Which Pokemon should we tackle next?? Also, quick correction near the end of the video, I mentioned that Ash had only lost once to Misty but he actually lost twice. She also beat him at the Whirl Cup.
I gotta be honest with you. The reason I want to be a poketuber is because I like the idea of entertaining people. You and the other poketubers I watch opened a door for me that was previously closed. I just want to say thank you🙏
Corphish was honestly was one of my favorite of Ash's Pokémon plus I love how the Pokédex described him as the Ruffian Pokémon. He definitely felt like the Mankey of this generation
Corphish's moveset was not changed until AFTER Battle Frontier along with failing to evolve into Crawdaunt. Corphish is no longer a fitting Pokemon for Ash, but rather a Crawdaunt.
14:40 i thought I dreamt this in a fever dream, no one believed me when I said I remembered an episode where ash cheated by switching corphish out for itself to cure confusion and it actually happened!!
was that really cheating? anime doesn't play by the games rules, he's doing the equilvant of switching to another mon then throwing out the original mon again
Ash's Corphish's moveser from capture, til the end of Battle Frontier was the exact same: Crabhammer, Bubble Beam, Vise Grip, and Harden. So if Corphish did evolve, probably between the Norman and Winona Battles, i could have seen it forgetting Vise Grip, for Knock Off. Then when it returned in Aim to be a Pokémon Master, it's final moveset for the Misty match could have been: Crabhammer, Knock Off, Metal Claw, and Aqua Jet! Admittedly, i never had a huge attachment to Corphish, but if it evolved into Crawdaunt, that would have been a fun Pokémon. Crawdaunt with Corphish's personality? It's perfect!
yooo iv been waiting on this one, corphish is my favorite pokemons voice from the anime, it has so much personality for being a simple voice that repeats one line. you can tell the exact emotion it feels, and almost hear it as if it were english.
One correction though. You said that Corphish losing to Politoed was Ash’s first loss to Misty. Actually, Ash lost to her back during the Whirl Cup in Johto, with Psyduck beating Kingler, ironically.
I have watched your most of the videos and these were so much intresting that sometimes I watch the same video twice or thice 😊 thanks from bottom of my heart for making such a great video ❤
1:05 whenever ash is on a journey and runs into a pokemon multiple times he always usually knows when it’s the same pokemon if it was the same corphish he probably would have recognized it
Wahoo! Now all of Ash’s Pokémon from the Hoenn region have been covered. With Corphish, I like how the anime gave him a lot of personality and comic relief, while also showing his prowess by having him take on a lot of tough opponents. While he didn’t win every battle, it’s still nice that he had a lot of time in the spotlight. Part of me does wish that he evolved into Crawdaunt and show some character growth, though, since a dark type would’ve been an interesting addition to Ash’s team (plus Crawdaunt has a really cool design).
Thank you for covering Corphish. This pokemon has always been one of my favorites. I personally think corphish shouldn't evolve because he might lose his silly personality but it wouldn't be a big deal. His wins are very imperrisve and I wish pokemon would just show us a whole season of ash just using his past pokemon's in battles. I would love to see corphish and sceptile vs an elite four trainer and win. Probably against Sielbold and his Clawitzer and Blastoise. Hopefully Misty and her pokemon go see so her clauncher can be impressed.
I LOVED Ash's Corphish growing up. Him and Buizel are two of Ash's Pokemon. I'm glad never evolved, especially since they both beat their evolved forms.
Great vid as always, though I have to disagree with you on the inconsistent part! True, he had some questionable losses and the misty battle was definitely really dumb, but I don't think he's any more inconsistent than any of Ash's other pokemon. Buizel has roughly the same win rate and some pretty bad losses too (especially Kenny's empoleon and Bryce's steelix) and even powerhouses like Pikachu or sceptile had a lot of terrible losses to (looking at you, panpour and luvdisc!). I feel like corphish managing double wins vs flannery including her ace, double win vs the 8th gym leader Juan, league performance, and being one of the few pokemon with multiple wins vs frontier brains (who Scott suggests were around e4 level, though I find that claim a bit dubious. Still Anabelle especially was very strong) cement him as a powerhouse and make up for the losses That's just my 2 cents though, sorry for the long comment lol if you read this far keep up the great work! Really glad you are continuing to go through ash and co despite not being the protagonists anymore, keep the legacy alive!
