Aipom will most likely evolve around the 4th gym then she'll be left at Oak's then brought back by the 7th.

He is going to stay. what's the point of having a 2nd generation pokemon, evolving it and sending it to Oak? They are not going to evolve it to store it, that'd be dumb.

If Aipom does in fact evolve in the up coming contest, i would not be suprised in the slightest if it is Oaked or released sometime in sinnoh.

Aipom is a boy

Unless it was dub added, May said or implyed something in the episode after the grand festival that Aipom was a girl.

Look this all depends on Aipom evolving in the upcoming contest(which is highly likely considering that it is the nature of the hour special), like or not if it does, and it doesn't leave, it's going to face the same treatment Torkoal recieved in hoenn.

Think about this, how often are Snorlax, Muk, Kingler, Tauros, and Heracross ever used or seen anymore, Glalie was ditched after the hoenn league and hasn't been heard or seen from since, Torkoal barely saw the light of day in AG, and even Donphan was largely neglected after it evolved, why should Etebossu be any different or more special than them.

Point overall if you ain't a starter or flyer and can't evolve or can't go any higher, then you aren't going to recive much focus, you'd be better off gone then getting that kind of treatment.

Wouldn't have what? They can dump her for about 3 gym's then have her come back until the end.

it will stay. etebossu wouldnt have that if he did do that it would go crazy.

People said the same things about Bayleef before Ash went off to Hoenn and look at how it turned out.

I do kind of want Aipom to stick around, then again it is a waste of a slot and opportunity for Satoshi to catch something else more worthwhile.

Exactly what i'm hoping for, it's not really that impressive of a pokemon to me in terms of battling skills and it's personality isn't that appealing either, since after all we've already had an Ash crush pokemon.
