[@castform7]

While I'm not really a fan of how Pignite was another Fire starter that got abandonned, I have to admit it was quite charming. Plus I wouldn't mind calling it the ace or at least co-ace because while I think Krookodile is stronger, like Heracross it takes more than just strength to be an ace. Also, he made Fire Pledge look like a really cool move.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Yeah he was definitely a bit redundant but I still love him as a character

[@felixlee9645]

True

[@jaredlanglitz5651]

I never knew Pignite learned Brick Break, I thought it was Arm Thrust. Despite Pignite having a Flame Charge strong enough to stop Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, and Giga Impact, I think Krookadile is the ace of gen. 5. It would’ve been nice to see Pignite evolve once more to become a big boar, Snivy would’ve been very proud, while Oshawott would be jealous and try to fight his big brother to no avail. Some Pokémon I’d like to see next are either Jame’s Yamask or Cacnea. This is the 100th Pokémon history video, by which I mean just Pokémon and not trainers/ultimate teams.

[@TKnHappyNess]

It was only during the League where Pignite used Brick Break against Cameron's Hydreigon

[@adrianmaselle5110]

I agree with you Krookodile is Ash Ace in The Unova region

[@ajserafica3983]

Both Ash’s Pignite and Krockodile’s debute in Ash’s Unova journey both of them were equally impressive and I can’t decide which of them were the ace in the series. All there is to know about them is their incredible Pokémon and there’s no right or wrong answer.

[@philipjackson8974]

Love how ash is always able to bring out the best in all his pokemon and show how real love can nurture the best out of us

Pignite had a rough past, but thanks to Ash and Snivy, he managed to overcome his trauma and become such a strong and reliable teammate.

[@lynseyshrewsbury7973]

Please do a history on Dawn’s Piplup next time! They have such an awesome dynamic and I’ve always been impressed that it refuses to evolve all because his trainer inspired him to become strong in his own way!

[@oldscoolgaming6700]

5:54 Since Oshawott was like the annoying little brother, and Snivy played kind big sister, I suppose that made Tepig the middle sibling.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

[@alakazamlover4908]

through quailava in there too, make it a fire-pokemon fiesta while personalities are different, they're all fire types

[@bige81892]

Anyone would think that tepigs initial inexperience would deter ash from using it in too many battles. But if anything, it seem to only make him use it all the more for the sake of it growing. I love how tepig basically went from the runt of the litter, to Krookodiles rival for Ash’s Ace of Unova. Krookodile has the best wind streak, but Pignite has the most compelling character development and backstory. It’s trading ember for flamethrower really demonstrated the fruits of its labor and foreshadowed it’s future as an ace. I agree it should’ve evolved all the way though.

[@hiddenfan-37]

Agree with the fact that Pignite should have been an Emboar. Though I think that if Emboar was Ash's Unova ace, we would be in a situation where three of Ash's aces are fully evolved Fire-type starters that were abandoned by abusive trainers (Charizard, Infernape, Emboar), which feels overused and lackluster.

[@CoolNala]

It's Charizard 2.0, minus fully evolving. I wish he would have fully evolved, but his friendship with Charizard was adorable to say the least. However, he just feels like another Quilava... Had potential to be an Ace of his own, but got overshadowed by Charizard and another Ace in Krookodile. Still a decent Pokémon, but needed that little more, like Incineroar.

[@ProfessorAlexSilver]

Much agreed

Honestly Pignite was one of my favourite Pokémon Ash caught. I think while it was another fire starter that got abandoned like Charizard and infernape I think that it was handled better than Charizard in terms of the abandoned part. I do agree that Pignite should have evolved into Embour and I’m very glad that you mention that he was the co ace along with Krookodile.

Great video, like always!

