T'was a time where I would stop at nothing to let everyone know my distaste for Ash's lack of using his Kingler and Muk, Kingler hasn't even been used since the Whirl Islands and had an embarrasing exit to the Johto league before he'd even battled. Muk at least got to be used in the league but didn't get a single win whereas Charizard got three wins in the same match.
Now I know the attempts at their return are nothing but futile cries. Kingler's pretty much been replaced with Corphish, a much more potent battler than itself despite winning a round all by itself (which was bad writing anyway). Muk has been reduced to smothering Oak everytime Oak is seen (hey, at least he gets some screentime). Soon enough they'll resort to playing poker in a back alley for their only means of entertainment.
