Which pokemon do you think will be Ash's water powerhouse by the end of Unova?

[tough]

I think it may be Palpitoad are Oshawott,but who knowns.

Please do not closed this thread,you can closed the first one that i made since that one don't have a poll.

 

[Xebelleon]

Going with Oshawott on this one. The scalchops and shells look to be more useful than any large bits Palpitoad has.

But the wiggly body might make for a defensive pivot. Remember the Muk-Bellsprout fight?

I'm glad you're actually contributing to this section now Tough. Though I would suggest coming up with some thread ideas of your own.

Ah, now thats a hard one.

I'm not quite sure what to expect from Palpitoad to be quite honest. I mean, right now it's obviously a step ahead of Oshawott already. I'd like to see them both evolve, I've always seen Oshawott like it would eventually evolve. Palpitoad could probably evolve somewhat very later in the series. I'd like to see Ash trade at least one of his Pokémon this series, whether it's Palpitoad, I don't know but I'd rule out Oshawott anyway.

This is one of my ideas.

Ash isn't going trade one of his pokemon and i doubt that he will,i can see Palpitoad or maybe Oshawott evolving but who knowns which one will evolve.

You know this how?

Anyway, I think that Palpitoad will become the major powerhouse, I can't see Oshawott evolving. I can though, see Palpitoad evolving and becoming even stronger. He may catch a new water Pokemon, I would suspect it being either Alomomola or Basculin, more the latter than the former, though.

So you didn't copy this thread including the poll? https://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?t=535825 xDDD; It doesn't matter though, but let's try and make some original topics of our own.

It's just a theory. How exactly do you know he might not trade any of his Pokémon? It's fun to speculate. That's the reason you made this thread right?

Why say *who knows? Maybe becoming a powerhouse will involve evolving, that's the whole point of this thread.

If we see Corphish in the Unova league, I'd like it to evolve during a battle. Can't see Ash catching any more water types for now though.

 

[vaporeon7]

I've always thought of Palpitoad as being the Kingler of Unova except a bit more used.

I could see Oshawott being his water powerhouse because being the water starter, it promotes the game a lot more then an armless tadpole frog thing ever could. I do see Oshawott still evolving though. As for what Mew~ said, I actually could see Ash or Cilan or Iris catching a Karrablast and trading it for Bianca's Shelmet for evolution. I couldn't see any of Ash's old Pokemon being the star, no matter how much I want Kingler to shine, it won't happen.

 

[Charicific]

I voted Squirtle :/

If it was a Multiple Choice I would have voted Buizel as well. I simply put my vote based on basic strength. Squirtle is Ash's first water type, so it gets the most EXPERIENCE. Especially since it is still training with the Squirtle Squad.
I don't think I need to elaborate why I could have picked Buizel, it simply had a powerful fighting spirit.

I gotta admit though, the way they handle Oshawott seems like a way to force us to foreshadow something. Something HUGE might come out of this little thing, but I can't guarantee it. Its much more like what happened to Chimchar, being a dumped and striving to develop, then it becomes one of Ash's powerhouse. My feelings for Oshawott matches my feelings toward what happened to Chimchar.
I know that its loosely supported, I didn't give evidence at all but its just the way I see it...

I can somewhat see your point about the focus on Oshawott. After seeing it lose against Bel's father, we'll probably see an evolution.

I wouldn't exactly equate being a starter to promoting the game necessarily as a powerhouse. Piplup had ample screen time and I never considered it a powerhouse. I could see Oshawott being Piplup 2.0 or a anchor to Ash team. On top of that he already has 2 other starters that can be seen as powerhouses if the writers want to go the route of Piplup 2.0 for Oshawott.

Squirtle - He probably won't been scene until post main story or at the league so I can really see him making an impact-fulness that would make me say he is the default powerhouse at the end of the day. Guy is already a powerhouse in his own right, the way he fought Brandon it is just as strong as any others and any other of Ash water types.

Kingler - I can see him making any more of an impact that would make me think it would be a powerhouse either. He is only used in tournament settings, which begs the question well does that mean he is a powerhouse cause he is used when it matters? Ehhh not really to me, I never saw him in BF so I really couldn't say.

Totodile - Do something to prove you merit being mentioned as a powerful pokemon. I don't remember a battle or an worthwhile battle since Silver Conference.

Corphish - If they bring him back because of RS remake then I can see him making some impact, but until then I really can't see him as the powerhouse by the end of the Saga.

