Haunter was never in a Pokéball. Shellder and Magikarp were. They were officially owned by the character for even a small time.
So for the same reason, Haunter isn't on Ash's roster since it only agreed to help, not become part of his team. Although, going by those standards, Beedrill and Seaking should technically be on there too. But neither of those did anything at all. Beedrill went straight to Casey. Seaking was put back.
Shellder was a big plot point for that episode, even though it would have been a lot better if Jessie had got to keep it.
Iota
Granted, but at the same time, Noland has articuno there, and it even states he doesn't own it =P
And Seviper: It was Glare, not Scary Face.
Looked it up on bulbapedia, http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Jessie's_Seviper
It has Poison Fang and Lick listed too, Bulbapedia is 99% of the time correct, the creator should go through it... ^^; (Btw, I looked in history to make sure it wasn't just spam xD) Only problem with it is that it doesnt say when it was used >.<
EDIT: It didn't strike me as odd until right this minute... Pikachu has never used Thunderwave ;
