@@jamalbruna4121 torterra was done dirty upon fully evolving. It didn't win a single major fight at all, which was terrible. If ur gonna fully evolve a Pokemon, make it actually win a few battles.
@@xxAryAryxx at some point they quickly stopped developing Pikachu or even giving him episodes dedicated to him. He was just Ash’s right hand who was almost never problematic. Fortunately he got some scenes in Alola and Journeys to show he’s an actual character who can grow.
May's situation with her Pokemon reflected her growth as a character. She started off as a girl that didn't like them to a skilled Coordinator. Her Torchic, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur evolving showed that she was getting stronger and kept on growing.
Yeah but squirtle and bulbasaur didn’t even evolve in the hoenn and battle frontier series, and combusted literally evolved with 2 episodes left in the battle frontier
I don't get why people like dawn over may when they are the same character I guess people either watched diamond and pearl first or like dawn's character design more
Meanwhile some worst companion Pokemon: Misty- Goldeen (totally forgettable) Brock- Geodude (didn't do much compared to steelix) Dawn- Mamoswine (Charizard 2.0. no one else on Dawn's team had disobedience issues. Charizard's obedience change to obeying ash was handled better imo ) Iris- Axew (it wanted to evolve but never did and at times it was a bit annoying) Cilan- stunfisk (trash in battle mostly) Clemont- chespin (wish it evolved like the other kalos starters)
Nice list! And too be fair, Kiawe's Charizard has been stated to be old so it's not much up for too many battles hence why Kiawe mainly uses it for transportation.
He probably could’ve beaten Gladion if he’d used Charizard instead of Marowak. I really liked Marowak, but it’s clearly Kiawe’s weakest ‘mon. He can’t compare to Turtonator OR Charizard.
My favorite part of this gag was when the gang all tried to support Gible and Piplup felt abondoned and left. So while looking for Piplup, Gible uses Draco Meteor, and everyone goes to where it fell, aware of what was happening, and at the same time Gible knocked out Team Rocket.
I really think that Brock’s Croagunk should’ve been in the top five. He was funny as he took on the role of stopping Brock’s flirting, he was a bit creepy at times because he could sometimes tell when Team Rocket was setting a trap, and he had an epic rivalry with Saturn’s Toxicroak! It IS sad that we didn’t see their battles much, but it was still a cool idea!
Looking at Mallow's Shaman I just remembered how sad I was that it left. Not because it was useful but because literally EVERYONE LEFT MALLOW. I felt so sorry for her because even her own Pokémon left her. It was just sad.
@@eljordinio7647 Mallow was even left behind by the writers. She was the first person that Ash really met in Alola, and I really thought that meant she would be important, but she went absolutely nowhere and never caught a Pokémon. Why should she have to give up Shaymin?
@@GatorOne-in7hk yeah honestly mallow was really a good character that didn’t have as much screen time as I would have liked her to have. But Ash’s whole Alola crew had a severe lack of Pokémon catching for there to be 5 of them.
I can agree with Zac on this. Not only is Go pretty new but unlike all the others who have more than one Pokemon (minus Max, Bonnie and RD) he doesn't seem to have much of a team I mean scorbunny's his main Pokemon and Cubone might become a more permanent member considering the circumstances of it's capture, but most of the Pokemon he catches don't even get much, if not any development. They just get randomly caught, sit there at Professor S's institute and maybe get used once or twice, but that's it. I get that his goal is to catch every Pokemon but seeing go with a proper team wouldn't hurt
@@eljordinio7647 I'm sure he'll get a proper team, and who knows, even if he has a lot of Pokemon some might get some more characterization like his Scyther.
@@thejohn4063 that'll be hard for the writers to do if it gets to around the same amount of Pokemon that Ash has, if not more. They might struggle to give characterization to all his mons given the fact that there are heaps of plot points to get through, Ash needs to get new team members after getting Gengar recently, there's the world championship, Ash needs to beat Leon soon, go and koharu need more development, etc.
@@eljordinio7647 Whoa whoa, all in due time. We still have 130+ episodes to go through. I don't think ALL of Go's Pokemon will get characterization, but I'm sure some will. Like next episode, Scorbunny will try to learn a fire-type move, and it seems Darmanitan will try to teach him based on the preview, so we might get to see some of it's personality. Defeating Leon is far off, and I doubt Ash needs a full team yet. As for Koharu and Go's character development, Go's been good so far, but I admit I think it's taking more time then I'd prefer on Koharu's.