Buizel - If they bring him back he has just a good a chance as any to do something. I'm sure we will get to see him prove his worth again during the Conference in Unova.

Oshawott - He sure is one of the most seen pokemon in the Unova Saga, but will that correlate to him evolving or actually shining in battle? That has yet to be seen. Yes he did beat Palpitoad, but I haven't really seen him do much in terms of battle since. He seems to have a bit of cowardice to him, so I don't know how well that reflects him being a powerhouse... Him being a powerhouse to me is dependent on if he actually evolves to Dewott or Samurott which is what I was hoping for at the beginning of the Saga.

Palpitoad - Since his lost to Oshawott he has done nothing but shine. He did good at Don George Tournament, and from the looks of it he won't do to bad against Elesa Zebrastrika. He could be a go to poke in the big matches and from time to time. If he evolves to Seimitoad that will probably solidify it for me as him being the powerhouse.

 

[Perriechu]

Although. If Palpitoad does evolve. I can see something being wrong with Seismitoad, it may not obey him, or have trouble using attacks? iirc there was a main characters Pokemon who had trouble using moves when it evolved... for the life of me, I cannot remember. \: Was it perhaps Sceptile? The reason I think this is - is because Seismitoad seems too powerful for Ash. (Charizard had obeying issues, Sceptile couldn't use attacks for a while etc)

 

[Kenshin5]

It was Sceptile right after he evolved. And as for the not obeying I don't know if they want to go that route twice in one saga. Since they already did that with Excadrill.

 

[PlatinumDude]

Mostl likely, Palpitoad. Oshawott is there for comic relief.

 

[Squirrel]

Not sure why, but I can really see him catching a Jellicent quite late on and this would be very, very strong.

I could see Oshawott evolving or it might not want too evolve at all.Palpitoad seem like it might evolve but who knowns when that might happen.

This topic is a original idea of our own.

It's really not. The link that Mew posted had the same exact title as this thread. Just admit it. .__.

Anyway, about what Kenshin said (About Corphish) I hope he comes back to promote some sort of R/S remake. Even thought they'll probably choose Sceptile for that. Or even May. But I hope that Corphish comes back and learns a new move/evolves.

 

[Kenshin5]

Well they don't necessarily have to bring one pokemon back like they did with Phanphy at the end of Hoenn. We do have a rotation after all so hopefully if they have them as a travel party they are rotating in periodically and if the appear in post Unova arc then I'd see more likely of happening.

The key thing is who gets screen time much less battle time. And Oshawott and Tepig seem to be hogging a lot of both. So maybe it's Oshawott, but he doesn't seem serious enough when it comes to battling so I really can't look at him right now and say this guy is going to be the premier Water type.

And if this was an original idea it wouldn't be a carbon copy of something posted else where, even the poll options as in the last option are the same what a coincide... at least credit I-am-the-peel.

 

[Charicific]

Eventhough Oshawott can be misjudged at the moment, you have got to take notice that Pokemon usually stress on what we call "Irony". They always manage to get the weakest to be the strongest at some point. So I do not doubt Oshawott can be something amazing.
Take the example of Magikarp, the most useless Pokemon there is, however just let it evolve...and the correct term of what you saw is...."Ironic".

 

[Kenshin5]

I've got to say Oshawott is a bit I dunno a mix of a pokemon I think may not amount to a whole lot in battle or on the cusp of greatness. Yes he does have potential to do anything he wants with the amount of screen time he gets, so I guess we will see what they do with him post BW055 since we know he is taking part in the musical there.

And Oshawott never stuck me as the weakest. I felt Scraggy was the weakest there for awhile. I mean all he knew was Headbutt and Leer for the longest time. At this point he seems to have just as much if not more battle potentially then Oshawott. Palpitoad I have no doubt he can be a powerhouse, it's just a matter of are they going to work him into the rotation often enough to get an adequate amount.

Kenshin5,who cares if this thread came from the Serebiiforums site and it is not a copy,it is still a great idea to take that thread from that site and put it here for everybody to voice there opinions on things,if you don't like this thread or the other ones i made then don't post in non of them.


Dragonomega,Even if this thread isn't an original idea which is your opinions,does not mean it won't be good,this thread is put here for people to voice their opinions,if you don't like any of my threads then don't post in them anymore,this thread is still a good idea and you are going to have to admit that it really is.

Back on topic.

I see Oshawott being the water type powerhouse wether it evolves or not. Palpitoad can become a very powerful powerhouse,it will take time.