Corphish’s win over Katie’s Golduck was pretty funny how he grabbed Golduck with a friendly handshake and then beat both Golduck and Venomoth while confused. Plus it was a shame Corphish didn’t evolve into Crawdaunt as the evolution would make Corphish stronger, as a rival to Sceptile, and made him Ash’s first dark type Pokémon.
I never understood why had a fear to evolve his Water-Types. Prior to his Greninja, the only other Water-Type that Ash had that evolved was his Kingler. I feel that Ash's Corphish should've evolved into Crawdaught at some point when he was onscreen.
I guess the writers thought that "As long as Ash's non fully evolved Water-types [aside from Kingler and Lapras] have cute designs, kids will love them more than their fully evolved counterparts". But, since everyone now hates this premise so much, it's safe to say that fully evolved Water-types are now preferable for Ash.
@@OmnicidalClown1992 I'm not sure, though I do know that Japan does love a lot of cute Pokemon (e.g., Oshawott, Buneary, Emolga) and I do like some cute mons (Azumarill is my favorite cute mon), but even a majority of fans got sick of the heavy emphasis on cuteness since it can also be detrimental in development. Corphish didn't change his moveset until after Battle Frontier and his failure against Misty's Politoed was proof that Corphish should have evolved.
Ash’s corphish is underrated, he deserves much more respect like the rest of ash’s Pokémon. Also I do hope that corphish is still friends with mays blazekin and wartortle and Brock’s ludicolo afterwards
Something you can notice along those years of Ash's journey is that none of his water types evolved (besides Kingler but he was a reserve since the beginning) until Greninja in XYZ(which also suffered from the dark typing syndrome as it never learned any dark type move, with Cut being the alternative to Night Slash since it's called Crossroad killing in japanese), and Corphish along with Buisel are some of the pokemon who suffered more from this, both fought their evolved versions and had a love for battling, and I could definitely see Corphish's rivalry with Sceptile being more highlighted than ever had he evolved into a Crawdaunt, evolving and keeping his jolly brute personality would also contribute to remove the impression of dark type pokemon as evil and nasty in the anime, such a bummer he never evolved though, he was one of my favorites in the whole anime along with Scraggy who also a victim of the dark type addition
Before even watching this I always remember corphish from ash’s gym battle with flannery when it had yawn used on it and was just getting the crap beat out of it all while asleep. like if i remember right it tanked some series hits for being unable to defend itself
what about squirtle? He was one of Ash's most reliable pokemon and has several accomplishments, which include Orange Island Gyms and Battle Frontier. Also, what about Mr. Fish, the same pokemon that Ash used to beat other Champions' pokemon?
What i find the funniest thing about Corphish his capture episode is that Ash was forced to use a trick out of Team Rocket's trick Book to capture the corphish with the Pitfalls. That moment was so funny and laughable
Corphish, alongside Buizel, should've been a water type of Ash's that evolved. I think they wanted to keep the rambunctious personality of Corphish, but I don't really see why even after evolving that he couldn't have still been silly as a Crawdaunt.
@@pn2294 Yet Corphish and Buizel were mishandled. Infernape is the main reason why Buizel suffered a lack of focus and did not become Floatzel. Floatzel also has Swift Swim as an ability like Buizel, so don't tell me that "Buizel learned Ice Punch therefore it is automatically good enough development". He may have stopped Paul's Gastrodon but his lack of focus contributed to his failure against Kenny's Empoleon and Paul's Drapion. Because Corphish did not change his moveset until AFTER Battle Frontier, his failure against Politoed proved why Crawdaunt is more preferable for Ash.
