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. I'm not sure if they should count Gible though, because he didn't get to evolve it. Maybe all fully evolved Pokemon capable of mega-evolution?

Please tell me the Churro Incident conversation is directly from a Kim Possible episode; it sounds SO FAMILIAR and I swear Ron was the one complaining about it. 😂

[@TheRibottoStudios]

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.

[@zekromtrainer1222]

The dumbest reason being that the vines are rampaging throughout Kalos and Greninja can sense their locations while Zygarde cannot.
