Yes, clearly a horrible battle. It's complete BS that they would give the spotlight to, y'know, the titular Pokemon. Yes, yes. And horrible that they gave it a chance to shine since it hasn't been in any gym battles yet. That makes no sense. Everyone knows that Satoshi has used Buoysel in a bunch of Battles. He's been seeing way too much face time.
Clearly Gligar was screwed out of its win. WTF, they should've used him! He's a flying type! This is a prefect gym to show his POWAA. They completely neglected the poor gargoyle. I hate that damn weasel! How dare he get a chance to shine![/sarcasm]
If you know me, it's not just Chimchar. That rant was
way toned down from what I originally wanted to say. It's just that was the straw that broke the camels back, but I've been disliking Buizel for a long time now. Since even before the trade. They've seemed to do everything in their power to make me hate it, but saying all that would go way off topic.
Besides I couldn't give a darn about the time Chimchar was with Shinji anyway because it was just a waste like Buizel and Dawn in the end.
And what the heck you talking about Gligar for, besides your obvious sarcasm. >>
BTW I never said the battle was horrible, I just wish someone else would have gotten it. And I knew the title of the episode and what was probably going to happen, I'm not an idiot.
Neither had Buizel, in fact Ash has been training Chimchar far more than Buizel. I'm surprised that Ash even used Buizel to be honest (before the dub title was even announced) and besides Buizel needed it more than Chimchar, since this was Buizel's first gym battle...Period, and major first match. Heck Buizel didn't do squat until Ash used it against Maylene. Chimchar has been in a lot of battles, he at least battled Roark, and he had multiple battles in the tag battle Arc.
I should have put more into that rant, but it just would have been more hate for Buizel right then. Anyway I like Chimchar and that battle did nothing more for it than prove Shinji right. He creamed Lucario with his new Fire type remember? It just made it look like Chimchar was as weak as he said and that Ash shouldn't have even bothered to help it and he was right in dumping it.
That and Ash has plenty of Water type Pokemon, and his Fire and Fighting types have been screwed over. As far as Fire types go they've all been screwed over for Charizard. Cyndaquil didn't evolve, and Torkoal didn't do much and got dumped. And as for the Fighting types just look at Primeape and Heracross, Chimchar's evos are the first chance at some redemption for them.
And I wanted it to do well against Lucario, but that didn't happen.
And it's not so much Chimchar that annoys me and makes me not like Buizel, I dislike Buizel for plenty of other things. But yes I have a right a to dislike it.