Another question 🙋♀️ Professor, I wonder 💭 if several characters grab Cilan by his green bow tie in the anime in a few episodes and 2 of the Black and White movies 🍿 like 👍 Iris
Given that Corphish did not change his moveset until after Battle Frontier, along with failing to beat Misty's Politoed, it's safe to say the writers still owe Ash a Crawdaunt. Also, nice that you finished the Hoenn team. Final thoughts: Sceptile: Nice that we finally got a Grass starter to fully evolve, but too many episodes as a Grovyle made people think the writers wanted a Bayleef 2.0. Swellow: Best region bird! Also, Thunder Armor Torkoal: Nice that Ash has a Fire-type that isn't a starter but this mon needs more wins. Glalie: Cool and powerful, shame it wasn't utilized enough. Also, you got to cover all six of Ash's non fully evolved Water-types. Thoughts again on the other 5: Squirtle: He'll always be the classic Water-starter who does not need to evolve, even though Blastoise is cool. Though it's a shame that the writers looked at Squirtle and thought "Let's overused the trend, because as long as non fully evolved Water types are cute, kids will love it more." Totodile: He may have a happy dancing personality, but zero Gym wins, lack of development and a poor win ratio in the 45% range is proof why Feraligatr is more preferable for Ash. Buizel: Many fans think that Buizel is a strong cute unevolved Water-type but given that he lost a lot of focus after his failure in Byron's Gym because of Infernape, he should have been a Floatzel. And don't give me the "Oh Buizel learned Ice Punch which is good enough development" because learning one new move and calling it a day is proof that Infernape made Buizel look bad along with making DP "Pokemon: The Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape Show". Oshawott: This guy may be goofy but he's just a blatant lazy rehash of Dawn's Piplup. And don't give me the "Oshawott is a strong cute unevolved Water starter who doesn't need evolution" because not only should he have been a Samurott (a first ever Water starter ace instead of trying to reinvent the ace being a Fire-starter abandoned by abusive trainer) he's the main reason why the staff was banned from creating another non fully evolved cute Water starter mascot stunt. Palpitoad: Not fully evolving into Seismitoad is bad enough, but the fact he had a low screentime in favor of Oshawott who was again a lazy repeat of Piplup is stupid. The writers gave Ash two Water mons in Unova yet they failed to fully evolved either one?! Overall, the cliche is overused, lazy and universally hated by everyone and out of the 6 non fully evolved Water-types, Feraligatr, Crawdaunt, Floatzel, Samurott and Seismitoad are more preferable mons for Ash.
I liked Ash’s corphish his personality was enjoyable but how cool would it have been if it evolved crawdant was a Pokémon that grew on me and I enjoyed having it on my team in Pokémon alpha sapphires and it used move mike dive and X scissor and it as well as several others helped out during the elite four, and I enjoyed using him during my play throughout! Just imagine if ash’s corphish has d a rivalry with the crawdant on team Aqua, it’ll be kind of like Brock’s crogunk and Saturns toxicroak thst would be dope
I think Corphish's battles and personality are underrated imo. Not to mention his various antics with the other Pokemon, especially Treecko/Grovyle and Torchic/Combusken. I loved his battles in the Hoenn League. The battle with Golduck will always be a classic Lol moment... Along with the epic draw with Swampert. Let's not forget the epic double alongside Swellow at the Battle Dome, which is completely underrated, and his performance at the Battle Tower. Shame he didn't do much after that, especially as Ash's last loss in the anime. Overall, to me, Corphish was an early Buizel... And I like him. Like Buizel, he could have evolved, yes... But we still love him and his antics.
Looking back, it's honestly surprising how much he beasted it at the Hoenn League. Glalie, swellow and Corphish we're way more memorable there than Grovyle imo
I still wished that Ash's Corphish had gotten a chanced to evolved before Pokemon Battle Frontier Series ended. Because ever since Ash caught Corphish it hasn't learn any powerful moves at all, I bet if it had evolved into Crawdaunt then it could learn some powerful moves like Superpower, Nightslash and Hydro Pump.
The hilarious 🦀 is here!! This guy is so underrated and I would love to be friends with him 😁!! Could you please do your next video on Rowlet 💚? I would love to see a video on the God himself!!
I had a question 🙋♀️ about Brock in the anime Professor, despite having his eyes 👀 close he can still see everyone and everything especially when trying to fall in love 😻 or flirt with the girls 👧 right?
Naw corphish is definitely stronger than buizel based on feats alone. Beating frontier brain Pokémon (elite 4 level) is way more impressive than any of buizels wins
No. Given that he refused to change his moveset until after Battle Frontier and failed to beat Misty's Politoed proved to everyone that Corphish should have been a Crawdaunt.
