ya i think seviper was so strong the episode when she caught it, when it beat treeko, but now it seems weaker... same w/ ash's tailow, he/she took many thunder attacks but in the pelipper episode it took 1 flamethrower and fainted, it just seems like the took away strengths of pokemon and makes the whole show less realistic... im glad you agree, i mean if i saw 1 i would probably be too scared to be near it, but the way jessie trains is is wierd b/c now she ahrdly uses it and uses dustox. i do think (considering she is my fav char) that she has great potential and s a great trainer. she looses every battle almost and has only 3 pokemon, but can be very strong and losing that many times and constantly trying anyway shows she and james and meowth are great pokemon (trainers) and i think mewoth should evolve soon b/c of all the battles. also like in the princess festival episode, she only had 2 of the 4 pokemon that she used, yet she still battled as tho they were her own, and even her lickytoungue that she caught that day lsitened to her as if she had it a lifetime. i do htink w/ a tr. like her, her seviper has great potential
