Chimchar's Future

S

SUPERSTARZZ

The Cool Pip!
Many of you in this forum surely hate the biggest plot twist of the DP saga --- Ash getting Paul's Chimchar. And, many of you believe as well that Chimchar has lost its personality and have much less screentime since Ash captured it.

What do you think will happen to Chimmyboy? (or Chimmygirl, whatever)

I predict that it will evolve all the way into an Infernape, and after the Sinnoh league, and Ash becomes the tournament champion (of course, beating Paul in the finals) Infernape will reflect for some time and decides to go back to Paul, which Paul accepts knowing that Infernape is even stronger than his strongest Pokemon, Torterra. Though I know that Paul will remain the way he is now, I believe his "hell" attitude will be lessened a bit because Infernape (and Ash) taught him a lot of lessons.
 
I really don't know what to think personally, I liked it at first, but after how poorly it was handled in the Veilstone gym I'm not so sure it has a good future anymore, and before anyone jumps on me, yes it did not have to take Lucario down, but it should've at least beaten something.

I'm also dispointed all that training it had under paul is "gone" and it's getting worse as time goes by, seriously if it doesn't evolve soon(i'm giving it till gym 5 at max, if they wait any longer they may as well not even do it since it won't likely evolve again in time for the league) or do something to turn it's current path around then I will give up on it completely.

It doesn't help any that the next gym leader is a water type trainer, I know Types don't matter in the anime, but I highly doubt Ash would use Chimchar in that gym match, though I see Staravia, Gligar/Gliscor, and Chimchar in the gym match against Fantina, and Possibly Chimchar will be in a battle against Byron.
 
i think the will do an episode where both chimchar and turtwig evolve (which will finally mean that 2 starter pokemon belonging to ash actually evolve )

i mean come on squirtle bulbasaur cyndaquil and totodyl there evos are all ssssooo cool
 
If any of the 2 starters will evolve it will be Turtwig as the grass types (apart from bulbasaur) have evolved atleast once or twice in Treeko's case.

As for chimchar it could evolve quickly like Charmander did or could stay like Cyndaquil.
 
I think Chimchar is going to evolve all the way to Infernape and have a final battle with Paul's Torterra. Of course, Infernape will win and Paul will come to his senses and see that the training doesn't have to be harsh only and you need love (such a cliché). But mm, yeah, something like that. But the evolution of Chimchar possibly takes place pretty late, so I can see Turtwig and other Pokémon evolving before it.
 
chimchar is at higher level compared to turtwig due to his harsh training so it may evolve before turtwig but if they both evolve in same episode it will be cool.
 
It's sad to see Chimchar with Ash. It was fine with Paul/The wild. But now, since it's with Ash, it will probably evolve completely. I don't need to say more, really, because, like, that's its future.
 
Personally, I hope it starts to demonstrate some "Paul" mannerisms, and attacks Pikachu, or one of Ash's other pokemon. That would then cause Ash to throw it out in anger, and itll get neglected by a bypassing Paul.
 
I have a feeling chimchar will rot in his pokeball. Though i really hope he makes it to Infernape the chances look slim now. It had a horrible battle against Machoke.
 
I love that cute little thing. I have a feeling it will evolve all the way to Infernape and crush Paul in the Sinnoh league.

But I don't see it going back to Paul.

Ultimately, it shall have the same fate as Sceptile did, OAK!


I think all of Ash's Pokemon will get some good screentime.
 
Chimchar simply has literally no chance of being Infernape if Flint makes an appearance.
 
^ Yet Ash catches a Gligar, who then evolves into Gliscor, with the knowledge that Paul owns one as well.

But yeah, Chimchar did horribly in the last gym, however, I consider it Staravia's redemption since it didn't really have a shining moment beforehand as well. I'm just giving it more time, if they were able to make the 'Turtwig learning Energy Ball' scenario a little interesting, they can (well, I hope) do the same for Chimchar. I'd say at least let it be the one to evolve after Gligar.

I'm hoping Chimchar gets to sweep the Steel Gym. If it evolves to Monferno in the mean time, so much the better.

if it hasnt reached monferno by the steel gym, its pretty much bye-bye for infernape till either a filler saga or whatever. they cant do what they did with charizard and have it evolve twice in a few episodes, unless it evolves again in a battle against paul, thats how i see things happening.

Are you kidding me? Ash only had three evo's total in hoenn, and Torkoal couldn't evolve.

The problem is though it's lose lose in that aspect because if they do end up pulling a second Charizard with it evo wise, given the similarities already between the two, there would be much complaining about how they are too similar to each other.

I'm kinda doubtful they'll do it though.
 
Ash's Hoenn team, aside from Pika and Corphish, all reached their final stages if I am not mistaken.(With the exception of Pika of course)

Treecko became Sceptile, Tailow became Swellow, Snorunt became Glailie, and Torkoal couldn't evolve.

So it is not unreasonable to assume that the same wouldn't be true for Sinnoh. I predict that Turtwig will get to Grotle but not Torterra. Staravia will evolve eventually, as will Buizel and Chimchar. We already know that Gligar will evolve and IF he gets a Riolu(Dont shoot), it will more than likely evolve a few years in the future.

The only time Ash's Pokemon never evolved was in Johto.