@@hiddenfan-37corphish lost because he was inexperienced because he was retired and hadn’t battled in awhile Misty being a gym leader trains politoed 24/7 while corphish spent his whole time relaxing and being lazy Evolving would not have changed that In the anime battles are about experience and effort Politoed would have been a more experienced battler than corphish whether he evolved or not the fact that you don’t see that is shocking
I think Ash’s Corphish was cool and one of his good Water types I feel he power was done inconsistent in the series I wish they were more Consistent with Corphish and I feel what makes Ash’s loss to mIsty in ATbAM episode was because that was His last onscreen battle before he left the series did the writers think Ash leaving the series after a loss was a good idea Ash should’ve won more battle after that one so that the Loss to Misty wouldn’t have been so bad also I think Corphish should’ve evolved into Crawdaunt it would’ve helped against his rematch against Anabel’s ALakazam gaining the Dark type and help keep up with Secptile and next do a video on Dawn’s Piplup next.
i REALLY love psychic types and since Liko’s hatenna evolved into hattrem when ever you have time can you cover Liko’s hattrem? (it’s your channel so don’t let me pressure you)
He could have gotten corpish, but when the experience of politoed's defense and the match was made to see who would get the pokemon before, he evolved, but he still lost, there is defeat, the trainer's sadness, the trainer's inability to get a water type he likes, the feeling of abandonment, combined, those feelings became power to win, there are statistics, gym protector corpish hoenn They say how can he lose the world champion after he hasn't done anything since, and Misty Ceruledun city gym leader in front of him is not an empty trainer, so sometimes they react without thinking, they make comments, they oppose those who say the opposite, if they think a little, they will understand, but it doesn't work. So this is the explanation of his defeat to Politoed, professor, we cannot think of this when we look at it too emotionally

Treeko was soooooo cool 😎 loved his relationship with corphish 😂
Same here, they made for great rivals
The amount of personality this fighting machine has was spectacular. Returning to battle Misty was such a treat
I really felt so bad seeing Corpish crying after getting defeated by Misty. Corpish' final battle shouldve not ended as defeat like really...
Corphish's moveset was not changed until AFTER Battle Frontier along with failing to evolve into Crawdaunt. Corphish is no longer a fitting Pokemon for Ash, but rather a Crawdaunt.
Back when I was younger I watched Pokemon every day before school and man did I love corphish, thanks for doing a video on him man

Corphish and Crawdaunt are some of my favorite Pokemon.
Corpish has two moods, violence and hungry.

Fair that they choose not to evolve Corphish, but they could've at least teach him one or two different moves throughout the Battle Frontier saga.
100%. the battles got a bit stale (though, I still enjoyed them)

Corphish is definitely one of Ash’s best water types right up there with Squirtle.
And Greninja and Dracovish
I LOVED Ash's Corphish growing up. Him and Buizel are two of Ash's Pokemon. I'm glad never evolved, especially since they both beat their evolved forms.
I really liked him as a character as well. It's too bad he was so inconsistent in battling 😂
Definitely one of my fav of the crew, which inspired me to evolve mine in ruby/sapphire
Finally! I've waiting for Corphish! He's my second favorite Ash's Crab Pokémon. Next to Kingler.
Hope it was worth the wait!
Nitpicking, but Corphish is a crayfish.
Crustaceous would be a more accurate term.

Another question 🙋♀️ Professor, I wonder 💭 if several characters grab Cilan by his green bow tie in the anime in a few episodes and 2 of the Black and White movies 🍿 like 👍 Iris
Hmm, I would need to go back and watch quite a bit for that specific thing.
Given that Corphish did not change his moveset until after Battle Frontier, along with failing to beat Misty's Politoed, it's safe to say the writers still owe Ash a Crawdaunt. Also, nice that you finished the Hoenn team. Final thoughts:
Sceptile: Nice that we finally got a Grass starter to fully evolve, but too many episodes as a Grovyle made people think the writers wanted a Bayleef 2.0.
Swellow: Best region bird! Also, Thunder Armor
Torkoal: Nice that Ash has a Fire-type that isn't a starter but this mon needs more wins.
Glalie: Cool and powerful, shame it wasn't utilized enough.
Also, you got to cover all six of Ash's non fully evolved Water-types. Thoughts again on the other 5:
Squirtle: He'll always be the classic Water-starter who does not need to evolve, even though Blastoise is cool. Though it's a shame that the writers looked at Squirtle and thought "Let's overused the trend, because as long as non fully evolved Water types are cute, kids will love it more."