Honestly, I was happy that Ash and Krookidile defeated Iris and Dragonite not just because Dragonite was a jerk, but because I think this was the first time Ash ever won a battle against Iris.
wait a second I thought Iris was a beginner lol how couldn't Ash beat her before? (I recently got back into Pokemon and I left off at DP so I barely know anything about the seasons afterwards)
@@grace4683 iris was also a bit annoying by calling Ash a kid for literally anything. Not to mention she never evolved her axew, which is stupid BECAUSE IT WANTED TO EVOLVE!! It's not like Ash's Pikachu or Dawn's Piplup who wanted nothing to do with evolving. It totally would have helped with Iris's dragon master goal. Plus we could have seen her use something she has in the games
@@eljordinio7647 I see..I've seen a lot of people not liking her (instead a lot of people like Serena from what I have seen). Would you suggest watching Black and White? Or should I jump straight into XY? But at the same time I don't want to miss any references that could be made in XY about B&W 🤔
@@ryanonly8545 it hasn't had much of a shining moment outside cerise park except when it got caught, but it's at least shown to have potential like scyther, golurk, beedrill and Raboot, but unlike the rest
the moment I remember about May's Blaziken is that badass battle against ash's Sceptile, that battle always gave me chills watching it back then and it stayed with me ever since
Iris catching Dragonite as much believable as Dawn catching Togekiss and Misty catching Gyarados, unlike Dawn and Misty it wasn't so easy for Iris to control Dragonite.
@@J2ojuiced95 misty put herself in danger to save Gyarados and that's all, but Iris also put herself in danger to calm the rough dragonite which can be as dangerous if not more dangerous than Gyarados as she was locked up with him, she help him to get away from false accusation and even connect with his heart to know what actually happened, but still it takes lots of episode for her to earn the trust from dragonite, she has the most struggle compared to any companions to gain the trust of own Pokemons.
@@davidanthonymercado7064 Dawn get a powerful fully evolved Pokemon and she need to just get herself sync with Togekiss style which she done in just 1 episode.
Well Gyarados didn't exactly listen to Misty at first cos of how mad it was, and I don't think togekiss meant to disobey Dawn since she did technically follow her commands but cos she was raised by a princess, she does like to put a bit of style into her moves, so togekiss I can excuse at least
Every Pokémon rival reviewed in 10 words or less. I know he already did a top 5 of Ash’s rivals, but it’d be cool to see how they all stack up against each other if you include ash’s companions’ rivals. That or Ash’s companions themselves since you covered their pokemon Still an awesome video, Zac
Well some people do seem to hate Delphox cos of it's design, like MandJTV. Me, ok I'm not a huge fan of the massive amount of earhair Delphox has but other than that I don't have much to complain about it. I think a witch or mage was a good concept to go with for it
Dawn's Piplup is pretty much up there with the likes of Pikachu and Meowth for Pokémon that have personality, have a lot of exposure, and don't have to rely on a gag. (Like Wobbuffet, for example, who gets a lot of exposure but is just for a gag.) (Or Croagunk, for example, who I think is a top tier contender for having a good personality and unique moments and development, but also had that gag with jabbing Brock.) The thing is, Piplup is the very first Pokémon we see besides Ash and Richie's Pikachu that didn't like being in its ball and as such spent its time getting the same style of development and relevance to the episodes as Pikachu itself got. And BECAUSE Sinnoh is definitely the best written and developed region in the anime [fight me], it made it all the easier for Piplup to shine as a standout companion Pokémon. I mean, just look at 2 other highly rated Pokémon that had good personality, Croagunk and Sudowoodo, they got plenty of exposure from Brock's end but weren't as uniquely situated as Piplup to be marketed the right way and fell a little short of top tier, but they got all of that in Sinnoh. Plus, it helps that Piplup is the god damn cutest addition to starter Pokémon but it had a sassiness AND a bravery to it that juxtaposed just perfectly.
*hears May's Japanese theme in the background* 😍 Personally May's Blaziken is my favorite Pokemon out of any companion I've seen, I love it so much. But also I can't deny that Dawn's Piplup is fantastic due to his personality! Man I miss Ash's companions, I really want them back in the future!
