>never officially caught a Pokémon of the Steel, Psychic,

>>28251231
Jobber is his favorite type.

>>28251231
hayai type

>>28251231
In defense of Fairy, it was just introduced.

No clue why he hasn't gotten the other types yet though. For example, I was so certain that he was gonna get a Lucario in gen 4 and 6, but I guess they're avoiding that.

>>28251231
Flying type, look at his kalos team

>>28251335
>flying type
>did not get his Charizard a Charizardite-Y and stuck with him instead of memefrog.

>>28251231
Flying or Fire it seems.

>>28251335
>>28251341
>>28251349
Yea i was thinking of flying when i see Noivern, Hawlucha, and Talonflame in his team

>>28251368
Those jobbers were the reason he lost, he also had like 3 ground types in Sinnoh.

>>28251368
Also note that he never fails to take the regional birb of every region, even the shit ones like Unfezant and Noctowl

>>28251231
he had haunter

Electric: 1
Water: 8
Fire: 6
Grass: 5
Dragon: 3
Poison: 1
Bug: 4
Ground: 4
Dark: 3
Ghost: 1
Normal: 9
Fighting: 2
Rock: 2
Flying: 9

Normal/Flying is his favorite.

he has a lot of flying types. In gen 4 he had 2 and in gen 6 he had 3.

>>28251404
>officially caught

>>28251435
I wasn't counting duplicates, but yes, he has a lot of Tauros/Normal types.

Fast type.
Seriously. He is specifically focused on Pokemon that can move fast and hit hard. Defensive Pokemon with big overwhelming moves are always the ones he has the most trouble with. It's also why he had so much trouble training Grotle/Torterra.
Sure, there are outliers each season like Snorlax, Bayleef, Corphish, the aforementioned Torterra, Palpitoad, and Goodra, but even then most of those got the least amount of screentime, with the exception of Bayleef which was probably only written in because it was the director's new fetish.
He also sucks with most ranged attacks.
Energy Ball, Draco Meteor, Electro Ball...that encompasses some of the only ranged attacks that aren't entirely element-based (Thunderbolt, Bubblebeam/Water Gun, Ember/Flamethrower, Ice Beam, Leaf Storm, you get the point) that he's had (besides Water Shuriken, which works Because Greninja™). All three of those posed challenges for his Pokemon to master. And he always has difficulty with ranged attacks in battles, too. Unless his Pokemon dodges it, which is whenever the writers don't feel like jobbing.

It just so happens that three Pokemon that fit this type of battling style in Gen 6 are part-Flying, so he had three Flying types in Kalos.

>>28251581
It'd probably help if something like Greninja didn't know fucking Cut of all things. He learned years ago that Pikachu needed to learn Iron Tail and that has been a thing for ages, so why the fuck does Greninja know fucking Cut.

So of those revealed thus far, which Pokemon do you think Ash is liable to get in Alola? Pikipek is obligatory, and I'm thinking he'll wind up getting a Litten over a Rowlet. Rockruff seems like another obvious choice given how much it's being pushed. I also think he'll catch a Crabrawler.

>>28251231
>what's his favourite type anyway

the "plot armor" type

>>28251754
Horse, Lobster, Dedicated Flyer, Pikipek, something we haven't seen yet.

>>28251799

>Dedicated Flyer, Pikipek

What?

>>28251231
Any Pokemon that doesn't look too weird for him to interact with.

Pokemon like Sigilyph or Minior I could not picture him using.

>>28251636
Cut is a strong move fampai. Like tackle or pound.

>>28251827
I haven't been paying attention to the leaks as much as I'd like, I still barely remember the names at all. I was assuming Pikipek was the ghost pikachu.

>>28251862
Mimikyu?

>>28251862

Pikipek is the woodpecker.

>>28251862
The 'ghost pikachu" is Mimikyu and there's no way in hell Ash will get one.

I could definitely see it having an episode or two dedicated to it but it won't be on ash's team.

>>28251779
Didn't help him win the league.

>>28251868
Yeah that's it. I'm kind of glad by not keeping up with the leaks as much, kind of makes things more surprising and exciting. I tend to learn the names through playing the games anyways, I barely half ass remember them during leak times.

>>28251848
No, That was Mimikyu.

Pikipek is the new regional bird. The little red-headed woodpecker.

>>28251403
The owl was shiny so that's at least some excuse.

>>28251890
meant to reply to >>28251862

I don't know wtf happened.

>>28251883
he wins most bullshit though

>>28251636
Can't forget HM moves.

>>28251636
Greninja knows Cut because the japanese name of the move is Iagiri which basically means swordplay and it gives the animators and excuse to drawn Greninja doing crazy ninja sword shit

>>28251912
Agreed.

>>28251412
You left out 2 Ice types, Lapras and Glalie

>>28251754
Pikipek is a guarantee as either his first or second pokemon in the region.

He'll either get rowlet or Litten. I don't think he'll get Popplio.

I think Rockruff is also a safe bet.

He'll likely get an Alola form of a Pokemon, but I can't yet say if it'll be one of the ones revealed so far.

>>28251887
>with the leaks
I dont think you know what that word means

>>28251387
Hawlucha and Pikachu were the only ones pulling their weight in the league finals. Goodra set up rain and Memefrog couldn't even take down an already weakened Charizard with rain on. Noivern is a kid that's days old so it losing makes sense. Grenigger is literally the legendary chosen one and JOBBED HARD. Don't blame Ash's birbs for Memefrog's loss.

