Yeah, ok!
Since they are coming back for the Sinnoh league, what are people expecting out of them?
What did people like about Ash's Johto team? Heracross and Donphan was good, but as said they count more as reserves, and Donphan was on Ash's team during AG.
So excluding Heracross who was a short-lived reserve, and Donphan who on Ash's team during AG... what was good about the Johto starters/Noctowl? Their battles weren't anywhere near as good as the Kanto/Hoenn/Sinnoh teams. Their personalities, at least IMO, weren't as interesting either.
- Bayleef. Personality wise it was the most memorable, but compare it to Bulbasaur, Sceptile and Torterra...and Bayleef really has nothing much going for it. Its personality is cute though.
- Cyndaquil...had potential but the writing of Johto screwed it over. Chimchar was Cyndaquil DONE RIGHT. Ash has a fully evolved Charizard and Infernape, as well as Torkoal, I really can't see what Cynda can bring to the table.
- Totodile...quite possibly one of Ash's weakest pokemon in the whole show. Comparing it to Squirtle, Corphish, Buizel, and even Kingler...it really has nothing going for it. Personality wise it was OK, if one-dimensional. Corphish was Totodile DONE RIGHT.
- Noctowl...again one of Ash's weakest Pokemon. Its only use is fighting against ghost Pokemon. Its use could be its psychic abilities displayed, something most of Johto failed to do.
What do people expect? Ash's Johto team was clearly Ash's least popular team in the series, and everyone knows it. Back when Johto was airing, Bulbasaur/Squirtle/Charizard overshadowed them and the Johto team felt like the "Tracey" of Ash's lineup. The writers wouldn't even give them a goodbye sequence at the end of the arc.
