Bayleef has got to be one of the most underrated Ash mons. She's not the strongest battler, but her personality was one of the strongest of an of his mons and was hands down one of the funniest. She was the standout on Ash's Johto team And is the reason the Chikorita line are my favorite Pokemon to this day
How is Bayleef one of the most underrated when as you said, "she was the standout on Ash's johto team". Sure Charizard was Ash's ace but comparing Bayleef is a little unfair.
@@ProfessorAlexSilver I gotta say, that was a keen observation you made that ashes acceptance of rockruffs and his other Pokemon’s flaws really was a strong indicator of his readiness to be a champion
Heh. Ah, Bayleef... Ash's most adorable Pokémon ever... Her crush was annoying at first, but, once she evolved and learned to control her emotions, she became a likable character, and her crush... We didn't mind it. Any interactions they had, especially their reunions, were always adorable and some of the best in the series. Her battles were good, too, especially against Chuck, Houndoom, and Delaney's Poliwrath. I wish, though, she would have returned to battle/interact in later moments like the Battle Arena and even the Veilstone City Arc in Sinnoh. I could have seen her and Maylene's Lucario interacting, given her and Lucario's similar struggles with their trainer's understandings... I think their interaction and personalities would have been cool to see meet. Overall, Bayleef was a great and memorable character, whose love for Ash will never be forgotten... And we don't mind that. 😄
21:40 73%?! That’s impressive for a Pokémon who isn’t even an ace. Honestly, I think many people undermine Bayleef’s power. Sure, she’s not an ace. But after watching this video, I can definitely say people need to respect Bayleef more. Bayleef is an awesome simp.
When I was a kid chikorita was my favorite pokemon so I was disappointed when she evolved, but now as an adult I wish she went all the way! Definitely one of Ash's most underrated pokemon, her arc was great and having her as Ash's ace as a meganium could have greatly improved meganiums reputation
The main reason why sceptile is Ash best grass type pokémon is because he beat darkcry when I seen that I was like oh my God Tobias was already cheating coming the competition with legendaries and he bet everybody in the whole competition with just that one pokémon we didn't get to see that second pokémon until Ash secptile beat dark cry and then ash Pikachu lost to that latios that was a cheating ass competition
Thank you Professor Silver, I wanted to see a video on Ash’s Bayleef for so long. This video did definitely did Bayleef justice. Also wished She evolved into Meganium and ended up with Sceptile. Your videos are dope
It was cute how when Ash visited his Pokemon at Oak's place, Bayleef was always at the front of the pack. Even as a Chikorita, she developed a clear attachment to him. I wasn't a fan of that Johto episode where Ash basically told it to go away. Pretty out of character for him.
What wild weather Johto was having the day Ash caught Chikorita- warm enough for Chikorita to sunbathe one minute, then a full blown blizzard the next 😂
Chikorita/Bayleef in the anime is the reason I grew to really like the line over the years. I always have a soft spot to use it in my johto playthroughs, meta relevance be damned.
I still feel Bayleef should have fully evolved into Meganium, and have her be a sort of foil to Ash's Charizard, being a fully evolved starter that still obeyed him, showing his growth both as a trainer and with her.
Also, I do agree with you that Bayleef could have evolved into Meganium to help out Sceptile... It seemed like the writers were hinting at it, too... Bayleef met Ash with a Nurse Joy in a wild reserve area... Evolved to protect someone she cared about... Had a bonding episode soon after... And won the next badge/symbol Ash had... And even Bayleef and Sceptile's bonding episodes with Ash were similar... Chased by Beedrill... A Pokémon goes down a running stream... And helped by a elderly person... The clues were there... Let's not forget who owned the Meganium Sceptile got a crush on...😊
I found your channel yesterday and I found it's missing Ash's Bayleef. And guess what - you uploaded right now! 😀😮 You're magician 😀 Thumb up and watching 😀
For me personally, Bayleef was one of Ash's most memorable Pokemon in the Johto Journeys arc. Although she never got to become the ace of Ash's Johto team, I'm honestly fine with that, mostly because that arc of the series had a mixture of all the Pokemon Ash caught up until that point, and even then, she still arguably got more attention than the rest of his Johto team. My biggest disappointment is that she never got to evolve into a Meganium, mostly because in hindsight, at least one of the starter Pokemon Ash catches each region tends to fully evolve; having said that, I think that the main reason why she never got to reach her final stage as a Meganium is because of one simple reason: it would have made her too girly of a Pokemon for Ash to own, especially in a series that's arguably more marketed towards boys than girls. That isn't to say she was the only notable female Pokemon Ash ever owned, as we also have Unfezant, Snivy, and Dragonite off the top of my head, but those Pokemon are also notably much more gender neutral than Bayleef, and by extension, Meganium are, and Ash has also never been the type to prefer more girly and feminine Pokemon, either. That being said, Bayleef was still one of the most consistently cute and adorable Pokemon Ash ever owned, and despite never getting to be a "true" ace on his team, her feats in my opinion arguably make her the closest to having earned that title overall, especially with how frequently she got to appear and she had some pretty impressive wins as well
