply be jailed, since he deserves worse. It'll either be a (perhaps his own Pokemon turn on him?), or he'll wish he was killed then and there. Or maybe a Karmic Transformation courtesy of Cofagrigus. Or all of the above. Cue Tear Jerker between Ash and N, and some farewell scene.

At the end is a Sequel Hook: that Giovanni has found the source of the power he needs, and without Team Plasma there's nothing in the way over his Take Over the World scheem. He will tell the trio to keep close eye on Ash, due to his experience with Reshiram. Setting us up for what we've wanted since the very beginning: the fight against Team Rocket!
 * A different troper and as awesome as this plot is, you're giving the writers of Pokemon too much credit to think of something this cool.
 * They're bringing out Giovanni and his crew for the first time in years. My idea may be better than what they plan, but I bet there's some truth in it.

We will soon have our long awaited Ash n' Co vs Team Rocket arc.
Why do I say this? Consider how much the status quo has been crushed. Brock is no longer part of the team, Ash is balancing all members of his party, Jessie and James got promoted and Giovanni is active. It's very possible that, after the Team Plasma arc, a true Team Rocket arc is possible.

If Paul is introduced in a film, he would either...
1.Still have the whole Buddy, Buddy with Ash, and one adventure later, learn the troubles he caused by a bigger Complete Monster, and FINALLY be treated well with the fanbase. 2.Get sent back to square 1 as a jerk, team up with the big bad, and get his just deserts. 3.My personal favorite. GET RIPPED APART BY A LEGENDARY POKEMON, YEAH!!!
 * This troper would just love karma to hit Paul at least once. Dips for Trip actually giving him a smack down on his attitude rather than in a Pokemon battle (because Trip would lose due to being a beginner) and show the Paul fangirls/boys that Trip ain't his replacement and he'll give reasons why.

Paul was right all along.
Think about it: he was pretty much owning Ash every step of the way until the League, aside from the tie and the Pokeringer thing (and Staravia only won because it evolved.) He lost to Ash because Infernape got lucky and activated Blaze.
 * Or maybe Paul just needed to get his ass handed to him instead of winning every single time because the writers liked him better than Ash.

Meowth wasn't really fired.
OK, this one's too obvious to not be on the page. Cue I Knew It in one week. This WMG has been posted by Bwburke 94 on August 18, 2011.
 * This is an obvious one and the audience has to wait for a month until the Subway Boss battles to confirm if Meowth was fired or not but it's obvious from the get go that he's lying and that those who really think he pulled a Heel Face Turn are Genre Blind.
 * Original poster here. So... nothing major in today's episode, but the episode airing on September 8 seems to be the most likely of the next few to confirm this.
 * OP again, posting on September 9. While yesterday's episode didn't confirm anything, Meowth's apparently not appearing in the September 22 episode featuring Elesa. Here are the possibilities:
 * Meowth reveals he wasn't fired in next week's two-parter, rejoins Jessie and James, and doesn't appear similar to how the Lenora episodes didn't have TR.
 * Meowth really was fired, and he is Put On a Bus. While he does appear in the current ending song, it's about time for the ending to change so we can't rule this out.
 * Meowth wasn't fired, and is caught by one of the main cast. Given the way Pokémon ownership works in the anime, Meowth would essentially turn into a Rocket-aligned version of Psyduck, coming out of his Poké Ball and screwing over Ash & co.
 * Meowth was fired, is caught by one of the main cast, and completes his Heel Face Turn, simply not being used in the first Elesa episode. Unlikely due to Status Quo Is God, but it would be a fitting conclusion to fourteen and a half years of losing to Ash. If you can't beat him, join him.
 * This is the troper who replied after the suggestion.  Again, people who didn't see this coming are Genre Blind.
 * OP here. It took a month, but I Knew It.

Bianca doesn't have two Badges.
She was lying. When we first met her, she had only one Pokemon - Pignite. She also claimed to have two Badges, but we never saw them, and we still haven't seen them at this point. She's lost every match she's been in.
 * Alternatively, she does have the two badges but the same could be said with Trip who claims to have four badges but the audience has not seen them to have definite proof. And while the supported theory is that Cilan doesn't remember her challenging his gym (to be fair, there are other gym leaders in the anime), one can very easily beat two gyms with one Pokemon. And just because she loses every match because she uses Minccino instead of Pignite doesn't mean she won off screen...which doesn't mean much to the audience.

