Why does Ash never capture any ghost pokemon(not haunter because it is not official capture it with pokeball)...?

When will Ash become pokemon master and catch more pokemon.....?I remember he say that he wanna catch all pokemon -__-.

And its kinda weird that Ash's Pikachu already followed him since kanto.....but Pikachu level like nvr increase.......Most of his pokemon also nvr evolve.(mybe they don like to evolve...)

Last question....when will Misty come back ?? =(
 
Ash has had powerful Pokemon in his roster for the last two regions, what more do you want?

Last question....when will Misty come back ?? =(

lol, where did this come from?

She'll maybe appear for 2 or so episodes during the entire Sinnoh region, and that's only an *if* at this point.
 
Most likely because there are only a very few Ghost Pokemon and they typically don't fit his style or image (tend to be overly mischievous and require a fair amount of strategy to handle.)

Satoshi decided to simply focus on a few Pokemon so that he could have quality Pokemon. They're his friends so he's not gonna go around capturing them if he isn't gonna have time to use them and help them grow. Besides, it's sort of impractical for any one person to catch all the Pokemon in existence. Pokemon don't have levels in the anime.

Kasumi won't be coming back to the cast in any permanent capacity - her part of this journey is over. She may make cameos, but there's no real reason to bring her back.

k,i agree with your 1st statement....and Pokemon don't have levels in anime rite?But why Pikachu like nvr grow stronger...

So Kasumi will nvr bak in anime 4ever? Sob...T_T....I miss her so much..!!

Lewl...suddenly something pop in my mind....Does Ash forget about his Pidgeot?He make a promise to it say that he will be back.....

Probably not, but she still shows up at least once per region.

He can't be bothered to look for it. Yeah, he's a promise breaker.
 
Pikachu never grows 'stronger' because it's necessary. Would the series be at all interesting if every gym battle was an OHKO due to "Pikachu, use Thunder!"? No, of course not. He does get some really cool moves. Iron Tail and Volt Tackle are both stuff he learned later on.

Nope, not likely. Kasumi would, once again, just take up space on-screen. There's nothing like Gyms or Contests she can do. Combine that with Brock and...yeah.

Satoshi probably hasn't forgotten his Pidgeot, but it's not on his immediate priority list. It's probably very happy where it is and still needed there to protect the others. And as of right now, Pidgeot doesn't really offer much that Ohsubame or Muku.BIRD don't.

[/B] don't.

Ok,i kinda get it all about Pikachu.....But i am kinda frustated that they keep changing the female main character....And if pokemon still hv hell lots of series then the female character,or maybe brock will being change continuosly......

Im guessing you haven't watched the show for a loooooooong time. Ash doesn't even remember the Pokemon he leaves at Oak's, let alone Pidgeot and Primeape.

The female protagonists are changed to keep the show fresh. And the best move the writers did was getting rid of Misty. Her personality and character where butchered enough. No need for it to suffer anymore. Same happened to May in the end of AG. Her character wasn't as fresh as before and the writers didn't want to have to go trough another character's personality and role suffering.
I believe DP is the last series

And you believe this why? -_-' I hate it when people say "this generation is the last", "this series is the last". WE DON'T KNOW!

They're his friends so he's not gonna go around capturing them if he isn't gonna have time to use them and help them grow.

Totodile, Cyndaquil, Muk, Kingler and Noctowl say hi.
 
The Johto team in general didn't get much love from the writers. It didn't help matters that the Kanto team was still active in Johto, especially in Gym 1, 8 and the league.

Sometimes its easy to notice that the writers have a bias. They continually bring the Kanto team back every saga, but the Johto team seems to have been practically forgotten about.

I really feel sorry for fans of those Pokemon. They only have 1 region of fame and even there they're upstaged by Bulbasaur/Squirtle/Charizard, who all stole their spotlight.
 
I like those Pokemon. And realize the waste the writers made them out to be. I hate to see wasted potential. -_-' Specially poor Cyndaquil, like if Lizardon wasn't enough. Now he has firebutt to worry about. Totodile atleast still has that attention grabbing personality to set him apart from Ash's other waters. But yeah. *sighs* It sucks. >_<

And Gym 1, 8 and the League all focused their attention on Ash's cursed Lizardon. -_-'

Incorrect; Satoshi certainly does remember them. What we have to understand is that it's in everyone's best interest for him to focus on the current group rather than constantly switch out Pokemon. The older Pokemon have generally already been strengthened enough and can continue to grow on their own. The newer ones need far more attention; delaying them training by switching out would only serve to weaken them for no good reason. Same with Gym Battles. Battling in them are very important because those are clearly the toughest battles and needed to generally give the Pokemon experience.

While much of the reasoning for not showing older Pokes is an Out of Show thing, we need to remember to keep in mind Satoshi's personality before making up explanations. It is shown time and time again that Satoshi cares deeply for his Pokes. There should be no doubt in anyone's mind of that. It completely goes against his character to say, 'Oh well he must've forgotten about Pidgeot and Okorizaru.' Rather, the most logical explanation is that he believes they are happiest where they are and that it's the best place for them.

