Did the manga specifically say that Gon couldn't relearn nen after he had lost it? If so, although it would set him back, he could regain his power. Just a thought.

<p>If you think about it deeply, Gon really didn't lose his Nen per se.
He just lost the ability to "use" it. Remember what Killua wished for? 
He wished Gon to return <em>back to normal</em>. But what is normal?</p>

<p>It is heavily implied that Gon's Nen pores are just back to normal again.
Even his dad had said, that he became "<em>normal</em>" and whether he wants to or
not is up to him.</p>

<p>Gon just has to re-learn Nen again, the way Wing forcefully opened his Nen pores or the natural way.</p>

<p>The main problem here is the wish. That aura spread too far and that wish is 
too powerful. I wonder who's gonna suffer.... ;)</p>

<p>I agree with Shan Coralde, that Killua was just dumb about the command he gave nanika, and should have been smarter about it, as returning gon to normal would mean normal like everyone else. Normal could also be implied as not having the same potential and growth rate he previously had, as that was extremely unnatural</p>

<p>I think Gon will end up tracking down and joining the Phantom Troupe in order to regain the ability to use nen again. Also his nen category will probably change in the process. He may end up becoming a Conjurer or a Specialist. </p>
