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.

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.

Honestly Pignite was one of my favourite Pokémon Ash caught.

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.

i think the main difference is we got time before Tepig had to face his old trainer with charmander it sort've settled all issues with its trainer in its debut episode

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.

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.

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.

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!

I’d love to see a special episode of Pokémon that focused on the friendship between Pignite, Charizard, and Infernape.

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...

Aside from the writers still owing Ash an Emboar, Pignite's story is downright lazy since it recycles elements from Battling a Thaw in Relations and Charmander the Stray Pokemon (Look at the two episodes and compare them to Evolution by Fire) along with no meaningful story arc. 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. Pignite is also the main reason why the abandoned fire-starter story was banned from the series for good.

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 know Pignite is not a bad battler but fans are not stupid as they can easily compare Pignite to Infernape and Charizard. Not only should Pignite should have been an Emboar, he is also the main reason why the abandoned Fire-type starter story was banned from the show for good in the main series. Great video, like always!

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. 🤡💕

It would be SOO Cool if Pignite Could Evolve into Emboar At the end of Pokémon Journey 🙁

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.

Ash's Krookodile's a beast & the true Ace of Ash's Unova team. Pignite is 2nd. Ash always had it with him & was never sent to the lab. Can you do Ash's Torterra or Noivern next please?

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.

He's not a bad battler and he definitely should have been Emboar.

On top of that, Pignite is the main reason why the abandoned Fire-starter story was no longer a welcoming concept.

Let’s do a little recap here… Charmander: Abandoned by it’s trainer and left to die in the rain. Chimchar: Overworked by it’s trainer, eventually being abandoned by him for being to “weak”. Tepig: Abandoned by it’s trainer due to him being to lazy to train it. Litten: Has It’s father figure die. God! Ash’s Fire types have had been through hell.

How is Ash owning all three Unova starters automatically a best thing?

I’m playing Pokémon Scarlet in Spanish instead of English (I can speak and read Spanish pretty well, and I figured it would be fitting for a region based on the Iberian Peninsula), and in the translation Arven’s name is SUPER IRONIC once you know his motives for seeking the Herba Mystica: his name is DAMIAN, you know, the same name as the guy who abandoned Charmander!

Snivy, Dewott, and Emboar would be a great starter trio for Ash

Burgundy had no right to insult Ash or his pokémon, and her grudge against Cilan was extremely petty.

It’s strange to me that all of the fire Pokémon are getting the treatment and then ash saving them and becoming a fiery force that you don’t want problems with it’s a pattern a fiery pattern 🔥🔥🔥

I would agree it was a missed opportunity for Pignite not to have evolved into Emboar, especially since Pignite was a regular sparring partner with Infernape and how one would assume all that training would’ve led to Pignite evolving into Emboar.

OMG yes Ash’s Pignite, I remember him. It was another Pokémon abandoned by his trainer that Ash took under his wing. His original trainer was Shamus and like Damien wanted him back right after seeing what they can do. Like for real 😂, he had the gall to want Pignite back after abandoning him. Shamus and Damien are a disgrace to Pokémon trainers everywhere. Anyway, Pignite was pretty decent battler. It won a lot of battles and I’m still not over of how it lost against a grass type like Trip’s Serperior but that was because of how fast Serperior was. Trip trained him in speed and was able to dodge fire type attacks very quickly. Pignite also defeated a water type like Samorott that one time in the black and white movie but that was only because of Victini who has the ability Victory star, that ember took out Samorott in one hit it was crazy. The Pokémon company really did some action replay at that scene 😝. The moves Pignite used were ember, flame charge, flamethrower, brick break and fire pledge and tackle. I see him as Ash’s fourth strongest fire type with Infernape in first, Incienaroar second, Charizard third, Quilava fifth.
