I don't hate any of Ash's Pokemon, because at least one time or another they sucked when they shouldn't have sucked. Example, Pikachu vs Ursaring. Someone tell me how the Pokemon that fought and beat a Regice, lost to an Ursaring! I guess I missed the memo when Ursaring was stronger than Regi's, but a couple of episodes before Paul was getting his ass handed to him by that same set of Regi's. By the way Buziel is getting the most gym battle attention because he is battler and Ash knows that and that's why he uses him. And at least some of the gyms he has a reason to battle. Like him vs Floatzel was obvious, him vs Steelix obvious. But Buziel is a battler and that's why Ash keeps using him. And the reason Pikachu suddenly starts to suck in every region is because of the new viewers to the anime, no one wants to see Pikachu finishing everyone off with one hit. However that is no excuse for his losses to an Elekid, Drifblim, or that Ursaring.
