What happened to all of Ash's Pokémon?

[PokéProf17]

Why are they so misplaced and weird? Last time I watched the show, he caught a gible?

I mean I never imagined he'd have a gible or a gliscor (I thought Jessie would get that one)

But what happened to like Gliscor, and aipom? And also, why didn't Ash ever pick Pidgeot after he got back from Seafoam Island? He said he'd come for it when he got back, so is Pidgeot just like sitting there on a tree just all pissed that he got ditched? Cuz that's what I usually picture

I've never imagined Ash to have a Gible either but the writers suprised us
Ash traded Aipom for Dawn's Buizel, Dawn evolved it and then Ambipom got interested in Pokemon ping pong so Dawn gave it to a guy name O so it could follow its dream. Gliscor was given to the air master for training and that's how Ash got Gible.
The way u pictured it made me LOL, anyway the writers already gave up on Pidgeot, Ash will never get it back.

I really wish they could've started the sending pokemon to professor Oak agenda earlier, I remembered as a kid how I hated the Anime for releasing all of Ashs power houses.
I hate the status quo,

Ash only ever released 5 Pokemon in his total run. The most recent release, Gliscor, was mind blowing.

As for the type of Pokemon, the writers realized Ash getting all the starters in Johto was a horrible idea, so after the Johto team bombed they started making his Hoenn and Sinnoh teams, "cooler" and more evolved.

I'm not sure what you're asking here. The main part of your question was answered, but as for the rest, Pidgeot is likely a subject that'll never get addressed again. Their choice of giving Ash a Dragon is unprecedented, but I don't find it too strange. It has yet to make up for replacing Gliscor, though. You sound like someone that skipped over most of DP and just started watching the dub again with the current segment. Things'll get really interesting soon, so I recommend you stick around and if you have any other questions, I'm sure the people around here can answer them.

Rofl, I was tempted to sig the part about Pidgeot xD
But yea, its already been explained how he got them and Scott did a job job saying why he gets different types of Pokemon now.
I do like how they give Ash unexpected Pokemon now and it hope it continues.

I think if the writers had Ash use his older pokemon more frequently then once after every 200 eps...people wouldn't be wondering what happened to them.

We had to wait up to DP182 just to see Ash's older pokemon again. 182 episodes...

I think that what happened to Pidgeot is that the writers forgot all about it (even though Ash promised to come back for it). I think that "misplaced and weird" means the unexpected catches Ash makes (like Gible, his first Dragon Pokemon).

Just use your imagination on what happened to them.
The owners of Pokemon probaly won't have those Pokemon Ash promised he'd come back to appear again.

Alot of it is that those pokemon don't really serve any purpose in the the marketing scheme anymore which is why for the most part they're only brought back to serve a purpose. For example why do you think all of the Johto pokemon are present in this league, we got Bayleef, Quilava, Totodile, Noctowl, Donphan, and Heracross.

Leaving this open will just lead to approximately the 3,000,104th old vs. new discussion/debate, with the same boring points brought up every single time. I suggest to the OP to browse through old threads in this forum and especially the episode discussion forum if you want to catch up on what you missed.
