What Pokemon would he have? Serperior, Samurott, Emboar, Volcarona? Hydreigon? Zoroark?

Good question...we don't really have precedent for him other than the usual 3 starters and MAYBE the possibility of Reshiram or Zekrom.
Considering N keeps his legendary dragon, Black should keep his. Probably gonna look like:
Reshiram / Zekrom
Serperior
Emboar
Samurott
Zoroark
Volcarona
I know, three Fire-types. But hey, who cares. Blue had three Flying-types in RB (if he had a Charizard (+ Gyarados + Pidgeot)), so it's not that impossible.

I don't see why he would have all 3 starters. He only grabbed one, Bianca and Cheren got the others. Instead of 2 starters, he would have a Simi and a Liligant/Darmanitan/Jellicent or something.
Red's team consisted of the box Pokemon and 2 Pokemon you'd get on your journey (min 1 Snorlax that gets in your way, the Lapras given to you in Silph Co.; Espeon probably came from the Eevee you just sort of find in Celadon) because he represented Gen 1 as a whole.
Hilbert/Hilda don't really have that? I bet we see them but never see their Pokemon beyond the box dragon, sadly. Uhhh unless the other gender is still in the battle subway of course.

I was thinking the Same thing. In BW2 One of the Sages says nobody has heard from N. I'm bummed that He Might not come back(He was my favorite rival). If The BW1 Protagonist is Fightable Than I'll definetly get the Game. I'm still on the Fence on getting it though.
Keldeo, Meloetta, GenEsect shouldn't count as new additions to BW2
Im leaning more towards a N final battle. You find him at some mountain to which the final battle commences. He'll use the opposite legendary and it should be in the 80's range(like red)
If you think about it, its more suitable. No one seen him for 2 years though he might have more of a story role.

Im expecting a Red style battle with N or BW protagonist but on their final teams, I wouldn't be surprised though if N or the past protagonist let their dragon go. Reason being is the third games have always allowed you to catch the 2 mascots from previous games and because this is a direct sequel, that seems like the only way to get at least one of them.
I'd Have to agree, It would make sense that none of the Sages have heard from Him. I'd really hope you could battle him or someone signifigant like BW1's protagonist.
You know, that's actually interesting. What if his team changes based on both your starter and the game you're playing? It could look something like this:
Based on starter:
Serperior/Emboar/Samurott
Simipour/Simisage/Simisear
Darmanitan/Jellicent/Ferrothorn (or Chandelure/Seismitoad/Leavanny?)
Based on game:
Reshiram/Zekrom
Gothitelle/Reuniclus
Mandibuzz/Braviary
That's 9 possible teams he could have, which would be really interesting. I think this looks more plausible than any other speculations so far.
Other than the fact that N's more closely related to Team Plasma than being your rival, I just hope that we're not forced to fight ol' 'bert when some of us played through the game as Hilda.
As interesting as something like this is, they'll probably cop-out with a team of Serperior/Emboar/Samurott/Dragon/filler/filler.
Thinking about it, there's not a lot of Gift Pokémon in Black/White, is there? I guess the last two slots could be Zoroark and Volcarona, since those are the only non-Starter dependant Gift Pokémon in those games. Thought I'd honestly prefer the Goth/Reuni and Mandi/Brav thing above.
[Reshiram/Zekrom]
[Leavanny/Ferrothorn/Sawsbuck]
[Darmanitan/Chandelure/Volcarona]
[Jellicent/Seismitoad/Alomomola]
Sigilyph
Stunfisk
The obvious dragon, a FWG core without starters (which still depends on the starter you chose), a Flying pokémon because even NPCs know Fly is an essential HM (seriously, is there a Rival with no Flying pokémon?), and the god of Pokémon.
Swag.

Bianca, despite having the Fly HM, does not have a Pokemon that uses Fly.
This is probably why it took her so long to get to Striaton.
Why would she need Fly when the Shadow Triad can teleport at will
He has mysterious ways to get things. He'll probably be back, I'm sure. Or other people will enact Ghetsis's vengeance for him. He had the Grisious Orb too. Makes you think that Ghetsis and Cyrus might have known each other. Or Ghetsis originated from Sinnoh, perhaps?
Old post, but...
There is a third option though: the anime creates their own version of Opelucid, which in no way resembles either of the in-game versions. Them changing a town to that degree wouldn't exactly be without precedent either. There was no reason Pacfidlog really needed to be visited in the anime (or rather, why the town as shown actually needed to be called Pacfidlog and wasn't made into some anime-only town) as there's no Gyms, Contest Halls, or anything of consequence period there in the games, but yet they added it in anyway, redesigned it, and even had May get a Ribbon there. So you never really can say for sure with this type of thing.Opelucid's design is different between Black and White Version. In Black Version, it's a technological city that's forgotten it's past to strive for a brighter future. The only old building in the city is the Gym, and it looks like they're about to remodel that, too. (As far as I recall, I played White Version. Speaking of...).
In White Version, Opelucid is a town that honors the past so much that it hasn't changed much since ancient times. All the buildings are in an old style.
If the Anime went there, they'd have to pick one of the two designs, putting Ash in whatever version that reflected. No Opelucid? No problem.
EDIT: Crap, Ninja'd while I added pictures and stuff...
I can probably see N being like a secret boss or something in the World Tournament.
And I also read somewhere on TV Tropes that Giovanni killed himself after the battle with him in HGSS, why is he here again?

True, but that'd just be lazy and uninteresting. "Which version is Ash in? He's in Grey!" "But there is no Gr-" "SHUT UP, BRAT!"
Because he didn't really die, I'd assume. When he loses to the player in HGSS, he leaves the cave and you hear a splash outside with the waterfall. People just kinda assumed he jumped down and offed himself, but I guess he was just tactically retreating.
The only person to get the orbs was supposed to be the protagonist of the DPP series. So maybe, just maybe, he grew out his hair, changed his name to Ghetsis, stole Vegeta's scouter and created team plasma. Somewhat of a long-shot though....
