Ok, being a fan of the Pokemon series for quite some time(since like forever), I've always found these 3 to be particularly interesting from a show and fanbase standpoint.
Charizard, starts off as a cute, friendly Charmander, only to become an angered, but short lived, Charmeleon, and then hot-headed Charizard, which through some development and battles, became one of Ash's signature Pokemon.
Sceptile, from losing against a Seviper as a Treeko, to beating an Altaria as a Grovyle, to actually taking out a Darkrai once it reached its final form, one can say that it has a pretty good track record.
Infernape, probably Ash's pokemon with an actual story, went from being an adorable, yet mistreated Chimchar under Paul, but then found happiness with Ash, then helped him out a bit in a battle against Paul, which eventually helped him evolve into Monferno, then ultimately in front of Paul again, evolved into Infernape through rage, and ended up taking Paul's Electivire out in the League.
What I'm curious to find out about is, if others feel that their screentime or them as a whole pokemon themself was rightly justified, overrated, or misunderstood, in a sense of not seen the right way by the writers or the fanbase. They don't necessarily have to be your favorites, but would you call them the writers favorites, or Ash's strongest Pokemon currently.
IMO, all 3 were rightly justified.
