    Scraggy is easily my first choice, my favourite Pokemon of BW after Snivy. His trouble making ways remind me a little of Ash's Corphish in AG, who I also loved. I worry that he won't prosper under this current incarnation of Ash, who seems to be having trouble training any of his Pokemon, let alone a temperamental baby, but we'll have to wait and see.

    Second choice is much more difficult, but I guess I'll have to go with Palpitoad. I haven't seen much of him in action yet, but I like him much more than the others. I hope we get to see him interact with Cilan's Stunfisk; I see them as the gangsters of the group. Plus, since none of the remaining gym leaders use Grass-types, the writers won't be able to troll us and make Ash look like an idiot for using Palpitoad against them. (If he uses Swadloon against Skyla, I swear I'll quit watching)

    Zuruggu is an easy choice, but if Pokabu evolves I can see it getting put on the backburner for a bit. But it has a lot of personality and potential (especially if it evolves) so I'd like to see him stick around.

    I'm torn over Gamagaru, Dangoro/Gantle and Hatoboh though.

    Gamagaru is a Ground/Water type, but he already has a water type in Mijumaru. However, the immunity to electricity is a nice bonus. Depends what moves it learns, really.

    Dangoro/Gantle...I'm assuming it has the Sturdy ability, if that's showcased at all, and again, could come in handy come the league. Rock types are always a nice addition to a team.

    Hatoboh...eh. It hasn't done too much so far, and it's just the standard 'Satoshi's Normal/Flying catch'. Again, a Flying type would be a nice addition. But does he NEED a flying type? Not really, no.

    In the end, I say Zuruggu and Dangoro/Gantle. We don't know if Pokabu is going to evolve, so a Fighting type will be good to have around, and Dangoro/Gantle would add a nice balance.

    I like how the last option says bolbore, because that's exactly what it is.

    Scraggy and Palpitoad for sure. I mean, I actually have a soft spot for Tranquil, because I loved using it in the games and the fact that it mirrors Trip's pokemon makes for some possible parallels later, but...she hasn't been living up to her full potential.

    Scraggy on the other hand has an excellent personality and is actually getting some focus and development. Plus, it has that bromance thing going with Axew, making that little lizard demon more tolerable.

    And Palpitoad is just an awesome pokemon and I hope it evolves and/or marry Stunfisk and lays several eggs or whatever.

    Swadloon's cute, but it has no personality. At least Scraggy and Palpitoad have more potential to be interesting. Scraggy in particular, I was surprised that it hasn't got more screen-time.

    Palpitoad and Scraggy for sure. Scraggy has had pretty good development, and both Pokémon have much more personality than the other three. Those two just have the most potential.

    I'd go with Scraggy and Palpitoad. Scraggy does have a nice personality, which more of Ash's Unova Pokemon really need, it is kind of interesting and kind of cute in a way too. I'm not a huge fan of Scraggy myself, mainly because it hasn't done that much in the series. Though, to be fair, I still mainly just watch the dub, so I could be unaware of anything it has done past this week's episode. Palpitoad is basically okay. I like that it does have moves that make it stand out from Oshawott, unlike Swadloon with Snivy, and being a Water/Ground type helps to make it more useful in battle. I don't think it has much of a personality and I still don't like that they had Ash catch a Pokemon that knew Hydro Pump fairly early into the region journey, but other than that, it's okay.

    Tranquil and Swadloon are just there. Tranquil hasn't really done anything significant other than capturing Snivy for Ash back when she was a Pidove and her evolution still feels completely pointless to me. I don't mind Ash capturing the usual early route Flying type, although I agree his team doesn't really need a Flying type, but it feels like the writers aren't even trying to do anything with Tranquil with either, such as giving it a good moveset like they did with Staraptor or make it a strong battler like Swellow was. They aren't even really having Tranquil interact with the other Pokemon or with Ash to help create a bond between them. I actually forgot all about Swadloon for awhile, which is a shame since I actually liked the episode where Ash caught it as a Sewaddle. The bonding between them was rather sweet and it did have a fun personality. The problem with it, as others have mentioned, is that Swadloon hasn't had a personality since its debut episode and it hasn't done anything since the third Gym match. Boldore is okay, especially since it was used after its capture episode unlike Palpitoad, but I prefer Palpitoad design wise and its moveset.

    Tranquill is as said before pointless. It is way too generic to be interesting and is often forgotten about. If Ash had to get a flier this gen then it should have been Braviary/Wargle. That fits Ash's personality perfectly I'd say. Archen would have been a better choice as well.

    Scraggy is one of the few things they did right, and one of the few things that seemed to actually have some forethought to it. Scraggy is just a good fit, good normal development, and seems like he actually belongs on Ash's team.

    Swadloon feels pointless too. They aren't doing anything with him at all. He may have had potential but its far too late now.

    Palpitoad is cool. Good battler and good typing. Hes more justified than every reserved not named Scraggy.

    Boldore... why are you even here? lol

    Scraggy seems to be fine with Ash because I can't bear to see it getting separated from his "older brother" Axew.

    The other choice doesn't matter. Each pokemon has its own purpose. Tranquill may be a generic bird pokemon, but by all means it is the only pokemon Ash has on him that can navigate the area through the skies. Iris's Emolga can only glide the air for a short period of time and Cilan doesn't have any Flying-type pokemon.

    Palpitoad is just useful as a Ground-type that is immune to Electric-type attacks. Roggenrola and Swadloon never had too much screentime but at the same time I would like them to also appear more often.

    Tranquill had a personality before it evolved, Swadloon had a personality before it evolved, both Roggenrola and Palpitoad exhibited unique personalities before they were caught by Ash... I think we wouldn't be complaining about half of these pokemon not being used if they were shown with the personalities that they had before certain things happened to them.

    Palpitoad cracks me up. Such a troll-ish (largely thanks to its hilarious voice) Pokemon, just like Stunfisk. A really solid all round Pokemon. Definitely my favourite of the bunch.

    Second best is Scraggy due to his personality, though he REALLY need new moves.

    To hell with the others.

    No offense to the Scraggy fan club but I like Swadloon and now Boolder more than the rest. I like Bolder because it has no face to show it's emotions meaning that it has to try harder to make a point. I can't wait until Swadloon evolves. I like it's evolution, so I'm waiting for that.

    Tranquill has to be in Ash's Roster
    It's not that I like Tranquill but Ash really should have a pokemon that can ether fly or float in the air
    So far, Tranquill is only Ash's unova pokemon who can do this
    But I can't decide between Scraggy & Boldore
    In one point Boldore is great powerhouse with strong move while Scraggy is more entertaining
    I guess I will go with Scraggy since it still a baby & it need to be close to Ash
    Plus Axnew probably gonna freak if Ash send away Scraggy
    But Can't the Writer/Director speed up its development ?
    I can't believe it doesn't have any breeding move, It would have been great if Scraggy knew how to use Ice punch
    In every episode, Ash interact with the cast member more then his pokemon
    May be what people want is Ash to interact with his Pokemon more then the cast member
    I guess it would be better if Ash learn to use Aura. Then he can talk to his pokemon

    Leavanny: No way, Ash has barely battled with him.
    Unefeazant: Still no, he's been the most abused bird yet.
    Boldore: Has more potential but not enough personality

    Which leaves Palpitoad and Scraggy

    Palpitoad should have been great, except he was underused after Elesa's gym battle

    So it has to be Scraggy
