    Have you ever hoped something would happen that they were hinting at for an episode or several episodes, but the thing you were hoping for never came to pass?

    Like for instance I can think of at least three instances where I hoped something happen and I ended up being disappointed with the outcome.

    1. Back in the original Saga I remember seeing an awful lot of Bulbasaur, and Charmeleon evolved into Charizard 5 episodes back so I was hoping maybe with the amount we are seeing from Bulbasaur he will evolve soon I mean he is one of Ash strongest pokemon. Then we get to Bulbasaur Mysterious Garden, I was for sure this would be the episode that we would get to see Ash get Ivysaur. First Bulbasaur beats the Rhyhorn and somebody commented Bulbasaur was quite strong, then it's Bulb stared to glow. So I was thinking OMG it's going to evolve! And Nurse Joy confirms it's close to evolving so I was even more excited. Then by the end of the episode it refused to evolve. I was thinking really! We have two pokemon through 51 episodes that have already refused to evolve I mean who's next! I was mad to say the least.

    2. The next one involves Ash leaving Larvitar with it's mother. Yes I understand that the who point was too reunite Larvitar with it's mother. But I just liked the chemistry and bond they developed over a short amount of episodes. I was hoping that Larvitar and it's mom would reunite then at the end of the episode Tyranitar would tell Larvitar "If you really want to go with your friend then go for it, it's time to start your own journey". But that obviously didn't happen so it stayed with it's more. I was not exactly happy with that.

    3. This one is recent, since it's in the Best Wishes Saga. There was a bit of a hint that Sunglasses Sandile wanted to do something different then remain at the hot springs but I thought eh nice pokemon of the day we will never see again. Then there was episode 12 were it attacked Pikachu and Ash and I thought this is more then a coincidence, I mean why would Sandile go out of it's way to do that. Then episode 20 by there again we meet up with Sandile. This time it has it's glasses stolen so we see a different more affectionate side to it. Ash helps the little Croc out to get it's glasses back, then it resumes the battle after it is all over. So I thought for sure this was going to be a capture of Sandile for sure. NO whats it do evolves into Krokorok and gets blasted off... I was peeved with this show of events. There is still hope for that one even if it is a slim chance.
     
    Hmmm... Well I guess one of the biggest ones I can remember right now would be the whole GS ball concept, I mean seriously. They went over through it for quite long, going through the orange islands etc.. I was hoping there would be some kind of Pokémon inside there once I first saw it. Though obviously I didn't know about the whole Celebi idea. But yeah, eventually they decided to scrap the idea due to movie 4.

    I guess a few other hopeful hints would be some Pokémon you think the main cast will catch. For example, Ash bonded quite a lot with that Riolu in DP, but eventually gives him to that old guy, which I think could have been his owner anyway though. There are other Pokémon too though, like Cottonee and various other Pokémon Ash encountered with and bonded.
    There was also that time when Misty thought here Psyduck evolved, I really wanted her to keep that Golduck, it was funny. xD
    Theres also the Vulpix Brock was given, he had it for such a long time and didn't really do much with it, which really made me think it was pointless having it. But anyway, I always wanted him to evolve it, since Ninetales is a favourite of mine, but he gave it back to Suzy.
