So Ash is getting Pokabu? He might as well just get Tsutjara too, now that we're going back to Kanto. I'm stoked for Best Wishes, but seriously? I am seeing a problem with Ash getting two starters, maybe even three, if that is even confirmed?
They can't handle two starters, just look at Turtwig and Chimchar. I won't say Turtwig was handled terrible, but Chimchar was basically the star on that team, overshadowing poor Turtwig. Just look at Kanto and Johto. Totodille was crap in Johto, and Charizard was the almighty god of Kanto, and Charizard was not treated in the same level as Squirte and Bulbasaur. Not that is a problem, since I like Charizard.
Anywho, I was actually hoping for Ash to get Baippu, the Fire Monkey. Cuz they could follow the games and give that to him. Then again, I'm sick of monkeys. Doesn't help that out of the two monkeys in Sinnoh, my favorite (Aipom) leaves and the other one (Chimchar) takes the spotlight.
