So now it seems like neither Cyndaquil nor Totodile are coming back. Thanks a lot, Johto saga, you screwed both of them. And now Ash has just what the Poké-noobs want. Just wait, DP100 or so, Ash'll get Riolu, too.

Now of course, we all know this: Ash currently has five Pokémon in his party.

Pikachu	Turtwig	Staravia	Chimchar	Buizel	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png ???

Let's examine the past for a moment, shall we? Let's go back and look at Ash's party over the course of all of the regions. Each time it is changed, I will note the episode number.

Kanto

EP001

Ash starts with Pikachu. Oak gives him five Poké Balls and a Pokédex with which to capture Pokémon.

Pikachu	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png

EP003

Ash captures a Caterpie. This is why Ash's Seaking is notable: Ash caught it.

Pikachu	Caterpie	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png

Ash is an idiot! He sends Caterpie into battle against a Pidgeotto! True genius. Glad he's matured since then... for real. He calls Caterpie back because Misty tells him he's an idiot, sends out Pikachu, and then captures Pidgeotto!

Pikachu	Caterpie	Pidgeotto	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png

Team Rocket appears! Pidgeotto is defeated, Pikachu is sludged, and only Caterpie remains. It SOMEHOW manages to kick both Koffing's AND Ekans's asses. Then it evolves!

Pikachu	Metapod	Pidgeotto	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png

EP004

Ash gets into his first official battle... with some idiot Bug Catcher. He misses catching a Weedle. He loses Metapod to some Beedrill, but manages to get it back. Metapod is injured protecting his stupid ass from a Beedrill, but then... Butterfree comes out!

Pikachu	Butterfree	Pidgeotto	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png

EP010

After beating the crap out of two Gyms with just three Pokémon, Ash encounters a Bulbasaur. Misty demonstrates her lack of knowledge about Pokémon NATIVE TO HER OWN REGION. Ash captures Bulbasaur after it tries to kill Misty for wanting an Oddish.

Pikachu	Butterfree	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png

EP011

Some stupid asshole releases his Charmander and leaves it on a rock. Dammit, why does Ash continually get pre-owned Fire-type starters?

Pikachu	Butterfree	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charmander	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png

EP012

A bunch of asshole Squirtle are terrorizing a town. No one is doing anything about it, so Ash has to stop by and lay down the law. Great job being a police force, Jenny. Ash eventually helps, then captures the leader of the Squirtle Squad.

Pikachu	Butterfree	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charmander	Squirtle

EP013

Ash has only six Pokémon at this point, and Gary has like, 20,000,000. So Ash decides to catch one more: A Krabby. Then the ball disappears and he wonders where the hell it went. Looks like SOMEONE wasn't paying attention... So now, Ash has 7 Pokémon, with a Pokédex listing of 9. And he's already going for his third badge.

Pikachu	Butterfree	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charmander	Squirtle
At Oak's
Krabby

EP015

Ash actually trades something! But it's the first Pokémon he caught. Good job, moron. You know you get attached to those. I know I was in Diamond, with Gruntilda.

Pikachu	Raticate	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charmander	Squirtle
At Oak's
Krabby

So then he trades back. Ah well, at least now he has 10 in his dex listing.

Pikachu	Butterfree	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charmander	Squirtle

Krabby

EP021

And then Ash does it again. He releases Butterfree! It was, like, his best Pokémon... and that's saying something for a Butterfree in Generation I.

Pikachu	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charmander	Squirtle	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png
At Oak's
Krabby

EP023

Just to make it legal to have Haunter with him, Ash released Butterfree. That's the ONLY reasoning I see for it.

Krabby

EP024

But then he gives it to Sabrina. Genius!

EP025

Oh, but then here comes my favorite episode, just because it demonstrates completely Ash's lack of maturity.

Pikachu	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charmander	Squirtle	Primeape
At Oak's
Krabby

EP029

And then the ass releases it, because the guy wants to make it a "real P1 champion". Dude, it JUST KICKED YOUR HITMONCHAN'S ASS TO BE THAT ANYWAY. Ash demonstrates once again that he's a complete idiot.