Totodile: He may have a happy dancing personality, but zero Gym wins, lack of development and a poor win ratio in the 45% range is proof why Feraligatr is more preferable for Ash.
Buizel: Many fans think that Buizel is a strong cute unevolved Water-type but given that he lost a lot of focus after his failure in Byron's Gym because of Infernape, he should have been a Floatzel. And don't give me the "Oh Buizel learned Ice Punch which is good enough development" because learning one new move and calling it a day is proof that Infernape made Buizel look bad along with making DP "Pokemon: The Chimchar/Monferno/Infernape Show".
Oshawott: This guy may be goofy but he's just a blatant lazy rehash of Dawn's Piplup. And don't give me the "Oshawott is a strong cute unevolved Water starter who doesn't need evolution" because not only should he have been a Samurott (a first ever Water starter ace instead of trying to reinvent the ace being a Fire-starter abandoned by abusive trainer) he's the main reason why the staff was banned from creating another non fully evolved cute Water starter mascot stunt.
Palpitoad: Not fully evolving into Seismitoad is bad enough, but the fact he had a low screentime in favor of Oshawott who was again a lazy repeat of Piplup is stupid. The writers gave Ash two Water mons in Unova yet they failed to fully evolved either one?!
Overall, the cliche is overused, lazy and universally hated by everyone and out of the 6 non fully evolved Water-types, Feraligatr, Crawdaunt, Floatzel, Samurott and Seismitoad are more preferable mons for Ash.
The opposite: he’s perfect as is
@@pn2294 No he isn't. His failure against Misty's Politoed proved it.
@@hiddenfan-37 you mean Ash’s failure
@@pn2294 I'm talking about Corphish.
@@hiddenfan-37 and he’s Ash’s Pokémon
There's 21 minutes of corfish lore?! silver, you did it again.🫡
Can you do Wobbuffet next please, he's my favorite pokemon.

I liked Ash’s corphish his personality was enjoyable but how cool would it have been if it evolved crawdant was a Pokémon that grew on me and I enjoyed having it on my team in Pokémon alpha sapphires and it used move mike dive and X scissor and it as well as several others helped out during the elite four, and I enjoyed using him during my play throughout! Just imagine if ash’s corphish has d a rivalry with the crawdant on team Aqua, it’ll be kind of like Brock’s crogunk and Saturns toxicroak thst would be dope
"the writers didnt want to get Ash a dark type"
Years later:
*the writers give Ash a Greninja*
BW did give Ash Scraggy and Krookodile.
With no dark-type moves XD
@@hiddenfan-37 I forgot about those
@@ProfessorAlexSilver damn you right
Greninja knew cut but no dark stab
I think Corphish's battles and personality are underrated imo.
Not to mention his various antics with the other Pokemon, especially Treecko/Grovyle and Torchic/Combusken.
I loved his battles in the Hoenn League. The battle with Golduck will always be a classic Lol moment... Along with the epic draw with Swampert.
Let's not forget the epic double alongside Swellow at the Battle Dome, which is completely underrated, and his performance at the Battle Tower.
Shame he didn't do much after that, especially as Ash's last loss in the anime.
Overall, to me, Corphish was an early Buizel... And I like him. Like Buizel, he could have evolved, yes... But we still love him and his antics.
Looking back, it's honestly surprising how much he beasted it at the Hoenn League. Glalie, swellow and Corphish we're way more memorable there than Grovyle imo
@ProfessorAlexSilver Grovyle did have epic wins against Steelix and Walrein, but, yes... Those three did shine more, which I didn't mind.
@@CoolNaladon’t forget Quilava
@@bige81892 I guess.
FYI - Ash also lost to Misty in the whirl cup
Corphish is basically the Hoenn equivalent of Ash's Totodile.
Do ash's goodra next
On the list!
The History of Tierno's Blastoise: From Squirtle to POWERHOUSE!
That'd be a super fun one
Like always great video sir
I still wished that Ash's Corphish had gotten a chanced to evolved before Pokemon Battle Frontier Series ended. Because ever since Ash caught Corphish it hasn't learn any powerful moves at all, I bet if it had evolved into Crawdaunt then it could learn some powerful moves like Superpower, Nightslash and Hydro Pump.