@@syzorstgym performance and Beyleef had much better endurance than pikachu Beyleef was a beast in the fighting gym also was decent in the tournament also the fact that she defeated houndoom line
Personally, I found watching Bayleef grow in both power and maturity one of the most appealing things to see in the Johto Saga. I also find it's affection for Ash very much endearing to the point where I consider it one of the most noticeable precense amongst Ash's reserves. I also wish she had evolved, but my brother despises Meganium and thinks Bayleef is better off as she is.
I didn’t realize just how adorable Bayleef was when I was a kid. Looking back, it’s so sad that she had to get sidelined, because she loved Ash SO much. I actually understand this on a very deep level, because I’m a fairly young male, and even when I was much younger, ALL THE WAY until now, it has ALWAYS been female animals, mostly dogs and cats, who have shown me the most love and companionship. Of course, the male pets and animals have also been super chill, really sweet, and have also been able to seek out my good nature, but there’s something different about the female animals. It’s like they REALLY try to make it a point to show me that they know what kind of person I am deep down. They don’t just appreciate the good nature that they sense, it’s almost like they feel the pain I feel when I wake up and try my best to live my life. And when they get over their fears (normally they’ve been neglected, abused, or rescued, and they hate men), it’s like they try to save me as much as they feel saved themselves. It’s honestly almost inexplicably heartwarming
I still wished Ash's Bayleaf had evolved into Meganium before Ash and Pikachu left the series forever because it deserved to evolved at last and finally learn some powerful moves like Petal Dance, Petal blizzard, Solar Beam and Frenzy Plant . Plus it would be funny and hilarious to see as Meganium jump on Ash for affection.
Me too. Bayleef is the main reason why Sceptile became the first main protagonist Grass starter to fully evolve. What's wrong with Ash owning a Meganium?! Also, she really needs a better moveset that is not a copy-paste of Bulbasaur's.
If Bayleaf evolved and were to utilize moves like sweet scent, light screen and attract she would've been extremely dangerous for the league and late series run. Ash would use her every battle.
I was hoping it might've evolved when she returned in Sinnoh with the rest of Ash's previous pokemon, heck his Cyndaquil was able to when it was brought back.
This is why I like red more than Ash, because even though red isn’t perfect, at least he tries to be a better trainer and he’s not the only one, even Lucas also Hilbert are way better than ash anyway
The Chikorita-Bayleef-Meganium evolution is one of those cases where the show was better than the games. It was hella challenging conquering Johto with Chikorita as a starter.
Was Black & White the first time he had 2 female Pokemon? His Snivy was female because of its attract and his Unvesnt was female because Snivy failed to use attract on her when she was a pidove and Unvesnt has a gender difference
17:20 That would have been the perfect time for Bayleef to evolve. Both her and Poliwrath looked too tired to fight. But, they could have had Bayleef not want to give up. So, instead of the match ending in a tie, Bayleef could have evolved and won the battle as Meganium
I didn’t realize she got so many wins! I really would have liked to see Bayleef evolve and also cynaquil to evolve during johto. I think those really were ash’s aces.
One of my favorite ash Pokémon from johto! The I happen to like the chikirita line, though it may not be the best starter choice but it still is a good traveling companions like in the heart gold & soul silver games, it walks around with you and ash’s bayleaf is a good example, I also like how Bayleaf was able to do well in battle pleasing her so called dream boy ash (if you know what I mean?) was her motivation in battle I imagine her getting jealous of the other pokegirls if ash were to go on a date with one of his female traveling companions, also people like paul and Burgundy would disapprove ash’s bayleaf for simping on ash bayleaf tacking ash makes her like a 31st Tauros which I think was funny and adorable, and I love ash’s interactions with his bayleaf, it would be interesting if bayleaf would evolve and would could make a powerful battler but I think bayleaf wants to stay as a bayleaf and if she were a meganium she would probably crush as to death if she tackled him, lastly I think bayleaf had more focus than any of ash’s other johto Pokémon and all need more development and that’s what brought ash’s johto team other than the fact he relied on his older Pokémon at the time while he was in johto.
Some of my favourite moments of Bayleef are her dominant victory over Chuck and her win in the Extreme Pokemon race against Gary and his Arcanine. It's really unfortunate that she didn't battle at all after the Johto series, a battle or two in the Battle Frontier or in the Sinnoh league would have been perfect. Also, I've never thought about it, but a relationship with Sceptile would've been a funny growth of character and it would cement the Chikorita line as Sceptile's type lol.
Ash was such a jerk in “Turning Over A New Bayleaf”. I felt like Bayleaf giving Sh the cold shoulder throughout the episode was well deserved after Ash was being a Paul lie jerk to his own Pokémon. You’d expect this cruel behavior from Paul but not Ash.
@@ProfessorAlexSilver this is one of my least favorite episodes in Pokémon and for good reason. At least Ash does get some well deserved punishment by Bayleaf giving him the cold shoulder.

