I guessing this isn't goodbye forever Dan, but I could be wrong. I think it's just an season "leave of absence." Just like Brock did. And like Tracy, I'm guessing Kimi will leave at the end of season and Misty will join back up. You're right about the original starters though. Never can replace them. Although this new grass starter looks pretty cool and he's most likely the one I'm going to pick. Being it that I always choose grass as my starter, well, except for Yellow version. I wonder what that new Professor's name is English? Following the names of the old professors, it's gotta be the name of a type of tree like oak and elm. Maybe it will be Pine!
