      That concept sounds really cool
      Like maybe she's proven right and that trainer is still a really bad trainer but after spending time with Ash and seeing this guy's Pokémon cheering for him she decides (alongside Ash) help him to learn more and be better, maybe having some Sort of climatic battle to make her evolve and ending in good terms with her previous trainer before leaving, this actually solve most of her issues
      I think she also could have learned a New move in this hypotetical situation learning and improving with his new and old trainer (Snivy does not have a really good movepool so maybe just another grass type move like Giga Drain or Solar Beam sounds fine)

    Snivy is definitely one of the most interesting Pokemon that Ash caught in Unova, mainly due to being extremely powerful right from her debut episode. Because she was stated to have abandoned her previous trainer due to their lack of skill, I don't think she was abused like some people seem to think she was; rather she was extremely proud of her abilities and didn't think her original trainer could live up to her high standards -- in that regard, she's actually fairly similar to Ash's Greninja from the following series, with Greninja even being written the way it was to make up for Snivy not getting the chance to live up to her full potential in Best Wishes. Said pride also could very well explain why she never evolved, since she must not have believed she needed to extra strength it could give her to reach her full potential; similar to the way that Ash's Pikachu doesn't want to evolve because he wants to prove that he doesn't need to do so to utilize his full strength. Having said that, it could also very well be that the reason Snivy never evolved was due to the writers not knowing how to convincingly make a feminine Servine or Serperior; it could also have something to do with Trip having the same Pokemon as his ace, and before anyone says that this is able to be disproven by Torterra, that Pokemon was never really shown to be Paul's ace, especially since it didn't appear until a good deal later in the series. All in all, Snivy is one of the more memorable Pokemon Ash had in Unova in my opinion, and while many believe she has great untapped potential, i kinda think that she is interesting because she was more or less already at her peak when Ash caught her

    @dash9641 6 місяців тому +8

    Ya know, I genuinely wonder if the writers were scared to give Ash a female ace. Like, all of his aces have been male or heavily were implied to be male. The only two female Pokémon he owned coming close to being his aces were Snivy (as we see with this awesome video) and Dragonite. I say close in Dragonite's case because before Riolu/Lucario came along she was the main powerhouse and ace of the team! Her win/lose ratio was fairly solid with more wins in a row but as soon as Ash's other mons came along (all male except goof ball Dracovish) she started losing more and more with her "battle" against Cynthia being one of her biggest upsets to date.
    It's just so strange how the few times Ash does catch a female Pokémon, she's either used to be the cute one (Bayleaf comes to mind), The regional gender difference shower (Unfezant) or the Badass to back up (Dragonite/Snivy). Like female Pokémon can't be anything too cool in Ash's line up as females are supposed to be the generic anime cuties with maybe a sassy or timid personality here or there.
    I could be completely off but it's something I noticed over the years from watching the show. Maybe that could be an interesting topic you could discuss in a video one day. 🤔

    When I think of Ash’s, most notable Unova Pokémon snivy definitely one of the first to come to mind. I love her personality, because she has a sense of honor that showed in her battle with Gothita and rivalry with Emolga. Her story arc started off strong, but basically fell apart after losing her rematch with servine. I wish she had a evolved servine, had an intense battle with Serperior to break their tie, and then evolved in her final form afterwards like Incineroar did. Snivy’s lackluster execution is one of many ways that the writers of black and white made it my least favorite season

    I think after Piplup’s clear disinterest in evolution, they started to be more subtle about it. I think Snivy’s knowledge of Leaf Storm was meant to be a hint that she wasn’t interested in evolving without outright saying it.
    Still, I think the fact that they never talked about her abandonment story is disappointing. I feel like there’s a lot that happened to her off screen, and that’s a shame that we didn’t get to see it.

    Snivy was often praised by many fans as "Turtwig done right" - a fast cute unevolved Grass Starter who does not need evolution, which is complete BS because anyone could point out that she was a lazy copy of Bulbasaur just like Torterra was as a Turtwig. Also, like you said, Professor, the writers did a shortsighted job of handling Snivy (no gym battle focus, no league battle win, no change in moveset, not fleshing out her backstory enough and not making her into a powerful Serperior).
    Other thing I should point out that having Ash all three Unova starters was a terrible decision since the writers just repeated the same mistake as Johto (give Ash all three starters and not fully evolve any one of them).

    Snivy was yet another Pokemon who was wasted in the series. The biggest issue I have with Snivy was the fact that she abandoned her original trainer, but we never see who her trainer was. In fact, I think the series just outright forgets this part of Snivy's story as the series progresses. Even more so is the wasted opportunity to see Snivy at a point on whether she wants to evolve or not. And of course, Ash acting all braindead in the BW series really didn't help her potential in the series.

