Ash's pokemon DID get a tougher look

[Duskvile]

Grotle- Durable and rough looking. Face kinda freaks me out.

Monferno- Pretty much a roughneck and badass.

Staraptor- Do I need to say it? Total gangster.

Gliscor- Evil scorpion. Looks rough and intimidating.

Buizel- Hardy looking weasel.

What's your point??

 

[Ho-oh]

I'm guessing he means that he used to have some scruffy, weak/cute looking pokémon, whereas now he as more baddass pets.

Charizard, Sceptile, Donphan, Glaile, Kingler are a few that just look really cute and cuddly right?

I guess this kid has started watching Pokemon at D/P series or something

Evolution is very common in the series now. Back then, Ash had pokemon either in their basic forms or the first stage of evolution. (With exception of Charizard). Now most of Ash's pokemon ever since AG started had evolved. The only exceptions are Pikachu (given), Corphish, Torkoal (it doesn't have an evolution anyway), and Buizel.
