Weren't the teams supposed to be even? All the other teams seemed to get one good student, one ok student, and one bad student. But team 10 got two bad students. Choji and Shikamaru both got low grades and got in trouble all the time like Naruto did. Did Shikamaru rig the teams to be with his drinking buddy Choji or something?

They were basically destined to be in the same team due to their abilities.

The Ino–Shika–Chō formation.

Shikamaru is one of the smartest Ninja there. He just doesn't push himself

hiruzen did it because their clans are bonded

This is probably it. But maybe he should have punished Shikamaru and Choji for not giving a **** during the academy by splitting them up for a little while until they behaved then put them back together.

They say it in the episode where Asuma dies. Their dad's put them in a squad together and the Hokage approves it.

that would mess up their team work and another team would have to have been messed with as well. It was better for them to work together and bring out the best in each other.

Ino-shika-cho
+ Shikamaru would've aced that class in half an hour if he felt like it.

Ahh I see, so they got their daddys to pull strings for them! I guess it worked out since they were a part of the group that beat an Akatsuki team, the Gold and Silver Brothers, and Edo Asuma.

Shika didn't even try. If you had read the manga you would have seen that Asuma explained it already.

Its not that Shikamaru is bringing the team down. Back then he didn't even try but when it comes to serious situations he is very serious and cautious. Plus they were destined to be together just like their dads were with a member from the Sarutobi Clan so they will totally outclass some of the other teams if Shikamaru even tries

So are you calling Ino a "good" one? :erm: All the teams seem to be themed. Of course team 7 is the worst, best, and someone in the middle. Team 8 all have tracking abilities. Team Guy only use physical attacks (taijutsu and weaponry). And team 10 is the family tradition that has gone on for years. Its not always gonna be the way team 7 was formed you know...

Shikamaru was just lazy. Choji is stupid though and Ino appears to be along the same lines. I have no idea how her academy rank was so high.

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

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.
