This is the most beautiful reunion ever!

Seems way out of character for Bulbasaur

Like what the fuck? Bulbasaur's the edgy cool silent type. I guess Pokemon aren't allowed to have personalities anymore, they must suck Ash's dick 24/7 like Pikachu.

>>33433590
Yeah bulbasaur is supposed to snack tf outta ash who it hasn't seen in while

He's now a comedy relief lettuce

>>33433590

Clearly you haven't watched past the first season. Bulbasaur's personality has changed a lot during Johto through Hoenn seasons.

>>33433538
Holy fuck, they actually brought a Pokémon back?

Does this mean Primeape isn't dead?

Haven't watched the anime in years.

Odds on a based Kingler cameo?

>>33433590
>edgy
Every day that word loses more and more meaning

>>33433623

Bulbasaur still belonged to Ash, he just kept it at Oak's lab. Primeape is still with that guy Ash gave it to.

>>33433623
>>33433624

Ash is going to Kanto, there's a big chance all his Kanto Pokemon to appear.

And Johto

>>33433590
>It's way out of character for a Pokemon to be happy to see its trainer after a fucking long time

>>33433679

You are right. In fact all his pokemon till Kalos that haven't been released (Pidgeot, Greninja, Goodra) might appear

>>33433590
Bulbasaur stopped being that way a long time ago. He started acting more like a concerned big brother for some of the other pokemon.

>>33433695
Did you see Charizard in Unova blushing with sparkly eyes while he hugged Ash?

yeah, 'member when he came to visit? that was a hoot

Please tell me he takes one of his boxed mons back

>>33433720
>and Pidgeot and Butterfree is still nowhere to be seen
Lel

>>33433679
Wait WHAT
If I wre ten years younger I would be crying, I loved the Ash/Larvitar dynamic and was sad to see him go.
Still kind of worrying that they are going so far trying to appeal to nostalgia.

>>33433720
squirtle's there too. Weird.

>>33433748

Only one I could see that happening with is Totodile

>>33433711
Do you see Charizard in OP's image?

>>33433763
Squirtle's still within arm's reach, so the writers can bring him back whenever.

>>33433764
>>33433748

Don't really see that happening again but if it does I'd rather see Gible

>>33433538
inb4 he just shows up for a few seconds. Ash hasnt used his old team since the Sinnoh failure. he didnt even use Charizard. man, the unova league was just so damn terrible

>>33433538
>Greninja and Goodra will never appear on the anime again
Let's be honest, is that really that much of a loss?

>>33433679

That's just a flashback. It's viewer bait, like the time they shilled Butterfree's return one or two seasons ago but it turned out to just be a flashback.

Hehe
solid bait.

why has it still not evolved?

>>33433779

>Cyndaquil coming back and evolving
>Noctowl
>Donphan
>Heracross

Pretty obvious that Ash using his old Pokemon in the Sinnoh League was just for HGSS promotion

>>33433788

Doesn't want to. Did you not watch season 1?

>>33433788
Because it doesn't want to
Motherfucker, that was established on the FIRST FUCKING SEASON OF THE ANIME

>>33433784

I know that, but a flashback to Johto means we can see Ash's Johto Pokemon again.

>>33433796
I guess this is just in time for the Kanto Gen 8 remakes then

>>33433804
That's because those mons are at Oak's. Of course they're bound to appear, even if only as background.

>>33433695
Why would it even give a shit about some gay kid who abandoned him 10 years ago

>>33433788
Because bulbasaur decided not to evolve and Ash respects his decision.

>>33433810
Why do you think Oak willingly keeps taking care of Ash's continuously increasing amount of Pokemon for free?

>>33433816
It's called loyalty you fucking fag

>>33433796
he also used Sceptile, Swellow and fucking Torkoal. damn torkoal

>>33433816

Bulbasaur has an important job as a peacekeeper/"leader" of the Pokemon living at Oak's lab.

>>33433836
Those three actually do make sense in that they had experience with fighting legendaries, with Torkoal actually doing pretty well against Registeel. It didn't work out like Ash planned though.

>>33433828
Something Ash should learn.

>>33433842
There's no room for him to visit because most of his journey happens across the world, retard.

Evolution is a choice in the anime as opposed to a requirement to be any good at all.

Ash's Torterra, for instance, got worse after it evolved because it got bigger and slower.

>>33434109
doesnt torkoal have the lowest win rate of them though? im just mad we didnt get to see Charizard lose instead

>>33433538
Hasn't it been like 2 weeks since Ash left for Alola?

>>33434208
Lapras had the lowest winrate of all of Ash's Pokemon, it literally never won a battle while under Ash's ownership. The best it managed to achieve was a draw vs Drake's Gengar.

>>33434262
To be fair, it was a lost baby and mostly a source of transportation.

