Found it today on a fresh TV tropes edit and thought it might be useful and appreciated by you guys. Credit to TV troper 'BlastVision'
Ash's two unevolved Sinnoh Pokemon (Buizel and Gible) are the only two that didn't have any major significance to the Ash/Paul rivalry: Staraptor actually kickstarted it when the two argued over how they caught their Starly, Torterra was Ash's main player before he caught Chimchar and received mentorship from Paul's own Torterra, Infernape probably doesn't need much explanation, and Gliscor stuck out as TheLoad of Ash's team before it evolved (playing into Paul's belief that it's not worth trying to train a weaker Pokemon over a stronger one). While Buizel did battle against Paul, it never had anything specific to prove against him, and Gible simply didn't battle Paul at all.