>>28252922
It all goes back to >>28251341

>>28252871
>I think Rockruff is also a safe bet.
Just like he got riolu or zorua?

>>28252871
Ash will get Litten and Pikipek, girl MC will have Popplio and Rockruff because contests need cutemons and Mallow or whoever the fuck knowledgable/exposition third wheel is going to be will have Rowlet because the bowtie makes it seem wiser than the other two.

What were his rock mons again? I forget.

>>28252980
He had a Boldore in BW. Don't blame you forgetting it because I don't recall it ever doing anything.

>>28252976
>yfw Ash's team is Greninja, Sceptile, Charizard + 3 starters.

Pikachu stays by his side.

>>28252976
Theres enough cutemons like Mimikyu and Togedemaru, or Alola Vulpix. Rockruff just gives vibes as a mon that will fit Ash, and has hype billed to it since its a mon tied directly to the starters.

>>28251231
I'm kind of surprised they didn't give him a woobat in BW, it and Swoobat feel like a good match for him, and they could've given Jessie something like venepide

>>28252976
>girl MC
Do you mean Serena? :^)

>>28253003
Jessie will have a Mimikyu. It'll see that TR always wants to catch Pikachu and it'll get in the way of all their traps, trying to be caught instead, until Jessie takes pity on it and captures it herself, and subsequently uses it in contests.

>>28253075
If Ash catches Litten, I guarantee you Jesse gets a Salandit.

>>28253120
James will get Salandit, it'll be Victreebel/Cacnea/Carnivine 4.0 and always accidentally burn/poison him by showing affection.

>>28252997
>not using Boldore at the Flying OR Ice gym.

Best Wishes Ash was a dumb motherfucker.

>>28253163
Nah, James gets a Bewear, with the running joke of hugging him along the lines of wat you listed

>>28251754
I don't see Ash having litten at all. Maybe more Popplio

>>28252922
Talonflame didn't jobbed.
If it was Braviary everyone would praise Talonflame.
Honestly it was the best fight in the whole Ash VS Alan battle

Also Alan shit bird spammed the fuck out of Sky Attack without charging. Talonflame did good.

>>28251754
Ash will not have Rockruff exactly because they're pushing it

>>28251254
Pffft pretty much

>>28253075
If jesse uses a Mimikyu in contests it better win at least one, I don't think my heart could take it losing over and over again

>>28251754
He might get all three this gen since he only got the frog last time

>>28252945
if rockruff's secret turns out to involve the starters, then yeah it's pretty likely.

unless one turns out to be the featured mon of a movie, which was the case for lucario and zorua/zoroark

>>28253075
>Jessie
> not James

Anon what are you doing?

>>28251335
Definitely Flying. He always gets the regional bird pretty quickly and uses it often.

>>28251231
He has no favorite type, he just tends to gravitate towards fast, mixed sweepers.

>>28253788
Or, you know, it just turns out that the secret about Rockruff and the Starters is that they have their own Z moves

Don't look too hard into it, Anon.

>>28253075
Nah bro, James catches a Mimikyu (it fits him thematically, considering Mime Jr, Yamask and Chimecho) and Stufful -> Bewear.

Jessie will catch a Salandit and, if she's allowed to have a third pokémon (it's a safe bet to say that Wobbuffet sticks around) then either Tapu Koko or Oricorio.

>>28253006
Swoobat is not the early game bird

>>28253213
This is the same gym where Pikachu cannot touch Flying types

>>28255787
Pikachu forgot electric move

Ash's team:
Pikachu
Litten
Pikipek
Crabrawler
Rockruff
An unseen Alolan Form.

Unless the writers do something surprising and Greninja stays with Ash to go to Alola.

>>28255576
Tapu Koko is a deity pokémon and highly unlikely to be owned by any character

he always had an electric type on his team at all times except for the occasional episode where he had to use a borrowed team and stuff like that

>>28251412
Bulbasaur is part Poison

>>28256378
Venusaur IS part poison, how can a starter have dual type at initial form

>>28257168
Bulbasaur is part poison

>>28257168
Because it does for reasons.

>>28257168

Are you retarded? Both Bulbasaur and Rowlet are dual type.

>>28257168
Bulbasaur is part poison, anon

>>28257168
This is how shit Rowlet is, people have already forgotten it exists

>>28257220
rowlet is pure grass

>>28257269
Nope

Ash's team for alola, calling it now

>pikachu, duh
>Rowlet
>that regional bird
>crabrawler
>salandit
>some water type that hasn't been shown yet

>>28257269

Nope, Grass/Flying.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Rowlet_(Pok%C3%A9mon)

>>28255775
Yeah, because in Kalos he caught Fletchling and said

"You know what? I'm good on flying types"

>>28257185
>>28257204
>>28257220
>>28257226
But.... all my life.... I ... Shit.

>>28257460
Most people do that all their life too
It's a basic biological function

>Not even mentioning Jessie: The Pokemon.

>>28251412
Fucking normie reeeeee

>>28257319

The anime concept art shows him with El Tigre.

Rowlet won't be allowed anywhere near him. They want another Greninja, and they know nobody is going to buy into whatever Ash has after that Kalos disaster.

>>28257502
I brought this up in another thread, but as much as I'd love for Jessie to have that Pokemon, it just isn't going to happen. Not after how useless Missy's goldeen and horsey were in OS. Unless that thing can hover somehow, it isn't going to be given to any MC, though I'm sure there will be an episode where Jessie tries to steal it
