It was tradition to have the Shika-Ino-Cho trio together. In addition, Ino was the second best in her class so, it could be considered equal.

She could improve if Kishi spend time with her I mean look what he's doing with Sasuke and Shino. Ino beat Shino at that stuff yet he's smarter than she is and improving so would it kill him to spend time with Ino.

Because Ino tried her best and she isn't lazy and stupid. Even Sakura said remember when she threw those flowers in one of her bullies mouth, well Sakura said after what she did, she was good with her shuriken and noted that her ninjutsu was awesome too. She successfully became a medical ninja which Tsunade said that the training will be difficult which requires high knowledge and precise chakra control and she didn't seem lazy back then. The reason why Ino is what you think of her is b/c Kishi barely spends time with her and I wish he do

Ino is a side-character. No author is under any obligation whatsoever to develop it in a thorough manner. You should have picked a better character to like or admire. Also, she appears bookish smart, which isn't intelligence from any angle.

Its unclear where Ino ranked, but it was made clear that Naruto, Kiba, Choji, and Shikamaru were the four worst and that Sasuke was the best. Ino's skills seemed to be a lot more honed and refined than most of the rookie 9 and since she was trying to impress Sasuke for a while, it can be assumed that she held her own in the school work stuff and was probably around the same level as Sakura.

So is Shikamaru yet he is spending time with him. And during her fight with Sakura in the Chunin Exams doesn't seem book smart at all that was clever that no one thought she'll do. I don't know why I like Ino I just you know think her abilities seem so cool and she can improve them and I keep getting all these ideas of what she can have thats suited for her yet I doubt she'll get them hehe.

^ Shikamaru's IQ is naturally high. I don't think she and Shikamaru are even playing the same sport as far his intelligence goes.

Didn't she have the second highest score, if memory serves me correctly?

You might be right, I have heard this from other people as well.

That's b/c its true even though Sasuke beat her at Ninjutsu Genjutsu and Taijutsu (except assertiveness and coorperation), she beat Shino at all that stuff

^ I am pretty sure she did, as Sasuke's score was affected because of his lack of group cooperation.

Yeah she is suppose to be smarter and stronger than Shino yet it shown him being more strategetic and more ninjutsuist than she is. Since Kishi made her top 3 of the graduation you know, he should spend some time with her and develop her skills some more other than supporting and ignoring her

In Part 2, Ino helped beat the Gold & Silver Brothers, Edo Asuma, saved Choji with her clever use of mind transfer jutsu, she was part of the team that defeated Hidan & Kakuzu, she saved Naruto/Bee/Gai/Kakashi from the Juubi, and took over Obito's mind briefly. She's gotten a lot done.

Don't forget that before she beat the Gold & Silver Brothers, she saved Shikamaru and saved Choji from Asuma's Wind Release: Dust Palm by tackle him away. Unlike the other two, she was confident that they'll beat the Gold & Silver Brothers and kept her promise to Asuma that she'll look after those two and made them show confidence after what the Alliance say about them being kids and got them to fight Edo Asuma. I personally think that Kishi should give her some more panel time

I always saw her as the emotional leader of the team while Shikamaru was the strategist.

Exactly even she elected to be team leader because of their lazy ways. Not that I'm hatin I think she deserve to have more panel time too.
