This is reallllllllly opinionated. I disagree that zard is #1. How long has it been since zard's been on the show? I don't know, seriously. I haven't watched it in soo long. Why? Because its realllly boring and stupid. Every time you watch, you know Ash it going to win, no matter how badly the type disadvantage is or how much longer the opponet has trained thier pokes...pretty inconsistant, like somebody in a previous post said (not sure who, sorry).