[@ashelygordon669]

Back when Unova was first introduced, I used to passionately despise the Tepig evolution line but looking back at now. My only gripe with it is repeating the Fire/Fighting Type. I also dislike the fact how Ash’s Pignite was yet another Pokémon being abandoned/mistreated by a careless trainer but despite that, I still love Ash’s Pignite and while I wholeheartedly agree that I would like to see him being fully evolved into Emboar, I personally think that Ash’s Pignite was fine as it was and he was one of Ash’s best Unova fighters. Not to mention that the reception of the Tepig line at the time was mostly despised unfortunately. But at least I appreciate Pignite’s design. 🤡💕

In truth, apart from Pignite should have evolved into Emboar, Pignite fell under the "This is the best you can come up with?" category, given that his story arc, along with "Evolution by Fire!" having a low audience rating, was unoriginal and lazy. We already had Charizard and Infernape, so why did the writers think that fans wanted another abandoned Fire-starter as the ace? This is also the reason why Krookodile became the Unova ace.

I liked Pignite, but felt him like most unova mons got their stories & progression only halfway. I would've liked to see Snivy & Pignite meet Snivy's original trainer but it turns out to be an opposite situation than usual: the trainer released Snivy but actually felt bad & decided to treat pokemon better moving forwards. Snivy wouldn't belive it and would spend the whole episode angry, wanting to hate her old trainer and see them for the monster she thought they were. Pignite would be there for her and it would culminate in a double battle where Snivy would finally let go of her hate for said trainer, evolving mid-battle. This could've then lead to both it & Pignite evolving together later on.

[@TheSebliterator]

Pignite was Ash's second most powerful Unova pokemon behind Krookodile. Despite Ash losing to Cameron, Pignite and Pikachu pretty much carried most of the battle by themselves to keep it from becoming one-sided, considering they were the only ones to beat any of Cameron's team, scoring 2 wins each.

You know, as a thought for future videos, or perhaps as a video idea at some point by itself, it would be interesting to see how the battle records change after Ash's Pokémon evolved (where applicable, of course). Seeing their overall battle record is cool, but it certainly seemed to me that Pignite won more battles after evolving compared to as a Tepig. I think it would be fun to see the comparison and if any Pokémon actually got a worse battle record after evolving compared to prior. But, as per usual, it was a great video!

I'm sure the writers were initially going "Pignite shares the same tragic backstory like Charizard and Infernape therefore he automatically should be the Unova ace", which is complete BS because anyone who watched the DP and original series could easily point out the similarities.

Ash’s pignite is a controversial one because a lot people don’t like it’s design and being a another charizard case! But I happen to like pignite because 1, I love the bond between ash & OfCourse Charizard! And 2, I loved the battles in was in and that it won against both Rodney’s golurk and ofcourse shamus’s Team! I feel pignite is under appreciated and deserves credit for being a decent battler besides that one reason why I think they didn’t evolve pignite in Unova is just so the writters would make it less of a charizard clone! That’s my thoughts on pignite on ash’s team and tepig is cute and I still respect pignite and I love its personality and battling sprite.

[@hiddenfan-37]

He's not a bad battler and he definitely should have been Emboar. Whether fully evolved or not, his story was downright lazy since it copy-pastes story elements from Infernape and Charizard (Look at Charmander: The Stray Pokemon and Battling a Thaw in Relations and you'll see the similarities to Evolution by Fire). I think the writers tried to use the "Tepig shares the same tragic backstory as Charizard and Infernape, therefore he automatically deserves to be the Unova ace" story which is complete BS because anyone who watched the DP and original series could point out the similarities. On top of that, Pignite is the main reason why the abandoned Fire-starter story was no longer a welcoming concept.

I at least somewhat understand that this is meant to show ash has not fully matured as a trainer, but cmon man, fully evolving your chimchar is cool but not your Tepig? :c

She scolded the manager below her rank (then 25) for not noticing I had signed up to go solo. When she asked him if she thought I could do the shift, I answered for him with a firm "yes," because I felt belittled by her. She said she didn't think so, was all "I've told you not to sign up for shifts by yourself, I've been very clear about that, I don't know how much clearer I can get for you to listen," and she told me I need someone there to give me instructions and guide me. Four years prior to that confrontation, and she had no faith in me. And then what happened that night? I fought a very tall, strong robber, using my hand-eye coordination and the environment against him.
