So, by the way, guys, even though it's up to Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, Creatures and OLM, Inc. to decide on this, which of Ash's current and/or former official trained and/or bonded Pokémon from his original anime do you think are likely for his retconned anime? Why? Please let me know, thanks.😉
