Nostalgia

I was just watching through the Indigo episodes today and was thinking. Does anybody else wonder if Ash gets nostalgic when he sees a Butterfree or Pidgeot? Or one of the Pokemon he has at Oaks lab, like Heracross or something. Something like, 'hey i have one of those! i wonder how its doing....' Just curious.
 
Nope he hasn't yet nothing has been written about the old released pokemon or he would get flash backs or run into them. But there have been some episodes where he talks to Oak on the picture phone and sees some of the pokemon there at the lab and he says hi to them and stuff. But other then that they aren't talked about. Other then the time he flashed back to Primeape. And Charizard/Squirtle some times come back to help.

I think they should bring some back to his team though they might end up like Aipom and traded away if they get replaced by a new pokemon.


Ps I think its kinda weird people try to think of anime characters as real or think they have real emotions like Nostalgia and stuff. Maybe its just me and that I like to keep real things and tv/cartoon just in fantasy separate and not mix the two. lol but what ever :P

I would hope he gets nostalgic, especially after he traded Butterfree for Raticate and then basically risked his life just to trade it back. I would hope he would appreciate it a little more.

It would be nice if he appreciated all his pokemon as much as he does Pikachu.
 
Well, we have had a few Caterpie/Butterfree flashbacks, but i don't recall Ash ever thinking about his other releases.
 
While there have been flashbacks (Though I can't re-call any being Butterfree specific, though I'm sure there have been), he usually doesn't. In fact, during Orange or Johto, he saw a forest of Caterpie, said "I haven't had a Bug Pokemon in a while" and tried to capture it before being stopped by Misty. Generally, he scans a Pokemon with his Dex (even if he's seen/captured it before) to learn any new info on it (or, out of universe, to promote the Pokemon in question).
