All you Buizel for Ash people need to stop. Ash won't trade Aipom for it. Dawn won't trade Buizel either. Dawn has Buizel. Suck it up. A trade will never happen. Does anyone agree with me that this trade will never happen ?
 
After all the unexpected events we've seen so far in D/P, there's really no way to know for sure one way or the other.
 
On Serebii, people are jacking this eppy all beacuse Dawn gets Buizel, and I keep saying "She has it. Suck it up". Well, at least Ash gets Chimchar, but he doesn't need a Water-type, that and there are no Sinnoh Water-types that can battle on land that aren't taken already

Agreed.

Honestly, for the rest of D/P...all bets are off.

The writers have pretty much thrown most of their "rules" out the window when it came to this saga. Sure, its the same damn thing with Ash going on his billionth badge quest and a female character doing Contests which we've seen before, but other than that mostly everything else is unexpected.

*hand raise* And the getting-first-bird-of-gen-early-on pattern. But yeah. Huzzah for trying new, random...stuff.
 
So, they're sorta making stuff up on the fly back there in Japan, or is it PUSA's fault for editing the eppy's
 
How could PUSA possibly have anything to do with this? Learn to have a clue what you're talking about before you make yourself look foolish. PUSA merely translates and "localizes" the episodes, that's all.
 
So, it's Japan's fault for making the D/P anime so topsy-turvy ?

Oh no, it's never Japan's fault, there's gotta be something else. Like...the writers of the show...and anyone else in charge in how they run their show.
 
I thought being predictable was a bad thing...

Anyway, the writers definately had a reason for giving Ash a contest-loving Pokémon and Dawn a battle-loving Pokémon. The question is what that reason is. A trade down the road is certainly a possibility but if you have another idea, feel free to share it.
 
Look its just how some of us feel, I'm not normally one to complaine about this in every thread. But since you brought this up I'm simply going to say its our opinion respect it, you feel that way we respect yours.
 
It's indeed a good thing to see that the writers them self are trying to break out the circle of repeation.

As for Buoysel and Aipom, Chosen Mana sums it up very nicely: "if it happens, it happens". I'm not saying that there is zero change that the two trainers will trade. But as things currently stand, I doubt it.
Ash and Aipom gets along well and neither seems to want to leave each other. Byousel doesn't mind hanging around with Hikari and Hikari doesn't show any signs of wanting to get rid of Byuosel.

This is pure a guess with nothing to back it up, but I think it's done to make Hikari not pure Contest-only and Ash not to look gym-battle-minded-only.

What would be the point in that? When has Dawn ever expressed an interest in doing anything but Contests?
 
Unown_ means that having those Pokemon kind of makes them more well-rounded. You've stated yourself, Scott, that Dawn seems to be more willing to battle outside of contests than May was, and Buizel kind of represents that. And Ash, while specializing in gyms, is clearly willing to try anything Pokemon-related (cooking Poffins, entering contests, etc.), and Aipom represents that.

Hikari: participate in tag battle tournament
Ash: see Geodude's post above
 
Now all we need is Pipulp joining a Pokemon gang and then deciding to go with Ash instead of Dawn. Considering how off the wall this series has become, wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

This is silly, Paul was different, he only wants to win and if one of his Pokemon looses a couple of battles he lets them go becuase it shows weakness in him. Dawn is not like Paul, she is like Ash to where if they loose they train them to where they win and always belive in there Pokemon. Neither Ash nore Dawn will ever give away there Pokemon just for the heck of it. I can see Dawn lending her Pokemon to Ash if he needed them, but she'd never give them away unless they wanted to.