Instead, they wanted to make the BW series a soft reboot and make Ash arguably at his dumbest. And not only that, but BW had countless amount of plot points that are either forgotten or rushed. Like Zekrom for example. Why did he show up to strip Pikachu of his power, only to return the next episode and give it back? The same thing applies to Snivy? Why did they hint that she abandoned her original owner, only to not do anything with that concept? Why did they make Cilan useless as the series progressed? And so many other questions involvimg wasted, rushed, and unresolved plots.

They also missed out on the oppertunity to have all his old rivals he battled in the prior leagues and lost to, to show up again in the respective regions and ranking advance battles.

      @@madnessarcade7447 You also have to take into account that the Pokemon cannot be a blatant copy of a popular predecessor otherwise it shows laziness.
      Snivy, in this case, is a lazy rehash of Bulbasaur minus the change in moveset and development. Turtwig used to fall into that, but differentiated himself by evolving all the way into Torterra, even if the execution did not work properly.

    Oh I remember her, she was one of Ash's toughest pokemon from how she was sassy and pretty strong. And it was crazy of how she abandoned her original trainer since she thought they weren't worthy enough to master their ablities. They do say when the trainer is inexperienced the pokemon won't obey them. I've heard of trainers abandoning their pokemon cause they see them as not strong but that was ridiculous. I don't remember much about all of her battles but I do remember about how she defeated Trip's Serperior back when it was a servine with attract and vine whip and fell to Trip's Frillish after facing the effects of cursed body. Oh and Georgia's Pawniard she defeated as well and she also lost to Elesa's Emolga. I still find it hilarious of how Ash ran back to the pokemon center to get Snivy, like that was so unprepared and of how Ash had her use attract on emolga even though they were the same gender. The attacks she used was vine whip, leaf blade, leaf storm and attract. She may not have evolved nor the strongest grass type but she had potential and was like the big sister of the gang setting her friends straight. I was surprised that she knew leaf strom cause snivy doesn't usually learn that move till its final evolutionary line but theres an everstone that keeps them the way they are after all like with the rare Riolu that can use Aura Sphere.

  • @shadowmarauder6033

    Snivy was one of Ash’s coolest pokémon but had one of the biggest wasted potential. She should’ve had dedicated episodes to her origins & personality.
    For example, one episode would be after a battle with Trip & his Servine, where we explored how her trainer was trying to push her to evolve, explaining why she didn’t want to learn new moves & stay as a Snivy.
    In another episode, we could’ve gotten to see her trainer be good friends with Trip & initially be against Ash, however after seeing how different the two rivals were she would apologize for her short-sightedness. This would also be a learning experience for Trip, showing that a Pokémon’s loyalty is linked to their friendship.
    After this, we could see Snivy learning new moves & be used more.

  • @epl_500
    @epl_500 7 місяців тому +2

    Agree largely with the ending comments - even though the premise was that she was already strong, I was always disappointed Snivy didn't get much further growth -- not even necessarily that she needed to evolve, but having already started with a high-level moveset she didn't get to learn any new moves, she didn't develop any iconic strategies besides "using Attract" (which didn't even show up in the league battle against Cameron?) (she got to use Leaf Blade as a shield against the wild Simisear and Vine Whip for dodging against Tornadus, but we didn't get to see these develop or get used further?), and she suffered a lot of losses against impossibly-strong opponents like Lucario or the wild Gothitelle without getting a chance to rebound or redeem herself (borderline Torterra treatment)
    (in contrast, we got to see Tepig evolve, overcome his past, learn new moves, and overcome challenges against opponents that were tough but reasonable, like Lenora's Herdier, Brycen's Cryogonal, or Roxie's Scolipede; and Oshawott used Razor Shell in interesting ways and got training arcs like when he lost to Lenora's Watchog or Stephan's Blitzle, although the results of this training later on seemed to vary with whether or not it would be funny for him to lose on any given day haha)

I also wished that the Japanese writers had do more on Ash's Snivy's backstory like why she left her previous trainer in the first place since he/she never made a proper appearence in Pokemon Black and White Series like Pignite's old trainer.
    I mean if they had made an episode in the third final series were Ash and his friends met Snivy's previous trainer at last while learn about Snivy's past then I would like to see Snivy having a score to settle with her previous trainer in a Pokemon battle and even better evolved into Servine just like Pignite so Ash would have two middle evolved Unova Starter Pokemon.

      Pokemon cannot have traits or battle styles that make them blatant clones of predecessors otherwise it shows laziness. Snivy, in this case, is a lazy version of Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur, at least changed his movesets despite not evolving and while Torterra's development was poorly executed, he had to evolve because his origins and battlestyle was too similar to Bulbasaur.

      Snivy was often praised by many fans as "Turtwig done right" - a fast cute unevolved Grass Starter who does not need evolution. In other words, she's a blatant copy of Bulbasaur like Torterra was as a Turtwig. And you wonder why Bulbasaur clones were banned after BW and why Snivy having zero character development proved how lazy her handling was in the show.