The last season of Pokemon will star the protagonists of Gold and Silver going through their storyline.
Think about it. This whole time we've been watching Red's counterpart, Ash. The Second to last season will end with Ash becoming champion. Then, a new season starts. We see the new protagonists, Gold and Lyra or whatever they're named then. They decide to journey together. Along the way, they talk to people we've seen before and maybe even catch legendaries as you do in the games. And they keep hearing about some kid who was there before them and his awesome Pikachu. Finally, they get to Kanto. Maybe a little change in animation back to the original quality. They fight through the Kanto gyms too. Soon, they get to Pallet. They end up talking to Delia Ketchum (because you know you talked to Red's mom, too), who tells them the wonderful boy they've been hearing about is her son, and that she hasn't seen him in years. They get the other region's starters, train them, and soon, they're ready to challenge Mt. Silver. They spend at least 2 episodes getting to the top.

Then, the final episode. No music. Silence except for the sound of wind blowing and footsteps as they come up the stairs. The screen goes white. And then you see him sitting there, at least a few years older, with Pikachu on his shoulder. Ash, grinning at us, in his original outfit, with his Charizard, a Blastoise with sunglasses, and a determined Venusaur are behined him. The screen cuts to black.

Instead of the usual credits, you hear something that gives you chills. It fades back in to show Ash, Brock, Misty, May, Max, Iris, Tracy, Cilan, Dawn, and the new guys singing Kareoke. The song? The original opening. It shows an after party. Either Lyra or Gold tearfully ask if it's over. Ash grins. Cut to black.

That, my freinds is how it will end. Around 20 years from now.
 * Gold/Ethan has two counterparts in the anime, Jimmy from The Legend of Thunder and an unnamed counterpart from Pokémon Zoroark Master of Illusions. Lyra appeared in DP, and Kris has a counterpart in Marina from Legend of Thunder. I'd say, despite TLoT being badly dubbed by 4kids, that Jimmy and Marina are the most likely pairing for this, with Lyra as the Brock, so to speak. Whether TPCi would keep the 4kids names remains to be seen. Then again, Ash isn't leaving the lead role so this isn't going to happen. And what's with all your typos?
 * I hadn't seen Legend of Thunder. Did it ever come on TV? I must have missed that episode of DP, too. I wrote this at school without alot of time to read over it, so I guess I must have messed up in a few places. Did God say that Ash would never leave, or that he'd never leave for the forseeable future?

The first Pokemon that will evolve in Ash's party is Tepig
This troper just has this feeling that he'll evolve first with the focus he's currently getting. Oshawott isn't evolving anytime soon and Snivy will likely be the second one to evolve. This troper is hoping he'll evolve in BW 053 (the team battle against the Subway bosses.)
 * First? Don't you mean third? Two of Ash's other pokemon have already evolved once. They are Pidove, now Tranquill, and Sewaddle, now Swadloon.
 * Original troper and I'm referring to the main starter trio as there is constant debate on which one will evolve first.
 * Original troper who posted this. All she can say is
 * Original troper who posted this. All she can say is

Eventually Iris and Cilan are going to end up fighting
There has been speculation that because the two are so different that the two will have an episode where they're fed up with one another and split the group up for that episode (like at the beginning with Ash and Misty) with Ash being in the middle, not choosing sides and just spending the entire episode training or getting in trouble that will force the two to work together to help him out. This could be a Ship Tease episode too...

If a third generation remake is made...
Ash will switch some of his current pokemon with some of his Hoenn region pokemon. When FireRed and LeafGreen were released the characters got some generation 1 pokemon and when HeartGold and SoulSilver were released the characters got some generation 2 pokemon. Since it is unlikely that anyone will be able to catch Hoenn pokemon in Unova, this is only way a character can have Hoenn region pokemon.
 * Considering that previous seasons used the switching to allow a Pokemon to evolve as well (Phanpy/Donphan in the 3rd generation, in the 4th), perhaps Corphish could finally evolve as well., and it's the only one of his Hoenn Pokemon to be unevolved.
 * This troper think that it is possible that Bulbasaur will end up evolving into Ivysaur, thus making Ash have the same Pokemon as Pokemon Trainer in Super Smash Brothers Brawl.
 * Not to mention Unova Pokemon after getting the National Dex.

