Trip doesn't judge Pokemon by appearence, but from possibilities and Power.He chooses his team members carefully.He does a LOT of training and.For example,Frilish may be unoriginal and lame but he has it beacuse of its Defenses.When it battled Ash's Tepig it could survive a Burn attack.So my answer is NO.Trip chooses Pokemon not based on appearence but based on power and possibilities.
