Pokemon that you want to see more in the spotlight?

Porygon can be seen in the background to the beginning of the second movie during the urban scene behind a chain link fence.

I've always wondered why the ban apparently doesn't extend to the movies, although in the case of that urban scene that you mentioned, it's sort of amusing that Porygon was behind a chain link fence, almost as a reference to it being literally barred from the main anime after the seizure incident.

Qwilfish. I've always thought it was cool-looking Pokemon from Gen 2. Gen 2 had a lot of cool water-types in my opinion.
Qwilfish is my second favorite Pokémon, behind Weezing. Poor thing never got much attention or screentime. I've often joked that Dawn's Piplup got more screentime in two episodes than Qwilfish as a species ever got. I'd like to see Qwilfish get more focus.

Basculin, too. I wish Cilan could've kept the one he caught.

When was the last time Cleffa made an appearance? I know there was that one Johto episode that had the return of the spaceship Clefairy but after that I don’t recall ever seeing it again. Chingling is another Baby that needs more attention. Chimecho is an interesting Pokémon and a living jingle bell is such a clever and adorable concept and its appearance makes it vastly different from the only other living bell Pokémon Bronzong. In fact all of the Baby Pokémon other than Bonsly, Mime Jr, Munchlax, Pichu, Rilou, and Togepi deserve some more episodes highlighting them.

Qwilfish is awesome and it sucks that it hardly appears and has been underrepresented but that also applies to alot of fish Pokemon for obvious reasons.

Barboach. After the earthquake canceled its debut episode, it never appeared in a major way. Its debut was only in the background as one of many Pokémon Juan had. And it's never had a major appearance since.

This. The poor mud fishy deserved its own episode after its planned debut episode got banned but the folks in charge probably thought nobody cared about Barboach.

Just hit me. We never got to see Lana's Ace Pokemon, Araquanid, make it's debut. In fact, we barely got to see Araquanid at all! What wasted potential, it has such a cool design and ability.

The Anime/Special's canon know it all.
It show up in Pokemon special manga it is fine if anime don't really wanted to show it as it is different universe kind rule

You know what! My inner anime fanboy usually has very little interest in character returns, so I can't believe I'm saying this but Lana should definitely return in the new series just so Araquanid can have a properly dedicated episode! Give our boi Araquanid a proper episode!

I wanted Satoshi to capture one in SM, then when that didn't happen I was rooting for Suiren to catch the Shizukumo that she befriended since it could've evolved into Onishizukumo, but apparently the writers just didn't want to give Suiren any Pokemon that weren't incredibly marketable.

We saw a Boldore in the latest episode.

I think he meant the evolutionary line in general since Dangoro, Gantle, and Gigaiath have rarely appeared after Best Wishes. The same applies to the Kurumiru line.

I think it would be nice to see Korrina’s Lucario get another focus episode or two. Korrina’s Lucario didn’t get enough episodes considering how powerful it was.

Most of the controversial Pokemons like the Porygon line. The directors and the fans need to get over the backlash from the past.
