It's true that Infernape had the spotlight in the battles against Paul, but it's natural due to all that backstory it had with Paul himself.
Infernape did, however, not take any spotlight in the other fights, at least as far as the league is concerned. It did not participate vs Nando, Conway or Tobias and as a result Heracross, Noctowl, Gible, Pikachu and so on got to kick some ass and get big wins.
Compare that to Greninja who is taking the spotlight in ALL league battles, not to mention the 8th gym, vs Diantha, vs Alan/Shota in XYZ 13, 23, 26. In other words, there's not really any space for the rest of Ash's team to show off their battle prowess.
