Hi guys I'm just loving this site so much! Well enough about me, let's get down to the good stuff.
There was an episode where Ash makes a reference to Dawn's Piplup, where he says, "Pikachu and I know a piplup that's really something else."
Now I don't know about you guys, but obviously he was talking about Dawn's piplup. So it means he still remembers her. Could that be a hint of anything? I, personally, think that it could be a hint to another return of Dawn (cuz no one wants to see the other girl Iris! -_-), but I could be wrong. I mean we're already halfway into the other season. If Dawn returns, it would be amazing. I would like to see two similar girls who almost have everything in common interact. They could be sisters. I'd also love to see what Serena's reaction would be when Ash and Dawn high five each other.

I'd also love to see what Serena's reaction would be when Ash and Dawn high five each other. I would love to see Dawn in XY for the sole reason of her meeting with Ash again. She would fit in the Kalos region like a hand in a glove! But her return may not be likely. Here's the thing with the Piplup reference. People might say that Piplup is not the same thing as Dawn, so just because Ash remembers Piplup doesn't mean he referenced her. In other words, some might say Ash has to mention Dawn directly in order for it to mean something.

Come on, he was OBVIOUSLY referring to her. What other piplup does he know so well? If not referring to Dawn directly, I would think this is the best way he can refer to her.

That 10-20 seconds gotta be a reference for something; there must have been a reason it was put there- *remembers the misty lure in DP* Wait a minute...

shpeeNo, the Piplup is clearly Dawn's. When Ash said "that's really something else", he was referring to a Piplup with that level of "rudeness". The "something else" part also shows that the Piplup is different compared to others; most Piplups are nice but Dawn's Piplup is "mean". Yes other trainers in the show had Piplups, and Dawn's Piplup is clearly the one he would remember the most. The real question is whether the Piplup reference means that Ash holds Dawn close to his memory just like her Piplup.

NovaStorm or it's just something the writers put in because they didn't know what to do with that scene

Thank you, NovaStorm! Ash knows Dawn's piplup the most, so of course he was talking about her piplup. And Dawn's piplup is more of a spoilt brat.

NovaStorm or it's just something the writers put in because they didn't know what to do with that scene I think that's out of the question - they did know what to do with that scene. They were clearly aware of Piplup's Japanese popularity when they showed them in the episode. In fact, I think they knew Piplup was the perfect Pokémon to showcase in an aquarium episode of all places. The beginning of the episode was to show water Pokémon of all kinds, so it makes sense. They intentionally put the Piplup reference in.

And it further proves that he did talk about Dawn's piplup because before Ash said that, Serena mentioned how piplup are really friendly. Then Ash says that he knows of a piplup that's 'really something else'. So knowing piplup and its stubborn and proud behaviour, its rather evident that he indeed was referring to Dawn's piplup.