If Brock shows up in Best Wishes...
...His running gag about failing to seduce women will be changed into Axew jumping into Brock's hair and biting his scalp and then Brock freaking out while he tries to get it out and stop biting. This may result in a rivalry between Croagunk and Axew.
 * Let's hope so, I'd pay to see that.
 * But in order to prevent everyone from chasing after him, he'll have to either A) Switch out Croagunk for a Gen V Pokemon that knows the same move, or B) Hang around Lacunosa Town, Undella Town, and Black City/White Forest.

The Best Wishes anime will end with Ash finally getting some respect.
Given the sheer lengths the writers are willing to go to ensure Ash never wins a Pokemon League Championship, it's safe to say it won't happen here. However, the anime will adapt the game's ending to the anime's ending. Just as Ash has his mandatory big loss, N crashes the party, beats down the trainer who just beat Ash and anyone who could concievably be a threat, then proclaims himself ruler of Unova. Ash proceeds to save the day with his weakened team, fight off Team Plasma and redeems N. After that, the the tournament will be cancelled in light of the damage done by Team Plasma, but Ash will be given high honors for saving the day, which will be addressed in later seasons. (Ash will decide to move on to the next region rather then stick around and wait for next year's tournament.)
 * Who says he'll have to lose before Plasma crashes the party? I'd say they make their move either during or just before Ash's Semi-Final match against an unnamed opponent. (He'll have beaten Trip in the Quarters.)
 * It's more dramatic if Ash takes a huge hit just as Plasma makes their move. But fair enough.
 * Perhaps Ash makes it to the finals, however N is part of it for his plan and beats Ash in a close battle. Thus gearing up for the climatic battle to stop Team Plasma.

If Cassidy and Biff are in the Best Wishes anime, they'll also have gotten promoted.
They'll likely be Team Rocket's equivialent of shock troops: stealing Pokemon is to be done with the maximum ammount of mayhem.
 * Okay, who changed the title of this?

If Cassidy and Botch are in the Best Wishes anime, they'll have gotten demoted.
Because of their Badass Decay, Cassidy and Bitch were demoted to Jessie and James's old position: stealing Pikachu. Jessie and James basically stole their jobs.
 * Thus setting them up to be the new punching bags of the anime.

THE NAME IS BUTCH!!!!!

 * No it's not, Bitch.

There will be an instance of Even Evil Has Standards.
Specifically, Giovanni will be shocked when he learns Ghetsis abused N. Maybe even with reference to his mother from the CD Drama. Because we need to show just how bad Ghetsis is.
 * I don't know, Giovanni wasn't exactly a bed of roses to Silver.
 * He's still a saint compared to Ghetsis. It's more Parental Neglect. Plus Silver was dickish even before this.
 * Presuming we actually see Ghetsis.

Ghetsis will be Killed Off for Real in the anime.
He's certainly bad enough, and thanks to Hunter J, we know that villians can get offed.
 * Death is too good for him. Ghetsis will suffer a Fate Worse Than Death, or And I Must Scream. Courtesy of Kyurem.
 * (Original Poster of WMG) Or Arceus could deal with him. Mummification via Cofagrigus also works. Bonus points if that Cofagrigus evolved from James' Yamask.
 * That would be a Karmic Transformation: after being mummified, Ghetsis would become a Yamask. Thus allowing an extra storyline with him, just in case we need it.
 * (Again, Original Poster) Being turned into a Pokemon is a nice Ironic Hell for Ghetsis...yeah, I like this idea!
 * To make it even sweeter, that Yamask will end up in N's care. Being reduced to an impotent Yamask, completely dependent on the child he's manipulated...nothing could be a greater Hell for him...
 * (Yet again, Original Poster) If that does happen, James better get a Bond One-Liner when Ghetsis is mummified.
 * Again, this presumes that Team Plasma is or was active in Unova during or prior to Ash's tenure there. Given that we haven't seen Plasma in the Anime yet, Ghetsis' Anime existance is still not guaranteed.
 * He could appear in the next series.

When Team Rocket is defeated for good...
Jessie, James, and Meowth will be recruited as mercenaries for a demolition company. Jessie will wield a flamethrower, Meowth will brandish a basball bat and shotgun, and James will sport a classy suit while sneaking around and stabbing people in the back.

