That is exactly what I address in the below paragraphs. Pretending that a Pokémon doesn’t exist and then giving it a few focus episodes gives more of a "Hey, we gave it focus, are you happy now?" rather than genuine development. It’s incredibly forced and annoying for me. We got Farfetch'd focus episodes, but where was it when it didn’t even appear in so many episodes before and after that. Why are we going through so many stretches where Ash's Pokemon don’t even appear once? Where are the team dynamics? Where’s the entire team interacting with each other?I feel like Gengar and Dracovish are the only two that haven’t gotten enough focus as of now. Farfetch’d started out that way, but has since been redeemed (at least in my eyes).
I don’t like how Ash's Pokemon are borderline non existent and suddenly become relevant when they need to get their mandated focus episode or evolve.
