    I really liked Paul's Torterra putting his trainer's feelings aside to help a fellow Grass turtle in need. He saw Grotle struggling with this new body he's not accustomed to and tries to help him find strength within something seen as a weakness. That's pretty respectable and really shows that Pokemon are more than just mindless pets but free thinking beings that can make their own decisions.

      That would've been nice to see Paul's Torterra teaching Grotle on how to use his new bulky body to his advantage. As seen when Paul used Torterra in their first full battle, Torterra had strong attack & defense with strong ranged attacks that make up a lack of speed.

    Paul’s Torterra is not only an absolute badass but a surprisingly sympathetic Pokemon. Not many Pokemon can give the impression of being close in KOing Cynthia’s Garchomp and I love how it helped Ash’s Grotle in how to battle with its new body. I also like the fact that Paul wasn’t angry about helping it despite being against his orders. I used Torterra in my Legend Arceus playthrough and I’m glad I did!

    Oh yes Paul’s Torterra, I know I mentioned the other day that it helped Ash’s Grotle change its battle tactics. It taught it to relay more on defense than speed since it was too heavy to move faster like it used to. But with Rock Climb it was able to move a little bit faster. Torterra beat Ash’s Gliscor and lost against Cynthia’s Garchomp.

I wish it was used more often and developed more of a friendship with Ash's.

    Fun fact: Neither Paul or Ash's Torterra were shown using Earthquake in the anime because in the prior generation Earthquake was banned in the anime after an earthquake in Japan. This along with the limited other ground type options at the time is why Torterra was not shown to know a ground stab move. If Paul's Torterra were to return it now has more options such as Earth Power, Bulldoze, High Horsepower or best of all the new stab its species learns in Legends Arceus Headlong Rush.

    I know I mentioned this before in a previous video, that I’m not a big fan of Paul but the Pokémon he has on his team are interesting in my opinion plus I do like his tortera and his storyline is interesting as well! So there are parts of him that I like and His brother Reggie is cool too, Plus I would like to see you do a video on ashes tortera as well. Infact I think it is safe to day that that Paul’s torterra is better than ashes interms of its powers and yes I said what I said in the comments and it’s all my opinion so no one needs to worry no one has to agree you just so you. I respect Paul for chasing after his dreams like every other trainer plus if Paul did return then I would like to se him redeem himself and maybe we will see tortera mega evolve and Paul even be a kanto champion and I would love to see Paul challenges ashes strongerst Pokémon like charizard infernape, and even ashes tortera so Needs a redemption and to get stronger too. So I think it’s Likely for Paul to return sometime in journey? And he would tell ash he won the battle frontier and would be impressed with how strong ash had gotten over the years after ashes making it farther in Kalos and being a hero their Paul gains more respect to ash for that. That would be neat to see In my book. And let’s also not forget the characters development he got back In the episode he faced agents Brandon too. That has to be one of my favorite moments of Paul plus meeting his brother and ash winning up agents Paul and even the episode were ash stood up for him when a big crowd laughed at him after he lost a battle to Cynthia! Those were good moments in my opinion. 😊👍

    I love Paul and his Torterra! Paul understands Torterra as a Pokemon and the Battle style mostly associated with Torterra, and Paul perfected this style to a Top level in Battling, which is further shown when compared to Ash and his Torterra, as soon as Turtwig evolved into Grotle, when Ash couldn't adapt on the spot, and even failing to bring out Torterra's true power in all of its major Battles. Ash's Grotle's best Battle was against Candice's Sneasel. Paul actually said in the Turtwig evolution episode, "You have no IDEA how much Grotle's CHANGED!!!", Referring to how he has raised his Torterra from a Turtwig, which Ash confirms he knows later on that Torterra is Paul's first Pokemon. I'm predicting when it comes to Pokemon Journeys, I honestly think Paul will return, and Battle Ash in the WCS, and Paul will use Torterra, knowing, Ash has never defeated his Torterra before... and this battle, Ash will win, with Paul's Torterra being the last Pokemon of Paul's to go down. After all, look at Ash's Team and the moves they currently know. Gengar with Ice Punch, and Dracovish with Ice Fang, Sirfetch'd with Fury Cutter, and Dragonite has a great typing for Torterra too, as well as being able to attack from a distance too, since we know Torterra Battling style really well... Take the opponents attack and strike back hard, be hard to do that against Dragonite. So basically, Ash's current team is stacked when it comes to Battling against Paul's Torterra. Lol

    Torterra is one of the Pokémon that lived up to its title as Paul's strongest Pokémon due to being his starter but doesn't stack out like Electivire here & the way it motivated Ash's Grotle after it evolved to its defense as an offensive to take hits & Torterra should've seen Ash's Torterra now fully evolved to congratulate it but could teach more on being a better attacker after Ash's Torterra taken some major losses against stronger opponents which would help motivate Ash's Torterra to become a better battler!

      @SnowyWolborg 5 месяцев назад

      I think Electivire was the Pokemon that Paul intended to be his star battler _in the Sinnoh region._ Torterra, being his first teammate of course already had multiple regions worth of experience, but considering that Paul first debuted with Elekid, it seems reasonable that he recently captured it upon coming back home, liked it's energy, and it lived up to his standards.

    Like Gary's Blastoise and Richie's Charmander, technically every trainer that Ash battles should have a regional starter!

I wish Paul’s Torterra had encountered Grotle again after evolving into Torterra itself.
