Which of the main characters' Pokemon would be great together

[monkeyjb1988]

I just watched the Japanese versions of Steamboat Willies and Pikachu's Vacation. As I was watching the beginning of P'sV, I realized that most of the Pokemon we've grown to love are gone. Seriously,Pikachu was the only link between the episode and short. I then began to wonder which Pokemon form each series would get along together. I believe Croagunk and Charizard may a rivalry, like Croa does with Buizel. Buizel would probably like Squirtle. Buneary and Bayleef would get along, and don't get me started about the possibilities for mischeif for Pachirisu and Totodile. Which Pokemon who haven't met do you think would be great together?

This sounds like it should go in the shipping section. I could be wrong.

 

[monkeyjb1988]

Absolutly not. I'm talking about who would good friends together, Like Pikachu with Piplup or Aipom with Buneary. I restate: Which Pokemon from the past would be good friends with a Pokemon on the show now, or who would be rivals?

 

[Casual_Furi]

Sudowoodo and Torkoal. Pachirisu and Togepi. Gligar and Bayleef (They could croon over Ash like school girls)

 

[Cybersai]

What do you mean by the "Pokemon we know and love" are no longer in the series? We still see Ash use his old Pokemon every so often, or at least his "good" old Pokemon.

Anyway, Charizard and Sceptile meeting would be epic.

Kingler and Corphish already met in 1 brief scene.

Squirtle, Corphish and Buizel would probably form some kind of water pokemon alliance, and gang up on Totodile for being a "weakling."

Psyduck meeting Croagunk would also be epic.

I also would like Sceptile and Bayleef to get together, but that's shipping.

I just want to see what Ash's Bulbasaur makes of a certain Grass/Poison reptile May has.

Easiest way of doing this would be looking at similarities.

I reckon Buizel and Squirtle could develop a sort of rivalry, due to their origins. There seemed to be a sort of spiritual bond between Kingler and Corphish hinted at when they shook pincers at Oak's lab - I'd be interested in seeing how that comes about. Charizard and Chimchar had practically the same background and joined Ash's team in more-or-less the same way (as did Bulbasaur and Squirtle to a lesser degree). Turtwig and Bulbasaur would probably form some kind of police force at the lab.

Aside from Ash's team, I'd noticed some respect for May's Blaziken from Dawn's Piplup. Skitty and Pachirisu could be interesting to see together, too. Hyperactive tail chasers for the win.

One big three-way rivalry between Charizard, Buizel, and croagunk would be awesome.

Chimchar and Charizard, the two abused starters.

Bulbasaur, Bayleef, Sceptile, and turtwig-the 4 grass starters all together.

Primape and Ambipom should get together and play of game of "Ash in the middle" with his hat.

Pachirisu and Snorlax. Which'll happen first, Snorlax becomes active and hyper, or Pachirisu becomes laxy and laid-back? XD

 

[Yash]

I just want to see what Ash's Bulbasaur makes of a certain Grass/Poison reptile May has.

Maybe it'd finally evolve, lol.

Primeape and Charizard. Two Pokemon that would never listen to Ash at first, but grew to like him.

How about Butterfree and Beautifly?

 

[DashingFox]

I agree that Charizard and Sceptile meeting would be epic
Croagunk and Psyduck could have a staring contest
Buizel and Corphish
Turtwig and Bulbasaur

 

[monkeyjb1988]

Those are some good pairings, plenty I want to see, especially Croagunk and Psyduck and Cimchar and Charizard. It even inspired me to write a fanfic starring the latter pairing.

I've came up with a great threesome, although two of them are not Pokemon: Croagunk, Misty, and Max. Oh, Brock wouldn't get within two feet of a woman. Heck, he probably couldn't get near Dawn (and I don't think those two even have a fanon ship). Those three would be great.

P.S. In my fic, Pachirisu will get paired with Charizard for a short scene...take a guess and think what's going to happen.

What do you mean by the "Pokemon we know and love" are no longer in the series? We still see Ash use his old Pokemon every so often, or at least his "good" old Pokemon.

How often do you see the older Pokemon? Yeah, they can come back, but they are not part of Ash's team. We havn't seen most of them since Advanced Generation. Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, the three that I personally thought would never leave, havn't been seen since Johto minus guest shots. That's what I meant when I said they're no longer in the series. I know they can come back, but the fact is that they are no longer the mainstays they used to be, or like Turtwig, Piplup, Gligar, and the others are now. The only Pokemon I can expect to always be there is Pikachu.

If Ash kept the same Pokemon on his team all the time he wouldn't be able to capture any new Pokemon. We've seen the older Pokemon used throughout Battle Frontier, and I'm sure we'll see them used at some point in late DP again.

All of Ash's old Pokemon have been used again after the saga they were captured in aside from the Johto starters + Noctowl.

Charizard, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, the three that I personally thought would never leave, havn't been seen since Johto minus guest shots.

I wouldn't really call those guest shots, IMO. They're still Ash's Pokemon, used the same way as we deposit our Pokemon in the PC box in the games. Its just Ash storing his old Pokemon until he uses them again for his big battles.

Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charizard have always gotten a tremendous amount of screentime in the show, staying for early Johto, used again extensively in late Johto, and appearing throughout Battle Frontier.

As I said, the only team that feels like its been flat out ignored are the Johto starters and Noctowl. I made sure not to get too attached to the Johto team because I knew they were going to be ignored once AG started.

Ash has too many redundant types now, so the writers are simply ignoring the team that ended up being the least popular. Hopefully though we will get to see them used again at some point, but I'm not holding my breath.

I know what you're saying, but you're comparing the games to the anime. The Pokemon in the games don't have the personalities their anime counterparts have. Plus, the anime ones have been part of the cast for a while by the time they leave. Ash doesn't trade them in every few episodes. Thus, we miss them like how we miss Misty or May. That is why I posted the question.

On a different note, my fanfic about Hikozaru (Chimchar) and Lizardon (Charizard) is on Chapter 8. I can't wait to post it.
