Just like Tepig in BW, and Charmander in the Original Series, I wanted to see one of the few unwanted trainers who released Froakie to Prof. Sycamore. (Prob they want chespin) What do you think? Do the writers want to have an episode like that?
 
it gives good insight and some points for "life lessons". as for wanting ti have such an episode, id figure that theyd want to tell the back story if something were to happen with froakie (such as chimchar's meltdown in DP)
 
I don't think it matters. All the others, they had to overcome some issue to get over their original trainer. Froakie has no such compunction. It even returned ITSELF a few of those times. As for proving that trainer made a selfish mistake, this isn't just one trainer, it's many. Even if you wanted to single one of them out to represent the lot, I don't see what good it would do. Froakie got over it, that's all that matters to me. I don't think this plot is going to repeat itself here.
 
I love the way they always portray people who dispose of weak Pokemon as bad, but don't we all do it?
If I get a starter that is rubbish, I reset the game and get a new one, isn't this the same idea, didn't know I was a villain :( ?
 
I think it would be good, as long as we don't get a reprise of Paul and other trainers like him.
For once, I think it would be interesting to portray the "releaser" in a more good light instead of the usual jerk type. Froakie had multiple trainers he refused to obey, definitely not the best choice for a beginner who is not ready to deal with the situation. For a change, write the release to be more comprehensible for the trainer and Ash to eventually understand his viewpoint, instead of, you know, pointing to the trainer and instantly label him as a monster for the audience.

I think it would be interesting if they showed one of its past trainers whom he abandoned.

It would provide a neat twist on an reused story.

The thing is, Froakie wasn't abandoned because he was weak. In fact, it's the opposite.

He didn't listen to his trainers and battled on his own, refusing to take orders. Rookie trainers couldn't handle him, and this shows Froakie is clearly not rookie material. He refused his previous trainers, and they gave up on him since he was just too much.

Also, Froakie chose Ash. There's a difference between a trainer choosing their pokemon, and the pokemon choosing their trainer. Froakie saw Ash battle Clemont in the first episode - and I bet he was impressed with Ash's battle strategies and how he was reliable the way he treated Pikachu.


Maybe, just as many trainers dislike weak pokemon, perhaps pokemon dislike weak trainers as well.


I'd like to see Froakie's backstory on how he abandoned trainers he thought weren't good enough for him. It's new and interesting that way.
 
What if the trainer was the Girl Trainer who knows Ash?! Epic Plot Twist! image.jpg (This girl)

Can't say that I blame the anime for frowning upon that. There's a difference between resetting a game and abusing a living thing, which in the context of the anime, such trainers are doing.

Indeed. Actually, this is what I thought would have happened with Snivy since she had left her trainer for being terrible, but nope, they never went anywhere with that.
 
I'd like to see at least one of the ex-trainers Froakie abandoned, though I don't think they will go much into that.

I wonder if there is a reason he originally was so strict about who his trainer was, maybe something happened to him before he started getting trainers that he abandoned?
 
It could be interesting, but I don't think it's necessary. Froakie already seemed to be over it by the time it chose Ash to be its trainer. Plus, Froakie wasn't really abandoned like with Charmander, Chimchar and Tepig. It was more similar to Snivy in that it left its trainer, the main difference being that Froakie had done this multiple times. Seeing its first trainer and how he or she responded to what was suppose to be their first Pokemon abandoning them affected them such as how they handle Pokemon now could be interesting. It would be a more unique take than simply the Pokemon dealing with their abandonment issues.
 
If they try it again, it will be about either evolution, or to "seal" Froakie with an argument which will make it never evolve. This time, they are more than one though, and it is not about a Fire-type, but I can see it happen. It will still not be as important plot-wise as Chimchar and Paul were.
 
I dont like how they are demonizing the trainers because froakie was a disobidient and unreliable POS.
 
Like most others here. I think it would be interesting to see how Froakie rejected its old trainers. But like Snivy, Froakie rejected its trainers, because they was weak. The same with Snivy, and we did never see Snivy's old trainer, because its probably isn't more to the pokemon rejecting trainer thing other than the pokemon leaving the trainer, because the trainer wasn't good enough. But they could maybe made a episode where one of Froakie old trainers wanting to become Froakie's trainer again, because the old trainer was stronger now and just couldn't let a strong pokemon like Froakie go? But that would just be like any of the others episodes with the abonded fire starters, just reversed with the trainer and the pokemon. A trainer wanting to prove himself to his old pokemon, instead of the pokemon who always wanted to prove to its trainer that it was strong. It could maybe be interesting though. But right now I will say probably no, we will not see Froakie's old trainers, I think.

At least one of them might appear at some point. Given Froakie's popularity, I doubt they'd leave out his backstory. Who knows? We might have a Paul v.2 but this time it's the pokemon that rejected its trainer. The trainer wants Froakie back, but Froakie doesn't like weak trainers and the usual drama. It would be an interesting twist.
 
We didn't see Snivy's so I don't think we'll see Froakie's. Or we will and wont be told, the randomer may not know it use to be their Froakie lmao

We did, in fact, see Snivy's original trainer.

With that said, I'd say there's at least a possibility of this happening as well. As said, it could be interesting for the group to meet the trainer(s) that the Pokémon abandoned for once. Then this time around, the trainer will ask Ash to give Froakie back; Ash will have a hard time doing what he thinks may be the right thing to do, while Froakie doesn't take that offer lightly, and then it leads to a battle to settle the dispute.

Actually no, we didn't see its trainer, only Tepig's. However, just because we didn't see Snivy's trainer doesn't mean we won't see Froakie's. We've seen Charmander's and Tepig's, so I don't think it's fair to count out the option just yet.
