Who's Ash's most neglected/undertrained pokemon?

[Blink182]

Butterfree it was sad to see him let it go

 

[Dralcax]

Charizard. He used him frequently but did not properly train him, instead spoiling him. This caused obedience issues later on.

 

[Caitlin]

Haunter. The poor thing had no character development and was given away to a creepy girl with a case of the giggles.

Although he wasn't technically captured, so... take it as you will.

 

[WatcherMark]

Gamagaru easily... in fact, I'd say it's one of Satoshi's most neglected Pokemon ever and definitely his most in his Isshu team. He's never been seen training, or even spending time with it, since he captured it. In fact, in all the time since Gamagaru's capture he's only called on him four times and all of those were for battles.

I have hated many aspects of BW, but the worst is in the treatment of the Pokemon belonging to the main cast. In D&P, the Pokemon were treated as if they were real. Their trainers spent training and quality time with them. They would often let them out of their Poke Balls for meals or sometimes to sleep outside. Each one had a distinct personality and they all got decent screen-time.

In BW, there's none of that. Half the Pokemon have no real personality, Satoshi's reserves spend dozens of episodes without appearing, sometime's the gang can sit down for a meal and it seems only certain Pokemon are allowed the luxury of a meal (take a recent episode when the gang say down to eat and the starters/cute Pokemon got to come out of their Poke Balls while one of Satoshi's Pokemon, Iris's Doryuzu and Kairyu and Dent's Iwapalace and Maggyo were seemingly left to go hungry... hell, Iris's Doryuzu seemingly spent weeks inside its ball before she sent it out to fight Pendror).

 

[Emrye]

Cyndaquil. I never saw much of it unless it was protecting Ash.

 

[Force Fire]

a majority of Ash's unevolved Pokémon for sure. Kingler, unless it is still hurt from the voltorb incident at the Silver conference, then we have a reason *shot*. And finally, Tauros number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30.

 

[AlphaMouse]

Palpitoad and Kingler, definitel.

 

[Chaosblazer]

Torkoal...why did he even catch the thing if it was just gonna be dead weight.

 

[Bellossom]

Muk, Kingler, and TAUROS!

 

[Ampharos King]

Muk. It had only been used in three battles over the course of 750+ episodes.

 

[Ash Ketchum!]

Muk. It had only been used in three battles over the course of 750+ episodes.

And to top it off, has only won one of them.

 

[Gengarzilla]

Muk. It had only been used in three battles over the course of 750+ episodes.

And to top it off, has only won one of them.

Well, if Ash Ketchum has said right here that his Muk is bad, then I'm going to agree. I really think that Torkoal and Palpitoad will need more attention too.

 

[Dralcax]

Boldore does seem a bit neglected... Ash used it in like what, eight episodes?

 

[Little Miss Eevee]

His 30 Tauros.