When Best Wishes ends, Jessie, James, and Meowth will be promoted again.
Even after returnig to their white uniforms and more humorous personas, they're still serious about their mission, and we have yet to see a true blast-off. Adding to this, they seem to play a big part in the "Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma" episodes (in which they wear thier black uniforms, natch). Speaking of Team Plasma, let's not forget Ghetsis, and how disgustingly evil he is. Taking someone that bad down--or even helping do it; recall that they've teamed up with Ash and company in the past--would earn anyone respect.
 * And Giovanni will be very glad to see Team Plasma destroyed.

Jessie, James, and Meowth will die in the finale
Most likely in a Heroic Sacrifice or Taking You With Me during the final battle with Ghetsis. The trio's sudden leap in competence was just a last hurrah by the writers before Team Rocket gets offed.
 * at a minimum, considering that that would be the price to pay for
 * (Original poster) If that does happen, he'd better get a Facing the Bullets One-Liner. Bonus points if he delivers it in his usual way of speaking.

James will add a Maractus to his party
Look at his history with Grass-types that have thorns.

When James' Yamask evolves...
It will either continue the "attacks James out of affection" gag (though it would mummify James rather than bite him.) Or, randomly hug anyone in sight, thus achieving Memetic Molester status to rival Ash's Muk.

N isn't going to appear in Best Wishes
Instead, he'll appear in the next series, and we'll finally find out where he flew off to and what he did there.

First who he still voluntarily works with for most of Pokémon Black and White. Ergo N probably has some pretty strange ideas on how people are supposed to treat kids. So if Ash and freinds mess with Team Plasma's plans he might not be as nice to them as he was to the player character in the games. Since they can't explain all that the first time N shows up that would make him appear somewhat unsympathetic, and all the media N has been in so far seems to be working to make him as sympathetic as possible.

Second, Ash and friends always doing everything is getting a bit annoying. The anime could use some Colonel Makepeace types, or references to other people doing important things that Ash had nothing to do with. Things like redeeming N.

Third, a lot of people really want to know what happened to N, and having the person who got him to leave Team Plasma move to another region and run into N there would just be wierd.

Alternatively, N won't appear in the anime series at all.
They've already skiped several of his ingame appearance locations, his story back story being much darker then most villains, and after the TP episodes getting put on hold because of the disaster over there in Japan with no signs of ever coming up again...
 * These are so depressing WMG ones...this troper thinks we should be more optimistic and pray that he'll show up soon and that the writers are hiding all information away just to surprise the audience when he does appear...

Iris will get the Deino in the future episode.
She only has one dragon Pokemon and it gets annoying when this is the region with the most dragon Pokemon Iris can catch. She's supposed to be a dragon master and in order to do that, she needs at least two dragons. The trailer with all the long episodes shows Iris befriending a Deino that is waiting for its trainer. However, we don't see the end result, but chances are that Iris might get that Deino if the trainer turns out to be a jerk.

Trip is an Unreliable Narrator.
Trip keeps insisting that Alder told him to get stronger so they would battle the next time they meet. When the group finally meets Alder in BW054, while Alder can remember Trip to a certain extent, he's almost positive that he didn't tell Trip that only strong Pokemon matter. However, Trip really seems insistent that Alder told him this. What can that mean? He misinterpreted their encounter and only some of the details are right while he blocked out other details (that might be related to trauma, that goes back to the theory above about Trip having Abusive Parents (or neglective parents).) By the end of the episode, the audience knows that Alder was telling the truth when he didn't say that power was the most important part of being a trainer with him constantly asking Ash and co about what their definition of strength means and about their goals. Only time will tell if the flashback comes to mind only to see something completely different.
 * Or it's plausible that he met Alder before his Pokemon partner died. In the games, Alder says that before the Pokemon's death, they "madly pursued strength" and that it's death changed the way he looks at things.

Trip will win the Unova League
He'll go on to challenge Alder and lose, proving his ideal about power was wrong.
 * Or he'll have a Break the Haughty/Break the Cutie (depending on the on WMG above on whether or not he was told thing and misinterpreted it or he was seriously told that and then told something else) that will make him realize much sooner that he was wrong.

Ash's Scraggy will learn Low Kick
Scraggy knows only three moves as of this WMG, and according to it's bulbapedia entry,the event Scraggy knows all three moves plus Low Kick.

