I KNOW I DON'T GET POINTS FOR THIS, BUT BLAME SOME SKYPE ENABLER FOR...
ULTROS
Ultros really looks like a Pokemon himself, but he THINKS he looks like a really buff biker dude, because really. So he's kind of a Pokemon who decided to be above other Pokemon and catch 'em all!
... he seems to have started with other octopi.
Typhon can be blamed for the Skuntank (well, that and that Pokemon is also complete repeat-battle comic relief bait in one Pokemon game) and... mushroom thing I forgot the name of (I haven't played B/W), but it looks silly and the wikia told me James had one. Ultros would totally get James if he took a "Which Human From the Pokemon anime are you?" test online (unless he purposely cheated), so...
Also bidoof.
Because really. Bidoof.
Not to mention you fight a zillion of them.
And he earned one badge just by luck. The other Pokemon wouldn't even listen to Ultros and instead ran around rampant, but luckily Brock's gym is weak to water types and enough water got squirted around (...) that all of Brock's pokemon fainted in the crossfire.