true i dont think he meant to though i just think he didn't want her or the others to get burned by the hot food. even if it was expressed the wrong way.
Gamefreak. Even from people who prefer Typhlosion or Feraligatr, you’ve heard the pleas. Give Meganium something. Mega, regional variant, wider movepool… anything!! 😫
Just Rowlet left for ash grass starter. Bayleaf one of ash iconic mons no joke. In the better timeline, her and all of ash mon would of shine in journey but nope Also 14:07 seeing the old art compare to the new art is night and day
How come we didn't see Bayleef fully evolve into Meganium heck even Cyndaquill and Totodile didn't get the same kind of attention as Ash's Charizard in the Jhoto arc?
The writers really should have known that Bayleef was the main reason why Sceptile was the first main protagonist Grass starter to fully evolve in the anime, as well as Meganium is more preferable for Ash.
Will Larvitar be next someday on the list? even though it was never captured or owned by Ash, it has been remembered by the writers of the anime on some occasions.
Out of curiosity, can someone please tell me the name of the OST that plays when Ash’s Chikorita evolves into Bayleaf? I for the life of me can’t find it. It also plays for Brocks Golbat -> Crobat as well as May’s Combusken -> blaziken.
Which Pokemon should we tackle next?? Also...go to aura.com/alexsilver to get a 14-day free trial to Aura!
Ash hawlucha
Jessie seviper