>Ash could have had a Gengar (and hypothetically Mega Gengar later on) if Sabrina caught the Haunter he gave her and then returned it to him
>Ash could have had a Tyranitar (and hypothetically Mega Tyranitar) if the Larvitar decided to stay with him and he evolved it
>Ash could have had a Raticate if he kept the trade
>Ash could have had a Beedrill (and hypothetically Mega Beedrill) if he didn't give it away right after catching it
>Ash could have had Charizard Mega Evolve to Mega Charizard X and/or Mega Charizard Y
>Ash could have had Heracross Mega Evolve to Mega Heracross
>Ash could have had Glalie Mega Evolve to Mega Glalie
>Ash could have evolved Bulbasaur to Venusaur (and then to Mega Venusaur)
>Ash could have evolved Squirtle to Blastoise (and then to Mega Blastoise)
>Ash could have evolved Bayleef to Meganium
>Ash could have evolved Quilava to Typhlosion
>Ash could have evolved Totodile to Feraligatr
>Ash could have evolved Corphish to Crawdaunt
>Ash could have evolved Buizel to Floatzel
>Ash could have evolved Gible to Garchomp (and then to Mega Garchomp)
>Ash could have evolved Snivy to Serperior
>Ash could have evolved Pignite to Emboar
>Ash could have evolved Oshawott to Samurott
>Ash could have evolved Scraggy to Scrafty
>Ash could have evolved Palpitoad to Seismitoad
>Ash could have traded Trip his Boldore for his Gurdurr and then back to evolve it to a Gigalith
>Ash could have kept his Aipom and evolved it to Ambipom himself instead of having Dawn release it
>Ash could have kept his Butterfree, Pidgeot (and Mega Evolve it to Mega Pidgeot), Lapras, Greninja, and Goodra
>Ash could have kept his Primeape with him and learned to actually use it
>Ash could have caught Meloetta
>Ash could have traveled with a Celebi for an arc

>>33434524
You got an English essay coming up?

>>33434524
Ash could be a self-insert like in the games, but the writers have to keep him a failure as a trainer.

Last time you saw Ash's Bulbasaur was 4 years ago, relax...

>>33433698
Goodra and Greninja are at Kalos, we won't see Greninja return until his job protecting Kalos is done, which won't be in a couple of years.

>>33434524
if he kept Aipom he wouldn't have Buizel

>>33433820
Banging Delia isnt free

>>33433756
They are the protector of their race. No time to vacation.

>make Bulbasaur essentially the leader of the Pokemon at the lab
>never show any other pokemon besides Bulbasaur or maybe Tauros when Ash visits
Every time.

>>33434979
>we won't see Greninja return until his job protecting Kalos is done

I missed the XY anime but this is the gayest shit I've heard

>>33435085
I fucking love the Tauros joke. Every single time.

>comedy relief owl is so shit they need to bring Bulbasaur back
I should've seen that coming

>>33435062

Butterfree doesn't protect shit. It just went off to mate.

>>33433720

Why is Primeape there? I thought Ash gave it to the Hitmonchan trainer?

Maybe I'm missing an episode where he came back?

>>33435405
What will you be saying when they bring back Charizard in the league again to replace that shit cat?

>>33433628
>Edgy

Yes that's true. Did you even watch the episode where ash caught him.

He was Literally rasist towards humans. Kind of like litten, But this time less deaths.

And plus how edgey do you actually have to be to refuse evolution.

>>33434172
>Ash's Torterra, for instance, got worse after it evolved because it got bigger and slower.

But torterra actually is faster the turtwig in-game

>>33435429
Same thing probably, but league return is for strategic purpose, for example not to wear down the cat.

>>33433538
But my time progression

>>33434524

what if during final season of satoshi and pikachu all his pokemon evolve to their final forms during hardcore battle for the sake of the world?

>>33436219
Nah, that's some digimon shit

>>33434524
If we're going by movies, then Ash could of caught Latias in the 5th movie since it was technically alone after Latios' death and liked him anyway.

>>33435419
It's an opening theme, they just stuck a couple iconic Pokemon in there because they could. Squirtle "shouldn't be there" either.

>>33433679
WHERE IS BAYLEEF?

>>33436359
They're going to show a bunch of flashbacks to iconic scenes from Kanto and Johto, so it'll probably appear in one.

>>33436300

.... pokemon evolves during battles you know?

>>33433679
Odds on Bayleef jumping on his dick?

>>33433756
Butterflies die after mating, mate.

>>33436509
Butterfree is a Pokemon, not a butterfly.

>>33433779
He did use Charizard in the last BW arc

>>33433788
He's a manchild NEET.

>>33434524
>Ash could have married Latias and settled down in not!Venice with her

>>33435491
>implying in-game mechanics are kept the same in the anime
>implying they even mean shit in anime
I mean, if you imagined a "real-life" Torterra, you'd think it's a slow creature, because it's a tortoise with a giant ass island with trees on its back
Or do you expect it to run like fucking Sonic?