Waninoko, Hinoarashi, and Yoronozuku would like to remind you that they were on the show for a very long time, though it is true that the writers did keep them underevolved. Betbeton and Kingler would like to tell you that they are exceptions rather than the rule and since then, things have obviously changed.

Well it wouldn't hurt for the writers to actually SHOW this in the anime. Seriously, Satoshi recently saw a Heracross in Shinou, one he fought, mentioning he has one and knows how they work or something alone those lines wouldn't hurt anyone. On the contrary, it would show us he does care about his Pokemon. But nooo, the writers just prefer pointless filler and ignoring continuity to consistency.

And whats the point of having a Pokemon if you aren't going to train it? Like I said at Serebii, a regional journey takes a while, and rotation in no way would hurt the newbies. But nothing can be done, because it seems the writers have something against pointing out things from the previews seasons.

Well the writers sure do an amazing job of portraying Satoshi's relationship with his older Pokemon. But, then again, aren't the writers are just awesome when it comes to forgetting about things and not mentioning them for over 200 episodes! A little consistency would be appreciated. There is no need for there be none, and it doesn't hurt the writers to mention, once in a while, about Ash's old Pokemon atleast.

I don't care if Cyndaquil and Totodile evolve or not. Bayleef was developed better than both. But they got no justice. And sure they where on for a long time, but that long time was the worst time for the Pokemon anime. It wouldn't kill the writers to do this guys justice. Fillers involving them would be MUCH more interesting that COTD fillers. Hell, there was this filler with this girl who owns and Abra and Sandshrew, so the whole "only showing new pokemon" isn't an excuse.

And Muk and Kingler aren't exceptions. They could be redeemed from the writers' Kantou newbie-ness just like the Jouto team could be redeemed from the fillerific Jouto and it's shaft-full league.

See, I can understand that. I agree with you at some degree that the writers do need to do a better job at maintaining continuity. It'd be great for them to have Ash recognize some Pokes that he's seen before. And yeah, I'd love for him to mention his old ones. That'd be awesome. I still hold that not doing a rotation is best - if he'd started out by rotating his Pokes, then yes, it'd work, but as of now, I really think that rotating in older Pokes would end up hurting his newer ones somehow. That's why Lizardon has to be removed from the anime back in Jouto. Also, not everything is pointless filler - there are some great episodes with plot and stuff.

Certainly, I'd like to see them brought back at some point. I really would. I want Waninoko and Hinoarashi to have some great battles - I just don't think during his regional journey is the best time for that. Now, if they have a filler arc between Shinou and the next region and the infamous Jouto remake becomes a reality? That'd be a perfect time for these guys to shine.

Just to clear things up, I think alot of this is the fault of the writers. They had some major issues that fucked things up. But I don't think it's something you can really blame on Satoshi either. Yeah, weird, I guess, but it's one of those things I adhere to.

Im glad we can come to an agreeing point and share similar views as to the situation with Satoshi's various Pokemon. The whole "writer's fault is what I was going to post over at serebii, but my server won't let me access it. >_< You are TheHolyShoe, correct?

And on rotation, I can understand your point now that you mention Lizardon. But I still think, if it could be handled correctly, that it could be good. But I agree that right now isn't the best time.

Yeah, that's me. Sorry if I came across badly or something. And yeah, I guess it could be done correctly, but I really think they messed up that earlier on. If Satoshi didn't already have Pikachu all the time, it'd be much more feasible.

And nah, on the contrary, I feel like I was the one who acted rather incorrectly. v.v' And true. But what can we do? Just hope, that in the future they redeem the poor Jouto pokies I guess...

Hope for a Jouto remake so we get a Jouto based filler. Or really hope that they use the Jouto pokemon in any filler series, really.
 
I would love to see Bayleef used again, but I doubt it.

Ash has too many conflicting types now so there's no point to use his Johto roster. Honestly, there's nothing the Johto team does that all his other teams can't do a hell of a lot better.

Between Charizard, Chimchar, and Torkoal, there's no reason to use Cyndaquil again.

Between Bulbasaur, Sceptile, and Turtwig, Bayleef is useless.

Between Squirtle, Corphish, AND Buizel...man does Totodile look pathetic in comparison.

And Noctowl is just weak altogether.

Honestly, at this point it would be a miracle to see them used again. They writers probably figured they don't have much of a fanbase because they replaced the nostalgic Kanto team that everybody loved, and after Johto ended they just dumped them at Oaks without a goodbye and basically forgot about them.
 
I believe DP is the last series

No,it wont,because Satoshi like never grow up...It cant just end like that.

Yea,u were right,i just watched till "Sweet Baby James" , seriously this episode really made me cry...love this episode so much =) I will catch till DP a.s.a.p...

Lol i always imagine that when Pokemon came to an end,Team Rocket will start their own buisness since they are quite a good buisnessman...haha....

Anyway,i would like to see Kanto's Pokemon again too....espesially Bayleef,it is such a cutie =D...
