Next Pokemon Thread VI: Unova Evolution/Capture/Release Speculation Arena

[Almighty Zard]

Torterra may need a win, but it had loads of wins as a Turtwig.

True but no one seems to care about it's wins as a Turtwig, like they didn't exist anymore once it evolved to Grotle and so forth.

Personally, I don't see the fascination with wanting pokemon who've done little to begin with to come back and attempt to be redeemed, cause unless they fought impressive opponents, then said redemption is pointless, though imho i believe that unless any of Ash's oaked guys have potential evos in the upcoming gen, they should focus on the pokemon who can actually get stuff done rather than the ones that can't.

[Joltik-Kid]

I want to see Ash use the olde rpokemon that did not get modified movesets during the Sinnoh League.

I think Snivy's more desperate, she's the only Unova Pokemon that didn't get any form of change to anything

Pretty sure that was reference to the flashback but you never know lol.

I'm waiting to see Ash's Kingler then :P

Well since we are going to Kanto, you might get your wish lol.

I don't want anymore older Pokemon to come back, as I've said before Satoshi has enough Pokemon on his plate right now and we got an older Pokemon return in Lizardon. I'd rather see Zuruggu, Tsutarja, Gamagaru. If Kenharou stays at the Okido-Hakase ranch then that means Satoshi has eight Isshu Pokemon on his team. Those three are the ones I feel need battle time and wins the most currently and the most likely ones to evolve.(Gamagaru has the highest chance imo) I'd rather Satoshi focus on them right now if anything, plus I like all three of their personalities and feel as though those three are starved for focus and wins at the moment. Said surplus of Pokemon have almost all hit their prime(Waruvial, Hahakomori, Chaobu, etc.) so I don't expect much more from them except maybe Chaobu becoming an Emboar. Not sure what to say about Tsutarja, she's a wildcard in the evolution department. She was shown to be a very capable Pokemon right from the start and had an already maxed out moveset.(Leaf Storm, Leaf Blade, etc. Two strong moves that it took previous Grass-types on Satoshi's team a while to learn.) I wouldn't be surprised if Tsutarja stays the way she is given that Tsutarja is mature and has always been mature and might be too snide to change herself just for the sake of being stronger. Tsutarja is one of the Pokemon, personality wise, I really enjoy about BW(Alongside Waruvial, Chaobu, Zuruggu, Kairyu, etc.) so it's a bit of a pity she has such a lesser amount of change over the whole series. I'm still glad that Pokabu at least managed to develop from the weak Pokemon he was in the beginning and pretty much went all beast mode after evolution.

Honestly people need to drop this older pokemon steal spotlight crap. Charizard has been here for like 2 episodes and people act like it is the only pokemon in the damn episode.

AS LONG AS PIKACHU, MIJUMARU, SCRAGGY, PIGNITE, AND SNIVY ARE ON THE SAME TEAM, NONE OF YOUR POKEMON WILL GET SCREEN TIME.

I never said such a thing at all, however there's a surplus problem when it comes to the group Pokemon already. I don't see how adding more is going to help that.

Yes but Charizard leaving isn't gonna make Palpitoad or Leavanny magically show up more. And we are not asking for him to rotate all his pokemon, however, older pokemon returning for an episode or too would be greatly appreciated....

Again, I never said a thing about Lizardon leaving, but throwing Bayleef and Kingler in rotation with this already immense clusterfuck of Pokemon on his team isn't ideal.

[Ash Ketchum!]

Well since we are going to Kanto, you might get your wish lol.

Wait, Ash and friends are heading to Kanto?!?

Did you even read what I wrote?? I don't even want pokemon permanently on the team. My whole point is that ALL the pokemon should be consistently rotated.

[harsh551]

does there is any chances for ash to get sebleye.....?

[_Taidow_]

Wait, Ash and friends are heading to Kanto?!?

They are heading to Kanto on via boat but are stopping by a region in between Kanto and Unova called the Dekorola Islands. I'm guessing it may be called the Dekorola Archipelago just like the Orange Islands were.

[TheSirPeras]

There are chances of him getting a Sableye but not the one in the movie poster (unless Ash were to catch him in the movie which wont happen)

He trying to say that they shouldn't be rotated at all. He wants just Unova pokemon becasue they need more screentime afterall its still their leg of the series.

[Lucario At Service]

What are the chances of Cilan catching a Tropius during the DA! arc.

Iris has a big ride-able flying type like Dragonite, while Charizard would fill the same role for Ash.

So the only one who doesn't have a flying type yet is Cilan. And since he is still due for his 2nd grass type (Iris got hers in the form of Dragonite), the perfect pokemon for him to capture would be a Tropius. Plus having a Tropius would be an profit for Cilan considering that one can eat the fruits that grow around Tropius neck. So, CIlan can use them in various of his recipes.

A good set for it would be ,

- Leaf Storm/Magical Leaf
- Gust
- Dragon Pulse
- Nature Power

He probably won't get one so the writers will have an excuse to not make the main characters move around quickly. Imagine if Ash had flied through Johto with Charizard, so many situations leading to fillers could've been avoided lololol. (not bashing fillers, I'm just saiyan)

But they could use the flying types to travel around the islands during DA!, similar to how they used Lapras during the Orange Island arc.

Also they wouldn't be using the flying a lot to travel around so that they wouldn't get tired. Also it would be obvious to give them time to rest from flying around (which means the group would be walking during that time).

[pokemonsquared]

Pokedex says dragonite can fly around the world. Charizard can also fly all the way from the valley to cerulean without getting tired.

You should never trust the Pokedex, a lot of stuff in there is junk. For example,

People that were licked by Haunter keeps shaking until they die. Misty got licked, and she didn't die

...

or did she

I hope Snivy gets an improved movepool. This is m wishlist

Snivy
- Attract
- Leaf Tornado
- Aqua Tail
- Twister

Because we all love how the writers go lazy and write off battles poorly via Attract.

And the writers go lazy, how? I know real laziness, so don't call them lazy. Maybe Snivy will get a new moveset, but this isn't a competive anime, so don't wxpect too much out of a complete overhual. Plus, I've used Attract in my game files, it really does help.
