Hello!
I've been doing some additions to the YMMV page on the series, covering a few things that hadn't been up there before, like the 51 Great Class Still and the stretches of time that paint Goh the worst. I want to add to this with the ever present 'a Pokemon X should have caught argument' (IE stuff like Stantler, Houndour, etc) but with a plot focus.
As I've noticed a few episodes do tease the idea of Ash catching a mon and setting it up, but they don't follow through.
(As an example, Goh talked about Ash earning a Hitmonlee alongside Goh's Hitmonchan and trading them for both. That just....that was said, that wasn't followed up on, etc etc)
Curious for other examples of this in the series beyond two other, less major examples I can think of. By less major I recall the Bug Catching and Collossus ruins teasing Ash doing catches as well, though I do feel they are lesser examples as they weren't necessarily weaker for it and it wasn't set up as well.
I can do the eidt with just the Hitmon example but if there are any other examples that exist I'd like to include them.
