People really undersell what Ash has done for the Pokémon he's caught. If Ash had never left Pallet Town, Chimchar would have struggled with his trauma for the rest of his life, Froakie would have continued to feel alone, Bulbasaur and Snivy would have remained cautious of humans, Charmander would have died without Damian ever coming back...

I’m glad the show constantly called out the emotional abuse and toxic environment that Paul forced Chimchar to live in. It was really heartwarming to see Chimchar finally be with a trainer who loves it and thrive under that love rather than with Paul whose abuse threatened to hurt it even more. Seeing Chimchar break down after Ash praised it fully expecting out of habit to be yelled at or abused more was incredibly heartbreaking. It showed how much it really suffered under Paul’s abuse. Paul never deserved Chimchar’s ability. It’s so great it finally found happiness and purpose with Ash.

@@loturzelrestaurant When it comes to which Stats to boost, I'm afraid that's something you'll have to figure out yourself, as it's your choice how you wanna play a Pokemon. For example, my favourite Pokemon in competitive play is Gliscor, for its amazing defensive capabilities, with 252 HP and Def EVs but I also sometimes decide to take an offensive Rock Polish-Swords Dance Set with 252 Atk and Speed EVs. Other Pokemon like Blacephalon are not that versatile and are mainly only played one way, specially offensive in the case of Blacephalon. And then there are special cases, where you want to specifically design a Pokemon for certain situations, so you give a Pokemon like Sceptile maximum Attack EVs and a little investment in speed, so it can safely outspeed even the fastest Scarfer in its tier after an Unburden Boost, and the rest goes into HP, Def or SpDef. When it comes to where to train EVs, in Sword/Shield I do it mainly by farming Money and buying Protein and that stuff, in the previous generations there were always specific routes where training for specific EVs was the easiest. I really miss the horde battles from the 6th generation for that.

that's the thing about pokemon. The rules are actually pretty strict for the battle conduct, and its more like sparring. As the show has expressed, pokemon can turn on their trainers or refuse to obey. And trainers are supposed to recognize when their pokemon need to stop fighting and recall them, and forfeit when necessary. In the old Indigo League, Ash nearly was disqualified from the League for trying to take on Blaine's Magmar with his Pikachu.

And the fact that it did get stronger as it evolved and had a final batt,e with electivire which as elekid it formerly battled with had his arc come full circle.

Pokémon Journey shouldn't exist like the Sun and Moon. Why do you want old characters to come back so much when they are simply humiliated there. Now anime is already crap and apart from Kanto Pokémon in particular Charizard and Eevee, everyone else will be humiliated, simply because people know Kanto more and they want Charizard to be number 1 and the writers are doing so. this anime is just fake and everything is done to get people to suck at Charizard and Eevee.

Ash’s Infernape was the Pokémon that got me back into franchise. Out of all of Ash’s Pokémon, I swear Infernape had the most character growth and made me respect Ash in most of the series. I am a little bummed that his return in Journeys was rather short and sweet (also I agree with you 100% that Infernape was cheated out of a full battle with a legendary but honestly it’s match up with Moltress was at a disadvantage). I kinda wish Ash did rotate in at least one of his Pokémon from a previous journey into his roster just so we can watch the interactions between his current team and the previous team mate. I can only imagine Lucario’s instant rivalry with Infernape if they were to finally meet. Shame Ash didn’t introduce his SwSh team to the rest of the gang

I personally also hold a similar sentiment in regards to these 2 Pokemon as well, mainly because Infernape had a better emotional payoff in the end than Greninja did, seeing it finally prove itself to it's former trainer who abused and abandoned it after it failed to live up to Paul's unreasonably high expectations. Greninja, on the other hand, felt a little bit cliche to me, being a sort of "destined partner" to Ash that the writers desperately wanted to feel like it was a special Pokemon, which makes it all the more nonsensical that they had Ash eventually release it, even if it ultimately was for a good cause. It's also worth noting that Infernape got to have a huge meaningful victory against Ash's main rival for the series, meanwhile Greninja fell short of beating Alain's Charizard all 3 times they fought, and the final arc right after was more so about Zygarde, I felt, than Ash and Greninja, of whom seemed to be there more so to push the plot forward because they needed to be present, seeing as they are main characters. Tl;DR -- I much prefer Infernape's story to the one they gave Greninja

@@ProfessorAlexSilver Paul is a bit like Seto Kaiba but more on an extreme level that's backed by what Robert De Niro says as his character Jack Byrnes in Meet the Fockers "I learn from pain." So Chimchar's lucky to have a trainer who'll push him hard, but unfortunately, Paul is way too harsh and I can't help but feel at best borderline heartless. It makes me wish that there was a character like Solomon Muto to teach Paul "The heart of the cards". Cynthia could have done that, but I couldn't help but feel she didn't get through to Paul for him to understand. By the way, I can't help but feel that Solomon could feel and see that Ash has "The heart of the cards".

This is one of my all-time favorite Pokemon stories. Infernape's one of my favorite Pokemons ever besides Greninja, Blaziken, Sceptile, & some others & this story background was so far in depth that I always go back & watch Diamond & Pearl. I wished that Sceptile had something more in depth even though I thoroughly enjoyed his story, too. He helped shape the Ash-Paul rivalry & not only showed how one trainer's style differentiates from the other, but also showed how treating a Pokemon can affect them in such a grueling way. It came back to bite Paul too. When Ash & Infernape took down Paul & Electrivire, it was poetic justice!