Dr. Zager is Charon in disguise
They do look kind of similar, don't they? As for why he's working for Giovanni: He escaped after Team Galactic collapsed, joined Team Rocket under a false identity, and is planning his own Take Over the World scheme under their noses. Ordering Jessie, James, and Meowth to  is part of this.

Kyurem VS The three swordsmen will have another version to the movie
Similar to how Victini features two versions of the movie alongside either reshiram or zekrom, this coming movie will feature either Keldeo or Meleotta, depending on the two versions.
 * I thought that the Victini movies were like that because Reshiram and Zekrom were version exclusives. None of the legendaries on the upcoming movie are version exclusives, making this theory unlikely, unless they try to have continuity with the Victini movies, in which case the likelihood of this theory being true dramatically increases.

Kyurem VS The Three Swordsmen will feature pokemon from previous generations
I saw the promotional poster on Bulbapedia and in it, there were pokemon from previous generations (besides Pikachu of course).

Future Pokemon owned by main characters prediction.

 * Ash Ketchum
 * Accelgor/Escavaliar, given the future episode being about a link trade between the two
 * Heatmor. Note that Ash has gotten a second Pokemon of his starter type(Oshawott-Palpitoad, Snivy-Leavanny) except for Tepig. Heatmor can fit this role
 * Iris
 * Deino. She is a dragon type trainer, and when Axew evolves, someone will need to replace his spot.
 * Cilan
 * Deerling. He is a grass type trainer.
 * Durant. If Ash gets Heatmor, it would be funny for him to get Heatmor's natural enemy.
 * James
 * Maractus. It's a staple for him to get grass types which hurt him.
 * Jessie
 * Tynamo. It will eventually evolve into Eeletrik, which fits Jessie's use of serpent Pokemon. Plus it combines Irony with Took a Level In Badass.
 * Bianca
 * One of her Pokemon from the game. I'd go with Musharna
 * Female Frillish. We already have a male Frillish, so it'd be nice to see a female example.
 * Trip
 * Larvesta. Alder is his hero.
 * Burgundy
 * Pokemon that counter/rival Cilan. For example:
 * Gothitele to parallel Stunfisk. One is Rule34 bait, the other is
 * A Pansear to counter Pansage
 * Georgia
 * Cryogonal, just to piss off Iris.
 * Well BW083 is to reveal her Vanilluxe, so you weren't far off on that one.
 * Luke
 * Klink. Gear, machinery...

Cameos

 * Assuming the guy from Zoroark's movie wasn't supposed to be Hilbert's counterpart, he and Hilda will probably show up challenging the battle subway.
 * Assuming the guy from Zoroark's movie was supposed to be Hilbert's counterpart, Hilda will get a scene against N.
 * Cheren will have a scene battling Bianca.
 * Leaf will have a scene battling Wally.
 * Wes will battle Michael.

The Team Plasma arc will be set after the Unova leauge.
Given the delay due to the Japanese earthquake and that we're all the way up to the sixth gym leader, its unlikely we'll see it all fitted in into the pre-leauge episodes. Having it set afterwards will not only prevent the Team Plasma arc from being rushed, but also give a valid excuse for visiting the post-Elite regions. If this is right, I expect signs to be shown during the leauge. Maybe N could appear
 * I support this idea.

There will be more instances of villains being Complete Monsters in the near future

 * Subsequently, we'll get more villains who are Killed Off for Real.

