My Pidgeot, been on my team since the beginning of the game, first pokemon caught.

In time for Victory Road, realized it wasn't good. Horrible nature, lower attack and defenses then other mons of same level.

Finally went and replaced it with Jigglypuff. I'm still feeling horrible about it. I betrayed him, he won't be in the Hall of Fame.

Is this how all of Ash's Pokemon feel? Abandoned at their prime?