Pikachu	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charmander	Squirtle	File:PokeBallSpriteSmall.png
At Oak's
Krabby

EP030

Ash demonstrates that he doesn't know the difference between a streaker and a stalker. He captures Muk, which later proves useful in League matches... but only those.

Pikachu	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charmander	Squirtle	Muk
At Oak's
Krabby

Then he Oaks it.

EP035

Then Ash captures 30 Tauros when trying to capture ANYTHING BUT. Idiot. We never see this because the US is afraid of guns, yet we're like, the only country on Earth where citizens are free to carry one...

Then, for the first time since Metapod evolved, something of Ash's actually evolves... and becomes an arrogant ass.

And then Charmeleon evolves...

...and Ash finds an egg. Generation II is encroaching...

Krabby			Muk

EP050

And the egg hatches... AND MISTY STEALS IT. What the HELL, man. She then proceeds to baby it and it does nothing useful at all until the Orange Islands, then for some reason stops being awesome and sits there in her arms episode after episode until AG045.

Ash hasn't captured anything in FOREVER. But he decides to ACTUALLY USE KRABBY.

Pikachu	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charizard	Squirtle	Krabby
At Oak's
Muk
Tauros(x30)

And so it decides to kick ass and evolve. They were seriously just looking for a reason to say it didn't suck.

Muk
Tauros(x30)

EP077

And now, Ash looks like he's doing good. He's winning his way up, with TOTALLY UNEVOLVED POKÉMON. He Oaks Kingler for Muk.

Pikachu	Pidgeotto	Bulbasaur	Charizard	Squirtle	Muk

And then he blows it because Charizard doesn't want to battle. Idiot. BUT HEY. Now Pidgeotto finally evolves!

Kingler			Muk

But he releases it. What the hell, man. I'm surprised he didn't release Charizard-- oh wait.

EP111

And... Snorlax decides to be a lazy ass. Wonderful. So Ash decides to go with "beginner's luck" once more and brings Tauros in return for Snorlax.

EP134

Ash releases Charizard... sorta. He basically says "go live in the Charicific Valley and train", not knowing that Charizard's definition of "train" includes Charla.

EP141

But not to worry... Ash isn't totally screwed against the Bug-type Gym Leader because he has nothing that weakens Bugs... because he catches a Cyndaquil!

Kingler		Muk		Snorlax

And Ash dumps Heracross off at Oak's for a Tauros, because he has a million.

Ash asks Oak for Heracross back, but Oak wants to keep it there (excuses, excuses...) so Ash just sends Tauros back.

EP194

A while has passed... Ash wins two competitions with a Seaking and a Beedrill, both of which he does not keep. Now, entered in another competition, he leaves Noctowl at Oak's for his sumo champion.

Pikachu	Bulbasaur	Chikorita	Cyndaquil	Totodile	Snorlax

Oak's got a problem at his lab... and he needs Ash's Bulbasaur to fix it. So Ash sends Bulbasaur back... and all that remains of Ash's Kanto crew on his team now... is Pikachu.

Ash arrives in Hoenn. Team Rocket steals Pikachu, so he's got nothing else. Guess he'll have to send out ??????????...

But he gets Pikachu back quickly, starts off with May, and heads toward Petalburg!

...and a different Fire-type... Ironically, even though Corphish can evolve, it never does, and Torkoal can't anyway... Methinks Ash is giving preferential treatment to one of his three major types...

BUT WAIT. FRLG and E have just come out! You know what that means! FILLER SEASON!

And so, Brock and Ash leave May and Max in Hoenn and it's time for them to go...

Back to Kanto

AG133

Ash starts off again from Pallet Town, now going to see all the stuff he didn't see the first time he went through Kanto (in 80 episodes!), and to take the Battle Frontier challenge. And to start off, he dumps his crybaby at Oak's for a Johto Pokémon that didn't get much screentime...

And it's not Cyndaquil. DAMMIT.

Plus he dumps his iceball.

Beats me. Probably Riolu. Just to be stereotypically following the noobs. Gonna evolve Chimchar all the way, too? Go for it. Cyndaquil's not important. Stupid... stupids.