Stunfisk and Palpitoad were keeping Oshawott from getting the plant it needed from the bottom of the lake to help heal everyone else, so at the moment, the catches were important.
1:18 Well... 1) I think a Better question would be! "Is Brock a Fire Type Trainer now!?" #Vulpix 😄😂 2) Marshtomp is also a Ground Type! Brock is a Rock and Ground Type Trainer! 😄
HeavyDonkeyKong I gotchu, this anime isn’t too story driven or hard to follow, so u could try to watch an episode here n there when u have the time as it’s not something that needs a lot of focus on like other anime
Ash: i want to become the greatest pokemon trainer in the world! Kiawe: i wish to become a fire type trail captain so that i can protect my island Lana : hehe big bubble
Underrating my man Bunnelby. Might not be a powerhouse like Luxray, but the backstory, the maturity, whatever he had going on with Sylveon...I like Serena, but I think they might have been the best couple to come out of the Kalos series
Why does everybody hate Ash's Palpitoad? It didnt even do anything wrong. It won some important matches, it was strong, it has a unique typing for Ash and I loved the idea that Ash caught it just because it was strong and not because of some emotional moment (not everything needs to have a build-up). His Palpitoad was my second favourite Unova capture right after Krookodile.
The best part of Pokemon Anime series are catching Pokemon and evolved them from either Ash's team or one of his friends, but the worst bit is released one of the Pokemon from either Ash's team or one of his friends and not every Pokemon evolved liked Ash's Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Snivy, Oshawott and Rowlet for example thanks to the Japanese writers.
Lana is one of the worst characters Eevee made everyone hype because Ash was finally gonna get a Eevee but then Lana gets it for no reason and I hated how she got so much shine
Fun Fact: This Goldeen was actually in Smash bros and inspired to be that goldeen. casual smash players got angry cause of Goldeen, i also got angry back in brawl before becoming the competitor and main min min
1- when did Iris catch gibble ??... Stressing my mind but can't recall 2- clemont's bunnelby wasn't electric type but it used wile charge...so perfect match for his team 3- piplup deserves to best Ash's companion Pokemon 4- stunfisk worst Pokemon lol... I still remember how others used to step their feet over it 😂
@@dahliajamison6253 all the female Pokemon had bows on in their ultra guardians outfits, including primarina so yeah, it's a girl. Plus just look at it.
3:36 Not as annoying as in the ultra sun and ultra moon games though. It gave out information I already know, and it keeps repeating that info on every encounter I face.
I love this Chespin, he deserved another storyline, maybe if he was Ash's we would have seen him for a longer time eating his food, it would be funny because Ash is always hungry so they match 😂
I know you hate Team Rocket, but I hope you do an every Team Rocket Pokémon reviewed episode. You gotta admit, Pokémon like Victreebel, Seviper, and Mimikyu were pretty cool. And no one can forget about Arbok and Weezing.
I have an idea for a future video. Ash’s top 10 Pokémon that show potential. It would somewhat be like Ash’s underrated Pokémon, but with more focus on how they can be improved. For example, Ash’s Heracross is underrated, but does not need improvement because it’s already fantastic. I also wouldn’t call Ash’s Scraggy or Corphish underrated, as both are great battlers, but they could be better. Same with Palpitoad. No one ever talks about how much Palpitoad could take a hit because the anime refused to use it. If anyone could do this video, it would be you.
Torterra NEEDS to be on here cos after evolving, it didn't win as much as it did when it was a turtwig. Only won against Candace's Sneasel as a grotle and that was it after evolving. Noivern, torkoal, oshawott, boldore, unfezant, Pidgeot and Noctowl need to b on here too, cos they didn't win much in battle, if not at all. For a few of these entries, one thing is obvious. LET THEM EVOLVE!! For all of them, a way to improve them is let them win more in battle
Oh yeah... May's Blaziken was always awesome for me... One thing kinda bugs me about it evolving so late too though... Kind of a missed opportunity by the writers of a possible "bromance" between he and Ash's Sceptile... Just saying.
Kiawes Charizard started getting development a bit too late, I think what they did with it was pretty good (especially in the mist episode) but considering it was a Kahunas pokemon it really should have been one of Kiawes power houses
@@davidanthonymercado7064 I never really thought about it, but I do see that. Oak called Tracey's Scyther old in Showdown at the Oak Corral I believe, and Kiawe's Charizard is getting on in years too.
