Why did James release his Victreebel?

The show had to promote new pokemon, same reason why Ash gets rid of his old pokemon

So they could replace it with a pokemon that had the same quirk, but better advertised the new gen.

Why do they still have that stupid ass Wobbufett then?

>>26799630
Because WYNAUT?

>>26799630

Comedy relief.

>>26799630
They got rid of him as well, but he was demanded back.

>>26799630
They brought it back because it was considered popular as a gimmick just like why Meowth is around still

Was Lickitung Team Rocket's most under-used and under-appreciated pokemon?

>Jesse cucked James out of his best mon
Still hate Jesse for that

>>26799650
Probably.
I think it could have coexisted with Wobbs.

>>26799583

He thought was for the best.

>>26799650
What about Yamask and Amoonguss?

>>26799639
>>26799642
So was Victreebel.

>>26799592
>>26799600
What is seviper

>>26799730
Victreebel's gimmick is given to each of James' grass types.

>>26799724
Literally who?

>>26799724
At least they were decent battlers for the most part, since comical TR only returned in the filler island season.

better question - will james ever get his cacnea back?

probably not
why?
>>26799592

>>26799583
I wonder if they'll ever get Arbok and Weezing back.

>>26799843

Sure, right after Ash goes back for Pidgeot and Primape.

>>26799863
No one gives a shit about those two though, not even Ash.

>>26799924
That's the point.

>>26799924
a lot of people give a fuck about pidgeot

>>26799583
What about that Chimecho he loved so much?

>>26801373

Chimecho got sick and James left in the care of one of his butlers I believe.

>>26801870
Weren't his gradparents that episode give me feels.
>sweet baby James

People sure give Ash a lot of flake for releasing his Pokemon when other trainers do the same

>>26799741
That Pokemon that was also let go in the next gen's series.

>>26801978
James' history episodes were always the best.
How many are in BW/XY/DP?
