Let's predict who got sent back. My guess is on Tepig or Pidove. There was a big deal over Snivy getting caught; Zuruggu just hatched; without Oshawott, Pikachu would get every battle unless it's knocked out. I guess Tepig and Pidove because much hasn't really been done with them yet, but I could be a bit wrong cause I'm only caught up to the museum episode.

Actually my guess is either Pidove as from what I heard it isn't performing that well or Zuruggu with the intent that maybe the Professor could find a way to calm its wild nature.

I'd say Snivy, based on the fact that Sewaddle is part Grass-type, so if Ash has both Sewaddle & Snivy on his team, he would have two Grass-type Pokemon on hand, which he doesn't need.

Because he's never had more than one of the same Type of Pokemon on his team before........

Sure, he has, but you'd hope he'd consider that kind of logic.

I'd have thought he'd keep Pidove. The only time he didn't have a bird on his team was Orange Islands & early Johto, and even then he still had a Flying type. They like him having Flying types so they can scout things out. When you say performing badly, do you mean she's not good in battle or she's not popular with the audience?

Bulbapedia seem fairly sure he still has Zuruggu. They only list Ash as having Pikachu, Zuruggu & Sewaddle on hand, with the others listed under with Juniper, accompanied by an explanatory note.

I'd hope he'd be logical and send Snivy off...but who knows.

But yeah, his sixth Pokémon bar Pikachu...let's consider how long it took him to capture his other sixth Pokémon...

Krabby in EP013, so earlier, but fairly close.

Let's count Johto separately. Phanpy hatched in EP228.Johto started in EP117, so it took 111 episodes.

Aipom was caught in AG179, not even in the right region.

And Gible was caught in DP157.

So it's closest, really, to Krabby. After Krabby he wet on to catch Muk, Primeape & 30 Tauros before his Kanto journey ended, not to mention Haunter, or Snorlax & Lapras in the Orange Isles.

Incidentally, they're moving through gyms quite quickly aren't they? Can't help but wonder if there are any post-Unova plans for Best Wishes...

Is everyone forgetting that Sewaddle only knows one grass type move? It's only other moves are bug type

What is so wrong with it?

Well we know Oshawott, Sewaddle, Pikachu, and Zuruggu are still with him, so it's between Tepig, Snivy and Pidove. Ash always has his search pokemon so Pidove will probably stay, and Tepig is becoming well liked and starting to become a powerhouse after learning Nitro Charge, so Snivy really seems to be the likely choice. If not Snivy then Pidove.

He probably got that from the post-game in Black/White where you help Looker track down each of Team Plasma's sages.

Hey. I just wanted to quickly ask a question: Is Team Rocket still awesome in this show, or have they fallen back into their goofy routes. Sorry, I know I must sound like a noob, but I just want to know just so I know whether or not to bother watching the show when it comes to the US. Also: Has there been any rocketshipping so far?

Nope, they're still acting like pure badasses and have yet to even meet Ash and co. again, they are just doing heists and doesn't afraid of anything.

Goes to show you that, yes indeed, Ash and co. were holding Team Rocket back.

God if only they got rid of Ash in Pokemon the show would be so freaking epic so much .-.

But for now, Team Rocket Vs Team Plasma is epic enough .-.

The preview was awesome. I'm a little surprised though. Don't tell me they are going to get rid of Team Rocket so early? That would be a waste after the greatness of this saga.

So we have a title for BW020. Was it known before, as a rumour? Well, it's confirmed now as Pikachu VS Meguroco VS Koaruhie! or Pikachu VS Sandile VS Ducklett! if you prefer.

So...following Sewaddle...the field's wide open. Anything could happen. Ash could very easily be catching another new Pokémon. Who knows? Maybe he'll catch two.

But I'm confident at least one of the three will catch one of the two...

I think Ash is gonna catch Sandile. Though, as much as I like the idea of him actually being a real trainer and catching all sorts of pokemon and attempting to train them all, I can't help but wonder how he's going to evolve some of them. Sinnoh has had the most pokemon evolutions ever for Ash's team, Ash having had 7 evolutions. He already has caught 6 new pokemon and a lot of us are expecting/hoping for him to fully evolve a few of them(pleae Samurott and Emboar), so hopefully while the writers are doing good in the "catching" department, they'll do equally well in the evolution department and won't leave any of them to waste or have them stay in their base form when they have awesome evolutions.(Totodile, Gible, etc.)
