>only gets reasonable screentime in johto arc>its the only johto starter ash doesn't evolve>loses in a fight against a cyndaquil and a monferno, after evolving>no other trainer in the anime uses it except that faggot that hangs out with lyra>gets paired with fucking Kris???? In the chronicles arc, forever stuck in pokemon contests, seriously what the fuck?>may gets a bulbasaur and a squirtle but dawn only gets a cyndaquilI have never seen so much indirect hatred.
