"I hate that Ash promised to come back and get Pidgeot after returning from the Orange Archipelago but he never did..."

Just earlier in the same episode (Pallet Party Panic) Pidgeotto had taken a Poison Sting for Ash and Pikachu, with Misty and Brock commenting on how loyal it was.After evolving, Pidgeot stays behind to defend his new flock from Spearow and Fearow, with Ash pledging to return after collecting the GS Ball.I’m not saying Pidgeot would want to return to Ash, but it sucks Ash never even went back. It’s close to Pallet Town, too!Cmon Ash, it was the second Pokemon you caught man, do better! via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/34LWJMg