Ideas for Complete Monster villains

 * Related to WMG above, this troper has few ideas for Complete Monster villains:
 * One would be Team Rocket executive or scientist who thinks that Pokemon are mindless beasts who don't feel anything and likes to see them tortured. He would be incredibly cruel and sadistic, abusing his Pokemon, treating them like weapons and would torture them if they would fail him or would be no longer needed. He would fight against Ash and his friends, and he would use his Pokemon to attack Ash and his friends and would try to beat their Pokemon to death For the Evulz. He would be so evil that even other Team Rocket members would be terrified of him. He would also be The Starscream to Giovanni and would try to usurp him, while pretending to be his loyal henchman.
 * Another would be wealthy and powerful Unova businessman, who on the surface runs the Pokemon daycare centre and seems to care about Pokemon and pretends to be nice fellow, but in reality he would be Corrupt Corporate Executive who secretly uses Pokemon as slave-labor and makes them work in coal mines and more hard menial jobs 24/7 and he would raise them in harsh conditions. He would also be a powerful crime boss who uses slave Pokemon as weapons for his criminal empire and would sell them to Team Rocket for a large amount of money.. Ash and friends would eventually find out about this and would try to stop it. If there would be the Team Plasma arc, he could play a role in that arc.
 * Third one would be another Pokemon Hunter, like J, Rico and Poacher Bros. He would be one of the Unova region's most wanted criminals and would be the most dangerous poacher in Unova. He would travel across the Unova region and terrorize entire cities and towns and would threaten innocent people and trainers into giving their Pokemon to him and he would kill the trainers if they would be getting in his way. He would also go around the towns and steal Pokemon simply for his own amusement and would have no qualms using actual guns to hunt his prey. He would also torture captured Pokemon into becoming his killing machines or would imprison them in cages with electric-lined bars. He would be cold, calculating sadist who plans his next attacks and hunts and would show no emotion and would talk in Creepy Monotone. He would try to capture Ash's Pokemon and would try to kill them For the Evulz. He would also be hinted to have killed someone.

Building off of those ideas...

 * We have the possible fates of the Complete Monsters in the above WMG:
 * The "Team Rocket scientist" villain is Killed Off for Real...by Giovanni, who knew the guy was planning on betraying him the whole time. Giovanni had been planning on keeping the guy around as long as he was useful, but decided to get rid of him before then when he found out about the bastard's experiments.
 * The "slave coal mine" villain receives No Holds Barred Beatdown from the heroes, and subsequently suffers an EPIC Humiliation Conga: his lies are exposed, his coal mines are destroyed by a full-scale revolt, all of his fortunes are lost and his criminal empire is brought down in flames (perhaps literally). Cue very cathartic Villainous Breakdown and prompt arrest. As a final kicker, he has to clean up all the rubble from his mines. By himself, with no equipment except a shovel.
 * The "Pokemon Hunter" villain is Killed Off for Real when his ship is destroyed, a la Hunter J. Unlike J, however, he suffers an extra bit of Humiliation first, having his henchmen bail on him at the last minute and all of his captures escape. Then he gets blown clean out of the sky by a well-placed Thunderbolt to the fuel lines, courtesy of Pikachu.

