They were good in battle at the cost of the rest of Ash's Kanto Pokémon getting way less chances to shine than they did. I'm still mad at how Kingler was denied a chance to participate in the Silver Conference in favor of the already overexposed Squirtle getting even more spotlight.
Me too but I'm not mad that Squirtle got the spotlight. I'd rather make Totodile be the injured one.
Sobble had some great development in only one (very recent) episode. And it's not finished.
He is not using reserves
Sceptile is not part of his current team. I personally don't see him getting Grookey, though.
Rillaboom is stronger
Ash should now join the league with a mixed team.
That is not happening.
They showed that Leon has Dragapult. The writers never like to show characters having the same Pokemon in battles, presumably cause it would be confusing.
Maybe it's because while Power-Up Punch may not be powerful on its own, it does give a guaranteed boost to attack, so it gets more powerful the more it's used. It's also incredibly deadly in the hands of a Mega Kangaskhan, which is honestly probably the whole reason that move's distribution was greatly reduced in the next generations.
Lucario isn't learning Blaze Kick since Cinderace knows it. And I doubt he will get a Hoenn starter.
Goh’s Cinderace knows Quick Attack and Ash’s Naganadel knew Thunderbolt. I don’t overlap is as big a factor as you think.
This actually reminds me of Oshawott. In B&W, Oshawott took interest in Ash and followed him around for the first few episodes, and whilst Ash couldn’t catch it at first, since it was owned by Professor Juniper, he eventually got it. Maybe, and I pray, that Professor Magnolia owns Grookey, so there’s a chance of Ash/Goh having it.
Grookey seems interested in Goh...
Yes! Grookey is simmlar to Oshawott! Both of them are underatted cute starters that have a playful personality! So maybe we have this 5-10 episode arc of it stalking Ash!
