Ash Ketchum: Difference between revisions

Though Ash normally catches five or more Pokémon per [[region]] (not including when he travelled through the [[Orange Archipelago]] and challenged the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in his second tour of [[Kanto]]), he rarely ever switches the Pokémon in his current [[party]] with those in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]]. He usually only does so when battling against powerful opponents (such as Trainers in the [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, and [[Frontier Brain]]s), or when attending certain events that require a specific Pokémon (like {{AP|Tauros}} at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] or {{AP|Snorlax}} at the [[Sumo Conference]]). However, during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', Ash actively cycled through the nine Pokémon he managed to catch in [[Unova]], although these Pokémon, when not in his party, were instead kept in storage at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab in [[Nuvema Town]]. Near the end of his journey in Unova, Professor Juniper transferred all of Ash's Pokémon to Professor Oak's lab. Ash did not use this system of training in the [[Pokémon the Series: XY|following series]], though he did leave his Alolan party with {{an|Professor Kukui|Professors Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}} at the end of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. During the ''[[Pokémon the Series: Journeys]]'', Ash rotates his Pokémon again, this time, leaving them at the Cerise Laboratory Park when not on hand.
