So Bulbasaur is slightly less useful than Squirtle, but consider it has been in more battles and stuck with Ash for longer. I imagine that there's a slight bit of resentment from the proud Pokémon that it never got to test its skills against Squirtle, and sees Squirtle as taking the easy way out. Calm indignation, but respect for the other fighter and one of Ash's original party. Sort of like a Vegeta and Goku situation
why don’t they evolve?
Bulbasaur is still to this day the de facto leader of Ash's Pokemon at Oak's.
Does Ash ever visit his old pokemon
does he just catch them, move to a new region, then leave them to rot in his PC?
Probably the same reason ash hasn't aged a day
I grew out of Pokemon after just a year or two. It fascinates me that there are men my age still obsessed with it.
but some of his pokémon evolve yet his two early caught seasoned boys with tons of xp don’t
It is. Bulbasaur's protective but assertive nature that it used to wrangle the Pokémon in the Hidden Village is put to great use at Oak's lab.
In the earlier seasons Ash would occasionally switch out which Pokémon he was using on hand at any given time. As he progresses through the region and earns all the badges, he would then visit Oak's lab to prepare and choose the best possible team to challenge the Pokémon League. He's done this every single region, however in Kalos he decided to only use the Pokémon he caught in that region with the exception of Pikachu for some reason. As for Alola it doesn't center around Ash traveling the region looking for badges, we have no idea what's going to happen in the end. Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charizard do return to Ash's side more often than any other Pokémon though. He called on Bulbasaur to settle a dispute in a fairly recent episode
>ash STILL has a bulbasaur and a squirtle instead of their final evolutions
why doesnt nintendo allows for progression?
I wish those two evolved along with charmander. Total homies in base form, then absolute chillin between chameleon ivysaur and wartortle. Ash is a pleb
Bulbasaur in specific does not want to evolve out of pride. Squirtle is the only Pokémon out of Ash's original 6 that has neither evolved, nor gotten the opportunity to evolve and refused.
what would their team be?
Based Kingler my favourit pokemans
I miss handdrawn backgrounds in animation
Shuckle
Gen 3 was the last good pokemon fight me nigger
>greninja gets a bullshit hyper-form based on the power of friendship
>still has a lower win percentage than a mere crab
name a bigger jobber in media
made me wonder, how do games justify the fact that starters are never found in the wild?
what about the anime, are there wild starters? I remember the squirtle squad but that wasn't really a wild appearance
currently Sneedsel
Nothing to fight about. You are completely right
Really the whole series, but this scene specifically from End of Evangelion
It took him years to finally evolve his cyndaquil
They generally like to focus on 1 "cool" fully evolved Pokemon for Ash while filling up the cast with as many unevolved cutemons as possible. I guess the idea is that cool things become less cool if they have to share the spotlight, while more cute things means more plushies for people to collect.
Both have stated that they're simply exceedingly rare.
Lets make the Ash dream team:
>Infernape - Fire/Fighting (Charizard is also an option but fighting is more useful than flying)
>Greninja/Kingler - Water or whatever it feels like being/ Water
>Krookodile - Ground/Dark
>Pikachu - Electric
>Swellow - Normal/Flying
>Bulbasaur - Grass/Poison
