>Ash caught Primape in episode 25
>Primape was literally given away four episodes later
>and these were the only two episodes where Primape actually appeared
>>25543545
And for some reason people still remembers Primeape as if it was a important pokémon in Ash's team.
>>25543545
So?
>>25543545
They really wanted to sell the whole, "Pokemon can be traded or released" in Gen 1 for no fucking reason.
I'm surprised they didn't have Ash keep the Ratticate he got from a trade.
Actually, I don't know how something like this could've possibly happened in a show that's planned. They must've literally had no guidelines for how the show was to operate between gyms, but even then, who approved of this? Did they just not care as long as it filled space?
>>25543660
>Did they just not care as long as it filled space?
no, they dont. the show is 90% filler and they have to use as many pokemon as they can.

>Butterfree will never come back
>>25543871
At least he's banging that Pink Butterfree
>>25543676
That doesn't mean they can't just showcase a Pokémon in an episode without Ash catching it, which is what they do the vast majority of the time. Having Ash catch a Pokémon only to release it in a latter episode just wasted two episodes instead of one.
>>25543897
what if after mating, buterfree die
>>25543897
>tfw no pink butterfree in game
>>25543578
Well that's because it had more personality than most of his pokemon, and he also had to work a lot harder with it
I remember being dead certain Primeape was gonna come back for the league or something
>>25543871
Considering how fast some bug pokemon grow and age, butterfree is probably dead.

p-pls
>>25544323
>Well that's because it had more personality t
You mean its was a feral ape
>>25545326
People just like it because it had a habit of punching people in the face
>>25544323
>Well that's because it had more personality than most of his pokemon
>is literally only rampaging all the time
>had a different personality than that for literally 10s which any fillermon pulls off
>>25543545
It appeared in the later seasons also as as a flashback which is the fucked up part. They KNOW it exists
>>25544323
Please. The fighting tornament it participated in was total bullshit. No way a primeape would ace that over other fighting types in Kanto
>>25545334
>>25545340
Ok maybe i worded it badly
"in its debut episode it made a more memorable appearance than most other pokeon Ash catches"
There, that's right, isn't it? the episode was fricking hilarious
>>25545361
Did they forget they dumped it in whogivesashitvile?
>>25543578
>And then doesn't remember legendaries
>>25544323
Punching children isn't a personality. Also, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle actually did have personalities. It was just kind of hard to spot them except in that episode where they were lost in an island after the SS Anne shipwreck. Charmander was the timid one, Bulbasaur was the cynical tough guy, and Squirtle was the jerk with a heart of gold. Pikachu was the generic brave guy like Ash, I guess.

>Punching children isn't a personality
sure it is, it's called having a mood disorder, that's a personality right?