More ideas for Complete Monster villains

 * This troper (the same who wrote the ideas about Complete Monsters) has more ideas for Complete Monster villains for Pokemon.
 * First would be incredibly sadistic and malicious trainer, who would make Paul look like saint by comparision. He would be Pokemon trainer, who would travel around Unova region and look for Pokemon trainers, so that he could humilliate and strike fear into his opponents. When he would battle, he would send his pokemon and would order them to brutally beat and torture his opponent's Pokemon in a lot of cruel and violent ways, even after they cannot battle. Even if he would win he would keep the battle going by brutally beating, torturing opponent's Pokemon, just to cause his opponents even more pain and humilliation. He would enjoy the suffering of his opponents and his entire fighting style would revolve in striking fear into his opponents. His goal would be breaking the spirit of his opponents, not to win. And that's not everything. He would give brutal Hannibal Lecture to his opponents, saying that he or she is weak and his/her Pokemon are weak and useless and on top of that, he would try to kill the trainer and even would try to steal his or her Pokemon. He would be one of Ash's rivals and he would battle Ash in 6-on-6 battle, where he would cruelly beat and torture Ash's Pokemon, mock them and giving "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Ash and would humilliate Ash and his Pokemon after he defeats him (the sadist trainer would also do that to other characters). This would have a big effect on Ash. Ash may have a Heroic BSOD, where he would think that he is a worthless trainer and that he let down all of his Pokemon and would plan on giving up being Pokemon trainer. Even his Pokemon would be mentally broken by sadist trainer's humilliation. The sadist trainer would also torture and treat his Pokemon horribly if they fail or just For the Evulz. He would become increasingly Ax Crazy and would try to kill the trainers. His signature Pokemon would be Hydreigon, which would be incredibly vicious and just as bad as his trainer. In short, this trainer would be Expy of Mizuchi Reiji from Metal Fight Beyblade.
 * Just to add on this, it will be revealed(or at least hinted) that he's the previous Champion of Sinnoh. Much like how Barry is a fan of Paul, it will be revealed that Paul was a fan of him. This may explain Paul's harsh treatment of his Pokemon-he's acting out on his hero.
 * Second villain would be a an incredibly powerful megalomaniac villain, who would be a perfect villain for Pokemon film and would serve as the film's Big Bad. He would be power-hungry megalomaniac, whose goal is to take over entire world and rule it as dictator with his iron fist. He would think that Pokemon are mindless beasts, who are nothing more than mere weapons for humans and have no feelings. He would have an army of powerful high-tech henchmen and would have a flying base. His evil deeds would include: kidnapping innocent Pokemon and using them in experiments, which would be implied to be very lethal and would result in deaths of a lot of Pokemon, but he would not care if Pokemon would survive or not. He would be in partnership with various criminals, crime bosses, Pokemon Hunters and thieves and he would sell them kidnapped Pokemon and weapons for a large sum of money, but we would find out that he planned to eliminate his partners if they no longer would cooperate with him or they would not supply him with weapons or Pokemon or simply they were no longer useful for him, so he would attack his partners and destroy them all and would took over their business. His treatment of his henchmen would be despicable: if they would him or would be no longer useful he would kill them and would be follower of We Have Reserves mantra and would treat his own henchmen as expendable weapons, no matter whether thay fail him or not and would not care about them, not even a bit and his own ego would be more important to him . He fully believes that he deserves to rule Pokemon world and that Pokemon are his tools. He would abuse his own Pokemon and would experiment on them if they would fail him and it would be implied that he killed some of his Pokemon and henchmen. He would also Mind Rape captured Pokemon and would brainwash them and turn them into his personal killing machines He would also forcibly recruit Pokemon trainers against their will in his organization, if they would refuse he would kill them and use their Pokemon for his lethal experiments. He would attack entire cities and towns and would try to take over them. He would make citizens and innocent people surrender or else he would kill them and bombard entire cities and this would be his method of expanding his empire: attack any city, town or inhabited island, force innocent people to surrender or else he would kill them, bombard the entire town, city or island and anyone who would oppose him would be killed or their Pokemon would be used in experiments and would terrorize people in order to strike fear into their hearts. And on top of that he would build labour camps where citizens would work hard and extremely dangerous labour in harsh conditions and would be kept as prisoners and would be killed sooner or later. His goal to archieve world domination would be to kidnap a legendary Pokemon (and not just one) and he would use it in his plans. He would try to kidnap it, send his henchmen and his recruited bladers in order to capture and would not care for them and would only care to capture that Legendary Pokemon. He would succeed in doing so and we would see that he would torture captured legendary if it would make a and he would brainwash it and turn it into emotioneless killing machine and would use it to terrorize people, destroy entire towns and one of his most monstrous moments would be completely destroying the entire city with brainwashed legendary and attempting to kill a large number of citizens'' For the Evulz or simply to test his power. And since he would have a powerful legendary under his control, he would dispose all of his henchmes and followers since they are no longer useful. He would take over 95% of Unova and would use his legendary to strike fear into people's hearts, destroy entire cities and causing random destruction and would build an entire army of unfeeling killing Pokemon, which is made up of his own Pokemon,every Pokemon he stole, experimented and brainwashed and would use them to cause chaos. And when Ash would try to stop him, he would attempt to kill Ash and his friends and his Pokemon or use them in his lethal experiments. He would show no emotion, except cold sadism and Psychotic Smirk when he does evil things and would feel no remorse for it and would flat-out state that he only cares for power. He would suffer big karmic punishment: his Legendary Pokemon breaks free from his control and all the Pokemon he stole, experimented and brainwashed, including the legendary Pokemon, would destroy his base and would brutally attack him and almost killing him, his own henchmen would attack him for his cruel treatment towards them, Ash would beat him in Pokemon battle and his prisoners would break free from his camps. Since he would lose everything and would lose control of legendary Pokemon and being defeated, the villain will suffer villainous breakdown and will be put in maximum security prison, where other arrested criminals and henchmen would beat him to a pulp.

Forgetting all the above, Ghetsis will fill the role of resident Complete Monster.
And all the other villains that appear will be Affably Evil, too cool to fear or have standards. It would make Ghetsis all the more terrifying and horrible when there's nothing else to compare to him, ala Vile Villain Saccharine Show.
