Has it been confirmed that the league goes straight into a knockout format, cos maybe they do some kind of group stage where it's 1v1 and kotetsu gambles with Hydreigon

No no I'm pretty sure it's not what you're talking about, although I have no idea what you just said.

In the johto league, ash was in a group of 3 early on in the tournament and the winner of each group progressed

Oh no, that isn't happening here. This is the actual league, don't worry.

That idea was so bad that I refuse to watch those certain episodes during the Johto league. Never again should that be done.

Really, I didn't see what was wrong with it?

I liked it, specially since it gives an oportunity for the main character to lose to someone without getting kicked out but thats just me.

Progression wise I think it weeds out the weak trainers easier, because a lot of people would have to figth the same guys and only the best pass, unlike a tournament draw where you can get an easier oponent like Belle instead of Kenyan for example.

What are the chances of Ash vs Kotetsu being rushed?

Well if the 6vs6 isn't the full episode or two episode like others have been, it will probably be rushed, I would like to see Hydreigon being the cliffhanger of the episode and the battle continuing in the episode after, making it two episodes.

[Zweilous]

I can't believe Bel loses to Kotetsu! That's a sexist move, writers!

If Hydreigon KO's one Pokemon after another, then yea it might be.

[Papousse]

In games, Hydreigon isn't difficult at all, like Iris's one in Black and White 2. I do not expect of it more KO than the others.

Considering this will probably be the only other full-battle outside of Virgil, let's hope the writers take their time and don't make it a bunch of OHKO's...

Depends what you'd consider "rushed". I don't see it happening. If anything, the battle would start in Stephan's episode and probably end in this one, or it can start here and end in the next episode. I'm pretty sure it's going to be covered in two episode one way or another, I don't see the entire battling being dealt with in one episode.

There are 5 episodes before 2012 ends.

#1 is the intro ep
#2 is Ash vs Trip
#3 is Kibago get lost
#4 is Ash vs Stephan
#5 is Hydreigon

I could see Ash vs stephan lasting half an ep and kotetsu getting 1.5 eps for his battle then Virgil gets 2 more to close off the league.

Just a minor correction... Ash couldn't lose in the Johto formal otherwise the trio of trainers would of had to go to SD. At worst Ash can only tie.

[Doryuzu]

Well, the Shooti VS. Satoshi battle is being given two episodes and is beginning in the premiere episode of the league so it seems like they're trying to take their time. And that's a 1 VS. 1 battle, if we're lucky we'll get to see a battle from another character perhaps. The third episode in which Iris' Kibago goes astray will probably evolve something or give something a new move and then have Satoshi and Kenyan starting the battle. The next ep would be devoted to the battle and than ending it with Kotetsu and Bel battling and Kotetsu winning.

Or nothing important could happen...

If it's a 6 vs. 6, we'll already know what one of Ash's Pokemon is. Would it be too much trouble for Ash to simply have Iris hold on to Pikachu's Poke Ball so that he can use a different sixth Pokemon? It's not like she or Cilan are ever going to keep full parties with them at all times.

Let's be honest with ourselves... Ash vs Gary was likely a one time deal
