is it time

[zapdos1234]

does any one else think that it is time for ash to stop catching the grass starters I mean give someone else a turn

 

[~Goth~]

Yeah,I'm sick of the grass starters too...whats so special about them?'___'


but I believe that in the next gen Ash will have a fully evolved WATER starter & the next girl will get the grass one^__^

It depends on what the pokemon are like i surpose. I guess in Hoenn they chose Treeko for Ash as it was the most manly starter cus the others look a bit girly, while Torchick is more girly then Mudkip, so they gave it to May.
As Ash had a fully evolved fire and grass type, i expect they wanted to give Ash the water starter, but it was the only one girly enough for Dawn, and although Ash would have looked cool with Empoleon, him with Piplup could've taken away the heroic figure they're trying to asociate Ash with. So instead they gave him both the fire AND the grass type.
What they should've done is had Ash evolve Totodile all the way in Johto, then they wouldnt be in this mess, but hopefully the next water type wont be an obvious girly candidate, and Ash will get his water powerhouse.

Interesting post, considering at this stage Ash's primary powerhouse is a non-starter water-type, who has overshadowed both of his starters thus far. But yes, I agree with you about Totodile. Hideously underused.

Rants should be taken to LiveJournal or elsewhere. If you're just going to rant this thread is pretty pointless since there isn't anything to discuss. That, and too many people complain about this all of the time...:\

Closing.
