Too bad he has to use Pikachu. I would just love it if the anime didn't teach people to use absolutely terrible Pokemon and moves, though..
I would also love it if the anime writers weren't such numbskulls.

Except he has no way to get a Salamence, would have to go back to Altomare to get Latias, and Blissey don't fight in the anime.

If anything Latias wouldn't leave Alto Mare even if she has feelings for Ash(or any kind of that BS). In fact, I thought it was rather stupid since Ash hasn't even bothered to grind his Gible prior to the competition. And even then he could've called in better stuff(read: Charizard) instead of lolwhat Torkoal and Quilava...

I haven't watched the terrible anime since the few decent first-generation episodes, so I don't know the story to anything. All I'm saying is that I wish whoever's in charge of the anime would stop making the characters use horrible unviable Pokemon, even if it is just a kid's show (Is it really that bad to show a bit of "professional" competitive battles in the show?).

I'm still in favor of them completely restarting the anime (except its rated m, or whatever tv ratings are called). Pokemon, humor, strategy, and adult content all in one show, yes please.

Also, Ashes best team probably consists of,

Charizard
Pikachu
Sceptile
Infernape
(these are obious)

Bulbasaur
Squirtle
(These have a lot of experience and did beat Brandon)

EDIT: Also, anything he does with Latias is pokephillia.

Also, where did he get a Blissey?

He doesn't have a Salamence either.

Although really Ash needs to capture a legendary Pokemon RIGHT NOW. Other people have done it(Brandon, Tobias aka Mr. I'm-a-noob, a random Nurse Joy who has a damn Latias, etc.)

Again, he could go pick up Latias (assuming he doesn't get arrested for pokephilia/animal abuse). Then again, doesn't he have an in with at least one of the legendaries he's rescued...

If Ash has to capture a legendary Pokemon, then he should just capture Ho-Oh. Seriously. He's seen that thing on Episode 1, and has been seeing it ever since. Anime developers, just let Ash capture the Ho-Oh and move on in life.

I consider Ho-Oh out of his leauge, he's better off befriending Latios/Latias or cozying up to one Manaphy/Victini or one of the dogs/birds.

Ash probably has a good shot at getting Mew, Mewtwo, Celebi (several), Suicune, Latias, Latios, or Darkrai, since he befriended them all in the past. Latias is the most likely (you all know why), but also he has saved the life of several Celebi (Celebi movie, random pokeranger episode in sinnoh, zoroark movie), so he could have a good chance of getting those to help him too.

Gen 5 was so good to Ash giving him Eviolite for his inept mons.

Reminds me, I wish items played a bigger role in the Anime too, though in order to be used properly, they would probably have to actually battle properly too, and that's all just way too much to ask for.

To be fair, give him Gliscor or Torterra so his entire team isn't completely frail.

At least that's one improvement; he's evolving more of his Pokemon. Though why his Torterra hasn't won a single match since evolving is beyond me...

Well, as much as I support Altoshipping, the trouble is that Latias is in a movie. Never has anything from the movie being considered canon, although you can somewhat argue that Latias' movie is canon(because Ash apparently knows what is a Latios ._.)

Staraptor/swallow, heracross, snorlax or his possible emboar or serp

But How does glalie float? It can't be hot air because he will melt so what is it?

If he doesn't get a Samurott, I'm going to bitch-slap the creators... or I should just go now. His water starters never evolve ;~;

Nope. Glalie is a master troll, that's why Trollfreak made a 'legendary' that has exactly the same bases as him in D/P, then proceeded to give him Moody in B/W.

Glalie is lucky it isn't ice/rock typing, as it's pokedex entry suggests... Even pure Ice is better than that.