>>33433720
>ash had a gliscor
Why do I not remember this?
That mon is in my dream team

>>33437155
He didn't have it for very long before sending it to train and then he got it back for one battle in the league before leaving it at Oak''s lab.

>>33433842
Don't we see Ash going to Professor Oak's lab at the start of every single goddamn season? except for XY I guess.

>>33437188
Why does he have such horrible tastes

Doesn't Bulbasaur usually cameo in most seasons anyway, usually at the end when he goes back to the lab.

Can't see all of his old Pokemon returning, just the main ones.

>>33437336
Yeah. It's the guardian of Oak's ranch, so they often show it hanging around Oak.
Same with Muk, who pops up during those video phone calls far more often than anyone else due to it's weird crush on him.

>>33437210
because the writer's of the Ashime are hacks

>>33433538
I just hope Ash will show off his Alolan Pokemon to his other Pokemon back in Prof Oak's lab

>>33437361
>Ashime
Go back to your Twitter account

WHEN WILL YOU FAGGOTS UNDERSTAND THIS, EVEN FOR AMERICANS YOU GUYS ARE BRAINSHIT

>>33433538
>I've been waiting for his return!!
You didn't wait much then, since Bulbasaur was in an episode that aired not even 4 years ago

Squirtle on the other hand hasn't actually appeared outside of flashbacks since fucking 2006

>>33437575
Stay mad, Serenacuck.

>>33437566
>twitter
That is that Roald Dahl novel???

>>33433538
I just realized Ash has had every grass starter exception Chespin. Huh.

>>33437630

XY is when they wanted to break the Cycle it seems and shill Greninja.

>>33436744
That'd be really fucking neat to see.

>>33433849

He didn't box him, Oak asked Ash for Bulbasaur to stay because he can't handle his pokemon and he needed Bulbasaur to get things under control. do some research before talking like an idiot.

Ash's Bulbasaur defeated a Magnemite that Pikachu and Cyndaquil couldn't defeat and tied a Meganium. Also took down Dusclops and Solrock after Charizard and Squirtle failed to do so.. Yeah go box such a pokemon.

>>33433538

>>33437992

Bulbasaur has higher win+draw rate than Sceptile and Charizard though.

>>33433788
Literally because Venasaur/Ivysaur are too difficult to animate

>>33438175
Explain Torterra.

>>33438178
lost every fight ever since it evolved sadly
but the animation excuse is bs

>>33433538
guys ready for them to give you kanto starters in USUM!!!

>>33438200
They're not too difficult to be possible to animate, but complex characters are more expensive to animate and I imagine the budget to Charizard.
>>33438203
I'm not a fan of the Kanto pandering, but how are gift pokemon bad?

>>33437353
I wonder if Ash will get Alolan Muk

>>33437992
>Pikachu not listed
>A-Greninja in twice

Jesus they shill him too much

>>33438178
Torterra doesn't have the detailed leaves and shit the saur line does. They can just draw a blob and color it green for Torterra's tree

>>33433628
It lost all meaning long ago

>>33438248
That's a really edgy thing to say

>>33438227
It's snap you fucking dumbass

I just wanna see Ash use Quilava....

>>33433590
Bulbasaur was serious but not edgy

>>33437569
And Mew is under the truck too, right?

>>33438313
No, Mew is the truck

>>33433720

glalie is as shocked to see primeape as you are

Is there any one of Ash's Pokemon that really made you enjoy that particular Pokemon more or at all?

When I first watched the anime I loved the Krabby/Kingler episode and that cemented those Pokemon as some of my favourites, even if they're not that strong.

>>33433720
>horde of Tauros
Never not funny.

>>33433538
We better get to see all of ashs pokemon not just the kanto nostalgia bait i swear to fucking god nintendo/pokemon company.

>>33438494
Glalie and Corphish never thought I'd actively go out of my way to play with them on my Hoenn runs but they sure were great

>>33436359
They better follow the the cyndaquil will evolve now thing they started.

Please dont let gary be in this, i dont want him reverted back to the old him hes supposed to be a poke scientist now

>>33439175
Don't worry, he hasn't been announced at all and if he were there, he would've been advertised.

>>33439182
I hope you are right anon, i was quite happy to see the progress he made its bad enough they reverted brock and misty.

>>33437992

Why Team Rocket is there? and why Infernape was replaced by Sceptile later if both didn't appear in Kalos?

Pidgeot is released, Ash never made a promise for Pidgeot in the Japanese version.

>>33439194
How exactly were they reverted? Just because they decided to wear some of their old clothes?

>>33439915
Yes he did. Him supposedly not doing it is one of those retarded memes parroted by people that just heard it from others.
