Quoted By:
Out of every popular Pokemon, Milotic always felt like the one whose prevo is not just unloved, but almost completely ignored, like people would rather pretend it didn't exist.
I've developed a headcanon that Milotic feel the same way. That Feebas themselves are not just ugly, but little more than intelligent than a real life fish, and that many Milotic would rather pretend that phase of their life did not exist.