Now I'm just imagining Bayleef and Serena getting into catfights over Ash and him being completely oblivious XD
That'd be hilarious lol
I want Chikorita to kick her ass
Chikorita and beyleaf got more love in the anime than it did in its home region
It's sad that it is the case
So did Pokémon X and Y
Just wish Meganiun could say the same 😢
@@ProfessorAlexSilver with that there is also Brock's Sudowodo which is terrible in the games but great in the anime

I’d say some of Ash’s underated Pokemon would be Swellow’ Kingler’ Laevany
That part where Bayleaf slapped Ash’s hand I felt like Ash deserved that after being such a jerk
Of he deserves it! He made her cry after just learned not tackle him
To be fair her tackling him happen so many times to count he was still being a jerk tho
Ash realized he was wrong. Bayleef forgave Ash so why can’t we?
He was pretty mean in Johto at times ngl

Agreed
Its more commonly seen as male
The anime always make me like Pokemon more in game

I do like your idea of Bayleef's story tying into Sceptile's, what a missed opportunity. Great as always Professor!
Thanks!! I've re watched the show so many times I could rewrite it ten times over
Bayleaf is one of Ash’s best grass types right up there with Secptile.
Why didn't become a Meganium???
The main reason why sceptile is Ash best grass type pokémon is because he beat darkcry when I seen that I was like oh my God Tobias was already cheating coming the competition with legendaries and he bet everybody in the whole competition with just that one pokémon we didn't get to see that second pokémon until Ash secptile beat dark cry and then ash Pikachu lost to that latios that was a cheating ass competition

You should change it to, Chikorita: Ash’s first female Pokemon!
I am pretty sure his first female Pokemon was Lapras
Was Black & White the first time he had 2 female Pokemon? His Snivy was female because of its attract and his Unvesnt was female because Snivy failed to use attract on her when she was a pidove and Unvesnt has a gender difference
Been waiting by for this video so long thanks so much for making and posting this!
Hope it's worth the wait!

Yup 😭
I think it’s a crime this thing didn’t become a Meganium and learn Return.
I was surprised when Chicarita evolved but I kind of wish Bayleef evolved further into Meganium. She would’ve been stronger.
One of my favorite, if not my #1, Ash Pokémon in the anime.
Hope I did her justice then 😁

Definitely up there 😎
Bayleef is strong and cutest pokemon in series. I love the storyline of Bayleef ❤❤😊😊
Same 😎
What's up with Bayleef clinging itself towards Ash and how it's jealous of Pikachu being near him? Was this like Starter Pokémon chooses the trainer?
Amazing mon
Agreed!
Just Rowlet left for ash grass starter. Bayleaf one of ash iconic mons no joke. In the better timeline, her and all of ash mon would of shine in journey but nope
Also 14:07 seeing the old art compare to the new art is night and day
One of Best Ash's underrated battlers
Much agreed
oh man forgot about sceptile depression and her evolving and cheering him up would have been cool oh well
I know right? I wish we could've seen it
Great video. My wish for Bayleef to evolve to Maganium
Just the other night, I was hoping to find this
Bayleef doesn’t just love Ash, she’s obsessed.
Was so let down she didn't get a sinnoh league comeback
How come we didn't see Bayleef fully evolve into Meganium heck even Cyndaquill and Totodile didn't get the same kind of attention as Ash's Charizard in the Jhoto arc?
Blame the writers man
The writers really should have known that Bayleef was the main reason why Sceptile was the first main protagonist Grass starter to fully evolve in the anime, as well as Meganium is more preferable for Ash.
Bayleefs moveset may be mid but it's got a good win rate for sure
My daughter’s all time favorite Pokemon line.
The original 👑 of Ash's Pokemon 💚🍃!!
If only she matched Charizard in power
i wish that bayleef somehow followed ash into another battle frontier where it will evolve into a meganium just like when phanpy did!
Imagine if bayleef met Serena
That'd be a battle for the ages
Do The History of Ash's Rowlet next please.
that bayleef loved him to an unhealthy degree
17:33 Speaking of which, Gary's Arcanine should be next.
On the list!
Will Larvitar be next someday on the list? even though it was never captured or owned by Ash, it has been remembered by the writers of the anime on some occasions.
I'll definitely cover it in the future video
Hope you're having a good day
You too Tyler!
Im ready for lesson today Professor 🫡

Back at you from the USA!
My headcanon is that Bayleef didn't want to evolve to avoid being yelled at by ash again
wish Bayleef evolved into Maganium would be funny seeing it snuggle with Ash .
Out of curiosity, can someone please tell me the name of the OST that plays when Ash’s Chikorita evolves into Bayleaf? I for the life of me can’t find it.
It also plays for Brocks Golbat -> Crobat as well as May’s Combusken -> blaziken.
