*THIS is NOT about what pokemon Brock should get next*
Brock has only gotten one starter ever, Mudkip-->Marshtomp. I feel that it was miss managed horribly, partly because of Sceptile(as well as some of the other pokemon on Ash's team) and May's contests. Also, the term "Mudkipz" comes to mind as another possible reason why we didnt see 'Tomp showcased after its evo.
I really dont think that the writers could handle Brock doing anything but being a parent/guide, and occasionally expanding on his breeder aspect. More so if the female lead and Ash's starters are going to go head to head like Tile and Blaziken.
Could you imagine Swampert on Brock's team? OMFG there would be a decent reason to have him around from time to time. It would have been a nice complement to Steelix, I might add.
I know that one dude in the Battle Frontier had a Swampert, but he could have been given something else, no? Also i didnt factor in Pikachu overshadowing anything because the writers automatically focus on him. I also realize that the Tile/Blaziken rivalry came out towards the end of the whole Hoenn saga, but the story line expanding time for 'Tomp was over by then.
ya
