You do know, they lost Originality/Creativity after the 251. It's Because Ken Sugimori made the first 251 by himself, and then other people help make the rest. Oh, Johto remake, ha... that will be a while until they release DawnSilver and DuskGold

I hate to get off topic,but Jimmy will always beat Ash.He was cooler,had a pretty girl follow him around,and an annoying friend.Squirtle>Totodile>Mudkip>Piplup.Piplup=Ultimate Fail.Out of all the water Pokemon as starters he was the weakest link.

[edit] In the anime

Jimmy, an anime character based on GoldAppears as Jimmy(Kenta) in the spin-off Pokemon Chronicles. In the anime, Jimmy is a travelling Pokémon trainer from the Johto region. In New Bark Town, Jimmy's hometown, he received his first Pokémon, Cyndaquil, from Professor Elm. From then on, Jimmy set out on his journey becoming a Pokémon trainer, traveling to far-off regions and competing in its many tournaments, while catching different types of Pokémon along the way.

Jimmy is portrayed as a gutsy yet impulsive trainer, charging recklessly into situations without forethought. As such, his offensive battle style mimics this behavior, as his Pokémon are trained to withstand attacks than evade them while fighting, preferring to face an opponent head-on. His primary goal is to become a strong Pokémon trainer, and ultimately rise to Pokémon Master. Jimmy became very determined and dedicated to winning many battles with his team and made a promise to them that they would travel and win every competition together.

Of all his Pokémon, Typhlosion is Jimmy's most trusted and closest companion. Since the beginning of their journey, the two have since faced many challenges and obstacles together. After suffering a humiliating lost to Silver, Jimmy's archrival, Jimmy and Cyndaquil worked hard on their progress and soon Cyndaquil became the strong Typhlosion it is now. Jimmy has shown that not only is he a great trainer, but his bond with his Pokémon runs very deeply and they will all do whatever it takes to get things done.

Jimmy's notable trait is his signature catchword "You rock, you rule!", a quote repeatedly expressed to his Pokémon with a thumbs-up victory pose after winning a battle. In the Japanese version, he uses the phrase "Okay! Perfect!". He has a noticeable crush on Marina, though refuses to admit it out loud. Both he and Marina participated in the Silver Conference a full year ahead of Vincent. It is presumed he is now traveling in Kanto.