Professor Silverfox! Who does the music for these videos? Loved the metal here for Corphish :-)
I get all the music from Epidemic Sound :)
Ash’s Hawlucha
Working on it!
@@ProfessorAlexSilver thank you
Can you do Ash’s Ganga PLEASE
Why didn’t you count Tucker’s Swampert as a win ? Even though Swellow finished him off it was still a double battle
I could have included it, but I gave that win to swellow
Finally. Thanks
The hilarious 🦀 is here!! This guy is so underrated and I would love to be friends with him 😁!! Could you please do your next video on Rowlet 💚? I would love to see a video on the God himself!!
Can you do The history of Clemonts Chespin?
On the list!
Sweet!
I had a question 🙋♀️ about Brock in the anime Professor, despite having his eyes 👀 close he can still see everyone and everything especially when trying to fall in love 😻 or flirt with the girls 👧 right?
Yup!
Corphis was such a great Pokémon that gets forgotten by Sceptile's coolness
100% agreed
Naw corphish is definitely stronger than buizel based on feats alone. Beating frontier brain Pokémon (elite 4 level) is way more impressive than any of buizels wins
One of my favorite ash pokemon
Hey Professor Will You Do The Complete History Of Goh's Suicune Please!
That could be a fun one, I'd probably wrap it into a complete history of the legendary beasts as a whole though
ash's corphish, bulbasaur and torterra are the embodiment of "Evoloution Makes You WEAK!"
No. Given that he refused to change his moveset until after Battle Frontier and failed to beat Misty's Politoed proved to everyone that Corphish should have been a Crawdaunt.
@@hiddenfan-37corphish lost because he was inexperienced because he was retired and hadn’t battled in awhile
Misty being a gym leader trains politoed 24/7 while corphish spent his whole time relaxing and being lazy
Evolving would not have changed that
In the anime battles are about experience and effort
Politoed would have been a more experienced battler than corphish whether he evolved or not the fact that you don’t see that is shocking
@@hiddenfan-37Corphish was shown to have two new moves in his battle against Politoad Aqua Jet and MetaL Claw.
@@axels3188 Yeah, but those moves came after Battle Frontier. Ash didn't change Corphish's moveset throughout the Gen III anime.
May's Munchlax next
That could be a fun one!
@@ProfessorAlexSilver ikr and I definitely think it would be funny and interesting
In a one on one who do think would win: corphish or oshowatt
I think Ash’s Corphish was cool and one of his good Water types I feel he power was done inconsistent in the series I wish they were more Consistent with Corphish and I feel what makes Ash’s loss to mIsty in ATbAM episode was because that was His last onscreen battle before he left the series did the writers think Ash leaving the series after a loss was a good idea Ash should’ve won more battle after that one so that the Loss to Misty wouldn’t have been so bad also I think Corphish should’ve evolved into Crawdaunt it would’ve helped against his rematch against Anabel’s ALakazam gaining the Dark type and help keep up with Secptile and next do a video on Dawn’s Piplup next.
i REALLY love psychic types and since Liko’s hatenna evolved into hattrem when ever you have time can you cover Liko’s hattrem? (it’s your channel so don’t let me pressure you)
Some day! I think I'll wait ttill the story is complete
Hope you're having a good day
He could have gotten corpish, but when the experience of politoed's defense and the match was made to see who would get the pokemon before, he evolved, but he still lost, there is defeat, the trainer's sadness, the trainer's inability to get a water type he likes, the feeling of abandonment, combined, those feelings became power to win, there are statistics, gym protector corpish hoenn They say how can he lose the world champion after he hasn't done anything since, and Misty Ceruledun city gym leader in front of him is not an empty trainer, so sometimes they react without thinking, they make comments, they oppose those who say the opposite, if they think a little, they will understand, but it doesn't work.
So this is the explanation of his defeat to Politoed, professor, we cannot think of this when we look at it too emotionally
Favorite Hoenn water type
Question 🙋♀️ Professor, are the 2 Zs on Ash’s cheeks his birthmarks?
Based on his battle record and personality. It seems seem like the writers wanted to give Ash a middle ground water type pokémon
