>>37320825you mean the pokemon he got almost two decades ago and never uses? great!
remember how desperately they tried to make ash feel isolated for having a fucking raticate when he had one for half an episode? we're supposed to believe that several dozen people on the ship have a bunch of pallet town starters and butterfrees, but nobody has the evolution of rattata, one of the most common pokemon in the region?
ash should have kept raticate for half the fucking season. give it some fucking character development instead of making out trading to be this shitty experience for everyone involved.
