Was Palpitoad being captured a mistake?

Boldore is random and affectionate. It is interesting see a Pokemon without facial expressions try to do something.
They really should have kept Paplitoad's personality. It could have easily made him entertaining. They better show it in the league.

Palpitoad showed it's original personality in the 8th gym at least, he seemed very confident and like a tough guy. They have yet to show Palpitoad in a non battle situation so we don't really know if it would act like before yet.

Because that Pokemon you find after the eighth badge, in the other side of Unova, we are not waiting that long.

You can find a wild blastoise in sinnoh, i'm sure if the writers wanted they could have placed a rufflett somewhere in route 2..

That still would not make sense. How would you explain a Pokemon far off in the Pokedex and Ash getting it in the beginning, that's bad as him getting a Meinfoo early in the series.

@Ace I know that, but how would you explain Braviry getting a early appearance adding yet another Unova Pokemon on the not focus until later on?

Now thati seen this thread, I Realise how little our toad friend got in terms of screen time. I hate to admit this but I LOVE Hahakomori. And why am I typing in JP? I absolutely adore Leavanny's cry in JP, especially Kurumiru's. But yeah, some of the backups are heavily shafted: Leavanny, Boldore, Palpitoad and Unfezant.

I like Palpitoad, but he was heavily shafted. He took part in Elesa's Gym... And got owned by Emonga... ~_~. And then smart Ash had to use The ever Overrated Pikachu to win it. Seriously?

I love Ash's Unova Team, not as close to Sinnoh, but its just that some many screen time are lacking. Pokemon like Pikachu and Oshawott stealing Screentime, and to a lesser extent, Snivy. I want to see the reserves more often. But I feel kinda disappointed this arc, how poorly they treated the reserves

But no Palpitoad probably isn't accidental

Kenhallow's design isn't that bad.
If only Satoshi had caught a male one:

I'm so glad he captured a female one, that mask is ridiculous.

No.

The mask is fabulous.

[AceDetective]

No.

The mask is fabulous.

matter of opinion. Personally I think its ridiculous and if Ashs unfezant was male it would be my least favourite pokemon he ever captured

Oh hush already -_-, Braviary is a Fearow knock off.

Uh what? xD Honchkrow is a Fearow knock off.. :P xD

[1rkhachatryan]

Oh please a big brutish bird is pretty much Fearow. Plus they have the similar evolution families lol.

[pokemonsquared]

If only Ash could have caught a sigilyph instead.... That would have been cool.

[ShinyCharyZard]

Oh dear, is this what this threads come down to? Calling Pokemon knock offs of other Pokemon? Wishing that Ash had caught certain Pokemon instead of others?

Here I thought it was a Palpitoad discussion thread..

[Groundedshock]

Agreed. Besides how would have Ash captured Attract Snivy? Unfezant played a HUGE ROLE in that. Something the ALL MALE eagle would not have done.

[Thriller]

Palpitoad is probably going to evolve in its next appearance, giving Ash another Powerhouse.

Hopefully he will be the next Kingler/Glalie/maybe but unlikely Charizard hybrid of Ash's team.

The male Kenhallow could be gay.