Prior to journeys Ash would never get an older gen Pokemon unless it has an evolution from whatever region he was in at the time, hence gliscor in sinnoh
It would be difficult for Gary though, because he caught several different kinds of Pokémon and I think that only Umbreon, Electivire, and Blastoise get some character.
I can't spell lol
It's ok :)
@Lisa Griffiths actually he couldn't because this video was talking about Ash' COMPANION'S pokemon not ash's pokemon

Ash: i want to become the greatest pokemon trainer in the world!
Kiawe: i wish to become a fire type trail captain so that i can protect my island
Lana : hehe big bubble
Lana: I want to be an ocean explorer!
I honestly thought that Misty’s Starmie was gonna get a lower rating.
3:30: this is gonna make Zac really mad.
Look at Sophocles’s name
Thanks!
Jokes on you he said thanks
"Thank God it didn't evolve into delphox"
Pokemon journeys:😈
I completely agree with Piplup’s rating. Super underrated. It is so cute and the fact that he gets jealous of Cyndaquil early on is so wholesome.
I guess Bonnie didn’t know squishy was a tiny piece of zygarde
Meanwhile in Ultimate Journeys: Hey, Braixen, do you wanna be featured in 1 circus episode of Journeys, as a Delphox?
Underrating my man Bunnelby. Might not be a powerhouse like Luxray, but the backstory, the maturity, whatever he had going on with Sylveon...I like Serena, but I think they might have been the best couple to come out of the Kalos series
Piplup will always be my favorite pokemon! :)
Why does everybody hate Ash's Palpitoad? It didnt even do anything wrong. It won some important matches, it was strong, it has a unique typing for Ash and I loved the idea that Ash caught it just because it was strong and not because of some emotional moment (not everything needs to have a build-up).
His Palpitoad was my second favourite Unova capture right after Krookodile.
Well to b fair he hardly used it. It was used and seen the least out of his whole unova team so he didn't get much development
Heartwarming thumbnail
The best part of Pokemon Anime series are catching Pokemon and evolved them from either Ash's team or one of his friends, but the worst bit is released one of the Pokemon from either Ash's team or one of his friends and not every Pokemon evolved liked Ash's Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Snivy, Oshawott and Rowlet for example thanks to the Japanese writers.
Zac: He's got a BONE to pick with.
*Megalovainia intensifies
Dawn is cool herself but Buizel is really best with Ash
I didnt even remember about Venonats radar eyes🤣🤣🤣
4:51 Look at Shaymin's eyes.
Mallow's Shaymin honestly kinda reminds me of the dog named Socks from the Japanese live-action movie '10 Promises to My Dog'.
Skipping Goh was a good idea,he has like a million pokemon
The Torchick line might not have been my favorite Hoenn starter if it wasn't for May's Torchick/Combusken/Blaziken. I owe her flaming chicken a lot.
Hello there
Just realized misty’s goldeen doesn’t eat in the series with the rest of the pokemon (I don’t think)
"Cilan Junior"
Accurate, that Pansage is Green Boi's adopted son pretty much
"Just as a troll as entity mays"
I died 😂😂😂
2:56 this aged well
Buneary: "Pikachu's bae."
YES!
2:56 Well shit. That aged... Weirdly
Brock’s forretress, May’s Blaziken, and Dawn’s piplup: wonderful, showstopping, heartwarming, amazing, deserves the world and more-
Lana is one of the worst characters Eevee made everyone hype because Ash was finally gonna get a Eevee but then Lana gets it for no reason and I hated how she got so much shine
But right now, we really hope it evolves into Vaporeon lol
U know what, now that I think about it, she kinda is. And she was kinda annoying with her wild stories
I love the Tag 2 Electric boogaloo reference in 2:36
I'm actually early holy shit. Zac you are awesome
Thank you :D
@@Zactoshi Hey you are a big inspiration, I was thinking of being a Poketuber someday
Fun Fact: This Goldeen was actually in Smash bros and inspired to be that goldeen. casual smash players got angry cause of Goldeen, i also got angry back in brawl before becoming the competitor and main min min
Quilava is my fave pokemon, so Dawn's Quilava is one of my favorites.
