Hmm... I do agree, Ash captured his Pokemon fast, but remember, he started with two. I wish instead of immediately after getting Chimchar, they would've hown more foreshadowing of the Aipom and Buizel trade. Or not done it...
Anyways, Dawn's was rushed. Ok, Piplup, Buneary, Pachirisu, duh. But then she caught Buizel soon ater Pachirisu. Or was it Pachi soon after Buneary...? Oh well. I', glad it was her who got Swinub and not Brock I guess, but really, i I could've, maybe it ould've gone to James... Or if Ash hadn't had six Pokes, Ash. But, yeah.
I love Gliscor and Chimchar. Ash's getting of Chimchar made Chimchar my favorite starter and my pick in Pearl. Gliscor's evo was rushed, but yeah.
