Well this is becoming a popular thread, and there should be no reason why his shouldn't be. The fact that this could conclude the May's Return thread is good enough. Now we just have to see 1) If its actually true and 2) How long she will be staying. If James is right and she is finished with Johto and then stays with or around the group, you can kiss Contest and Pokeshipping goodbye.
I for one am hoping either that Eevee is sill Eevee or Espeon. While Leafeon or Glaceon would be supporting the new Sinnoh pokemon, it would be doubtful that they would become that in Johto.
Yay, I was able to steal my roommate's computer until I get my power cord back. Even if the "t" doesn't work all that well on this thing, its far better than no being able to access the internet a all. Especially with this coming up.

As much as I wish it, I don't think she'll stick with the group. Apparently she'll be in a couple of episodes. If she does become part of the series I think it will be as a recurring character (much like Paul, Kenny and Zoey) and rival to Dawn.

Thats what my gut feeling is telling me also, although I am wishing for her to actually stay with the group it just doesn't seem as likely. But even having an encounter with her every few episodes will still be far better than her staying all the way in Johto. Even more so if she comes alone (or at least without Drew). Just having her stay around Ash for another season would provide the chance for more hints.
Besides having her come back before Misty did (with the exception of her lure) will, as I've said before, make Pokeshippers very uneasy. If it was Misty that they were wanting to promote as a probable relationship then it would make more sense to have her come in for a few episodes first.
But we still have to be wary if this is false information. At least it's too early for this to be an April Fool's joke.

I doubted the information at first, but I'm not anymore. Several people on Pokeani (not the original poster) have confirmed seeing the same information in the same magazine, which is usually accurate. Also, Japan isn't very big on April Fool's Day from what I've heard, so...
Pokeshippers going nuts? You can say that again. Weedle McHairybug (biggest bashamo I've ever had the misfortune to meet online [on Wikipedia first, ironically enough]) is going stir-crazy on SPPF, saying that it's all fake because May is appearing before Misty (he still holds onto hope through that year-old blog by Misty's VA who said that she would be appearing; what he still seems to not be able to understand is that her VA was talking about hosting a special, not actually appearing in an episode).
But enough of my rant against Weedle.

I heard about that thing for Misty's return. Wasn't it just about some surprise appearance? I always thought that it was in reference to Misty's Lure.
But either way its good that it sounds like a true possibility. I just mentioned the April Fool's joke because there have been instances where they have used that before, although not for something like this.
I'm not trying to be pessimistic but its best to be careful until more information comes out. We can't start gloating over this just for it to end in the worst way. I'm hoping for this to be true just as much as everyone else here and even if it turns out to be false it should be entertaining just to watch the Poke and Conestshippers simmer with this fact. Most of them say that we aren't a threat for them, but their actions from this will say more than a thousand words ever could.

I find it unlikely that it is an April Fool joke. Bulbapedia has also made an official entry of this episode. I guess we weill find out when the first Wallace episode airs, because the preview for Haruka's return will appear at the very end. In other words, I can't wait for DP 075! That will be the real clincher!

Ahh, so Bulbapedia finally put up the episode. Well that takes care of almost all of my doubts. Now he problem is waiting a month for the episode, why must we be tortured so?

I not all hat sure about this... It's one of those (too good to be true) things, >.> They've never turned out to be true. Even if it dose happen, we'll just end up like the Pokeshippers when Misty came in A/G . Dissapointed. I'm guessing that the writes would just make them good freinds (Dawn and May). Shippy action would be most likely on the low especially after the writers (Ash will never fall in love) pact. I must ask tough, What's the context of her return  |

Shippy action would be most likely on the low especially after the writers (Ash will never fall in love) pact. I must ask though, What's the context of her return At the moment it looks just like Misty's return but thats about all the information that's out right now. It could be the episode that we have all been hoping for, or it could just be a bash like the Misty's return episodes. Either way we do have an edge on Pokeshippers with May coming back before Misty, and if there is no Drew mentioned in the episode then Contestshippers will be in a bit of a bust as well. But there is supposed to be a tag battle in this so there are really only three possible choices for May to team up with; Dawn, Wallace, and Ash. And if its the last one then there can be plenty of opportunities for shipping moments. Not to mention having both of them win a full course meal would satisfy both of their monstrous appetites so it wouldn't seem out of place for those two to team up. bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/DP076At least there will be more interaction between May and the new group with her and Dawn both being coordinators. So if May and Dawn hit it off nicely (witch they almost undoubtedly will), there will be a high chance of her returning yet again if she doesn't stay around Sinnoh. Misty returned just for the writers saying "we haven't forgotten about her." With May there can become yet another mentor can coach Dawn into becoming a good coordinator. Because lets face it, compared to May, she is pretty bad. She needs the coaching. |

^ Apparently the article that mentions May's return says Ash teams with Brock and Dawn teams with May. I haven't seen this article though...

That's what sucked when I read it. If ash and May would have teamed up then there may have been some shippyness, but noooooooooooo. That =  Sad Face The only plus that we have is that Drew isn't in it. HE may be mentioned (WARNING) Then there's the battle. With Ash seeming to suck out loud in D/P and the amount the writers seem to support coordinators IMO, I'm guessing who'll win. All we'll get is A huuuungry Ash. Personally I'm trying not to get exited about this. The Pokeshippers got exited, and what did they get. a lure bieing mentioned once. _ _ _ eps later. Rant over. Just sayin, The Ash will never fall in love pact conquers all. |

Just because they don't team up doesn't mean there isn't a chance for any form of shippyness. Then there's the battle. With Ash seeming to suck out loud in D/P and the amount the writers seem to support coordinators IMO, I'm guessing who'll win. Trust me, you have no idea what you're talking about if you are saying this and have not seen the Cobble Badge Gym Battle, Buizel versus Lucario was without a doubt one of his best battles ever. Personally I'm trying not to get exited about this. The Pokeshippers got exited, and what did they get. I agree, the more we think about it, the more we hype it up in our heads, the more we'll expect, the more we'll be disappointed if it doesn't happen the way we hope. Like Matkin said, we should just be happy May hasn't been ignored, she's being reintroduced. One thing I will say, there is a possibility for May to be recurring moreso than Misty. Misty is a Gym Leader, Gym Leaders are bound to their Gym, therefore cannot travel. May is a coordinator, which means she will be mobile and traveling a lot. So there is the chance she could become a recurring character, like Paul, Zoey and Kenny, and even become one of Dawn's major rivals. So whilst it's true Pokeshippers were disappointed in Misty's return, because she had to leave again, May is different and has the potential to recur throughout the series. PS> We know for a fact she won't be travelling with the group, guys. She is not in the Giratina film that will be out in July this year in Japan. But we can always hope she'll be recurring, it has a better chance of happening than her rejoining the main cast. |
