I'm Jaggy and proud
Strangely i really dont want Ash to evolve Pignite to Emboar, i just dont think it has to be shown. Ash has had a fire/fighting so theres nothing really special about it, and i'd prefer his true starter to get the limelight, Just seeing fully evolved samurott bursting out of its pokeball ready for battle.

I really hope that the writers do something with Hidden Abilities; I want Oshawott to have Shell Armor instead of Torrent, which I believe is the better ability. But if Oshawott doesn't have a Hidden Ability, I at least hope that one of Ash's other Pokemon has one. It would be an original theme, which is something that this saga has lacked IMO.

It could be that the writers have been hinting at him having the hidden ability throught the saga, but aren't ready to reveal that it is just yet. Maybe they just didn't want to spoil it either by having it appear to not be true at times as well. They may tie-in the Dream World somehow at some point and the hidden ability would finally be confirmed if it is indeed true.

I'm still hoping for Ash to end up with this:

Pikachu - Not going anywhere.
Unfezant - She's done for now.
Dewott - I want Oshawott to evolve, but Burgundy will most likely showcase Samurott.
Emboar - I know Bianca will debut it, but I think Tepig is Ash's main starter (a-la Charizard/Sceptile/Infernape).
Servine - I see Trip showcasing Serperior, I think Ash having 2 middle stage starters and one fully evolved would be something different.
Scraggy - Needs an unevolved Pokemon for marketing.
Leavanny - Coming soon.
Seismitoad - He can be Ash's fully-evolved Water-type for Unova.
Gigalith - I'd love to see Ash with this, even if it's only hope is random evolution.
Krokorok - If it evolves Ash would have two fully-evolved Ground-types plus Krok needs to get over the glasses issue.
Elgyem - Just to give Ash two teams of five Pokemon, with Pikachu accompanying both. Also, he needs a Psychic-type. Please writers, don't give up on another new capture.

Yes, I think he needs one last Pokemon.

The reason I see Emboar is because the writers tend to prefer Ash's Fire Starters to be the main starter.


just because burgundy has a dewott doesn't mean ash won't get a samurott, news flash burgundy is cilan's rival not ash's so you can't just say things like that because you don't know about them

I'd like this better
I love the tepig lying which is ironic to me but i beg the writers to just have Ash focus on pignite

if servine or serprior happen there could be a pattern going
Basic , 1st , 2nd , 2nd , then goes on and on to 2nd or Basic , 1st , 2nd , 2nd , 1st , Basic

Oshawott will make history if it evolves just once but will make double history if he evolves twice

Let's go to the beach, each.

That's what I think; the writers planned to give Oshawott its Hidden Ability from the start, but they haven't decided when to reveal that he has it. I do recall that Trip's Tranquill was able to land a critical hit, which would have been impossible if Oshawott truly did have Shell Armor, but maybe the ability works differently for Oshawott; maybe his Scalchop got stronger as a result of the ability, and that's why he can use it to deflect certain attacks.

Oshawott will make history if it evolves just once

We have Palpitoad for a reason. [IMG139]http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u469/KrokorokDies/nails.gif[/IMG139]

For those using apparently menu sprites, is there not one for female Unfezant? (I guess same question could apply to Frillish and Jellicent) I ask because I'm seeing Male Unfezant menu sprites when referring to Ash's Unfezant.

Personally on the subject of Axew evolving, I think they screwed themselves over by having it be a Pokemon that's always out. Maybe we'll get Fraxure close to the end of 5th generation anime, and the.n have it evolve soon after into Haxorus. Then should Iris ever return to the series after 5th gen, Haxorus will be out, OR Iris could just not have a outside all the time Pokemon and she just sends out her Pokemon.

But now? No, as much as I want Axew to evolve, I just can't see it, given that Axew has been in every episode of Best Wishes so far.

That is why I see him evolving later only if he does, Blaziken like atleast if it ever evolves to Haxorous, I would still love to see Scraggy and him evolving together though.

It would be nice that if Oshawott is shown to really have the Hidden Ability later on, that the other 2 starters also get shown as having hidden abilities.

Just one wouldn't be enough, at least to me anyway.

The only Unova starter that Ash has that I would want it to have its hidden ability, is Snivy for Contrary.

Reckless and especially shell armor, are "stupid" to say the least. Plus Ash has never had a Pokemon activate torrent before, and Arceus knows if Ash will ever get a water starter Pokemon again.

While blaze is tiring, reckless would be pointless, unless it had something like head smash, or wild charge, or flare blitz to make the ability useful, and frankly I don't see Pignite/Emboar having very many recoil moves, maybe 1-2 at MOST.

But this is just me.

It would just be somethng different instead of the usual Torrent/overgrow/Blaze. I think if they are going to reveal hidden abilities; they are better off having all 3 of them have it regardless of the down effect.

Pignite/Emboar may learn Head Smash and Wild Charge (I'm thinking Wild Charge is more likely).

Palpitoad evolving would be just another Kingler , Oshawott would make history by being Ash's first evolved water starter

Palpitoad wouldn't be another Kingler. He is actually getting battles prior to the league. He wouldn't be like Kingler unless he evolves during a league battle.

Both evolving makes the most sense. They both greatly benefit from it.

He has returned.

by this point having a water pokemon evolve in general would be an improvement.

I still think at least Pignite, Boldure and Palpitoad should evolve at least by the league, and the Krok or Scraggy during it.

I think before the league Oshawott should evolve once, and during the league Snivy also evolve. The rest I agree would be a good idea before and during the league.

By Kingler i mean their both bosses

Samurott and Seismitoad would even the odds

Fire fully = 3 , Grass Fully = 2 , soon to be 3 , Water fully 1

I definitely want Oshawott to evolve, but only to Dewott. I don't know, I just don't get the Samurott appeal. I think Dewott would be a better fit for Ash at least for the duration of BW. Maybe he can eventually make it to Samurott. Hopefully, Oshawott will evolve around the league. I also hope Emboar won't happen, keep it Pignite. I'm still bitter that we got 3rd Fire/Fighting starter in a row. Ash doesn't need another fully evolved Fire type to steal the spotlight. I don't care whether Snivy evolves or not.

I think all 3 starters will probably evolve at least once before the league. I also wouldn't be that surprised if none of them were fully evolved by the time the league comes.

Hold your breath, bud, hold your breath.



Only way that'll happen is if B2W2 introduces 8 new gyms, and Ash keeps his roster and rotation going.

Anyone else going to be annoyed if the only screen time Dewott/Samurott get is through that weakling that Burgundy owns or some random CotD?
