First to Catch Ash Ketchum's Pokémon Wins

[@MandJTVPlays]

"You forgot Beedrill/Raticate/Seaking!" We did not! As I say at 2:26, we only care about Pokemon Ash had for at least one episode. All of those he had for less than the duration of an entire episode. (also get your Mytey plush and Team Sky merch at ▶ mandjtvmerch.com/ ◀)

Yes Gengar was abandoned because his original trainer couldn't win and couldn't catch Pokemon. He attributed his bad luck to Gengar, and told Gengar to wait for him to come back. And so he did. But because it was abandoned when the trainer returned, it attacked him, and all humans. I honestly don't get how people can be so mean to Pokemon. Like animal abuse tends to land people with the inability to have animals and prison time in some cases. I wonder what the law for Pokemon abuse would be like. Also yes Ash releasing Greninja THE dumbest thing the anime has done since just all of black and white. And for the DUMBEST REASON too. And no I will never shut up about it.

XY would be especially easy, because, including Pikachu, Ash only had 6 team members for that region. I would add the condition to also catch every Pokemon that he has that could mega-evolve.
