4 of Ash's Pokemon are corporate picks and one oddball, the team as a whole is really forgettable overall.
>Lucario, who's been literally everywhere for the past 10 years
>Gengar, the go-to ace for ghost trainers everywhere
>Dragonite, the like 3rd major Dragonite in the anime
>Sirfetched, meme and evolution of kantoooo
On one hand I don't think Ash needs to be running around with meme shitmons or anything, but the anime is such a great opportunity to show off different Pokemon than...Pokemon we've literally seen over and over again. Between this and 3 starters I'm honestly not sure which is worse, for the record I think his XY and Hoenn teams were really good with Unova as a runner up with how varied it got.
I think pic related is the peak of the anime making Pokemon that would languish in obscurity seem cool, this dude was cracked.