Croagunk is probably my favourite companion pokemon ever in the anime, he's a straight up savage and I fckn loved it
1- when did Iris catch gibble ??... Stressing my mind but can't recall
2- clemont's bunnelby wasn't electric type but it used wile charge...so perfect match for his team
3- piplup deserves to best Ash's companion Pokemon
4- stunfisk worst Pokemon lol... I still remember how others used to step their feet over it 😂
I came here just to see poppilo if he does not get a high score my life is worth nothing
I can live with 8
Primarina is a girl
El Jordinio no
@@dahliajamison6253 all the female Pokemon had bows on in their ultra guardians outfits, including primarina so yeah, it's a girl. Plus just look at it.
Tracey I mean **W H O!?!**
3:36 Not as annoying as in the ultra sun and ultra moon games though. It gave out information I already know, and it keeps repeating that info on every encounter I face.
Still don't understand the delphox hate. It's literally one of the best designed starters, damn man.
I just love how you always introduce tracey as 'WHO???!!!' 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this Chespin, he deserved another storyline, maybe if he was Ash's we would have seen him for a longer time eating his food, it would be funny because Ash is always hungry so they match 😂
“From a weak pathetic torching to a kick ass awesome Blazikin” i feel like that’s every single torches, not just May’s.
I know you hate Team Rocket, but I hope you do an every Team Rocket Pokémon reviewed episode. You gotta admit, Pokémon like Victreebel, Seviper, and Mimikyu were pretty cool. And no one can forget about Arbok and Weezing.
Well At least I can agree with you that dawns Piplup is the best Pokémon companion
Mallow’s Tsareene had to be the best description by far, when I first heard them say “Tsareene” I heard “Serena” and I’m glad I want the only one
If you made this list today, would Goh's Grookey be on the worst list?
I have an idea for a future video.
Ash’s top 10 Pokémon that show potential. It would somewhat be like Ash’s underrated Pokémon, but with more focus on how they can be improved. For example, Ash’s Heracross is underrated, but does not need improvement because it’s already fantastic. I also wouldn’t call Ash’s Scraggy or Corphish underrated, as both are great battlers, but they could be better. Same with Palpitoad. No one ever talks about how much Palpitoad could take a hit because the anime refused to use it. If anyone could do this video, it would be you.
Torterra NEEDS to be on here cos after evolving, it didn't win as much as it did when it was a turtwig. Only won against Candace's Sneasel as a grotle and that was it after evolving. Noivern, torkoal, oshawott, boldore, unfezant, Pidgeot and Noctowl need to b on here too, cos they didn't win much in battle, if not at all.
For a few of these entries, one thing is obvious. LET THEM EVOLVE!! For all of them, a way to improve them is let them win more in battle
Also except Bulbasaur and Pikachu, I'd put every single one of ash's Pokemon that didn't evolve. Yes, even Rowlet
1:14 1:15 Tom & Jerry White Mouse wants to know your location.
1:14 i like that meme.
Piplup 100% deserves that top spot! Everything you said about him was spot on!
Great video zac
Cilan caught stunfisk to get weed to cure other Pokemon poison cause it was not letting oshawott get the weed from underwatet
Nice Thumbnail
well lana s primorina got nuked by guzma s galisapod
Oh yeah... May's Blaziken was always awesome for me...
One thing kinda bugs me about it evolving so late too though...
Kind of a missed opportunity by the writers of a possible "bromance" between he and Ash's Sceptile... Just saying.
Kiawes Charizard started getting development a bit too late, I think what they did with it was pretty good (especially in the mist episode) but considering it was a Kahunas pokemon it really should have been one of Kiawes power houses
I honestly see a bit of Tracey’s Scyther in Kiawe’s Charizard.
@@davidanthonymercado7064 I never really thought about it, but I do see that. Oak called Tracey's Scyther old in Showdown at the Oak Corral I believe, and Kiawe's Charizard is getting on in years too.
Thanks for making piplup first place I am thankful
I liked your review very much😃
Leggo! ❤️
I think we can all agree safely that dawn’s piplup has to be number 1. Right?
Is it really that big of a deal that Ash didn't get an Eevee?
No?
I quickly grew to like Eevee as Lana's pokemon.
Prior to journeys Ash would never get an older gen Pokemon unless it has an evolution from whatever region he was in at the time, hence gliscor in sinnoh
You should rank all ash rival pokemon.
It would be difficult for Gary though, because he caught several different kinds of Pokémon and I think that only Umbreon, Electivire, and Blastoise get some character.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
