When I first met his pre-evo, I thought "Oh my god, it looks awful, I guess it's one of those one stage retarded mons"
I took it because I took Fire as starter and I wanted a water HM slave.
Late in the game he finally evolved, and I was like "Da hell, it looks like a crossbreed between a cow and a slug, this just completely AWFUL."
But being a lazy ass and don't liking water type, I kept it for surfing purposes.
But with time going on, I noticed it was quite the thing. He handled hits quite good and I liked his potential. He even learned some stuff like sludge bomb and Ice Beam that proved useful in a couple of situations. I remember how it was my last mon facing the pokemon league master, and the master mon was a dragon type. He literally won the league for me. I thought that it would die uselessly and I would just have to buy potions and rez to get past the league, but no. His motha friggin ice beam raped the fucking shark dragon he was facing.
And since I saw him on his last 32 HP and killed his enemy, I swore "You will always have a place in my team. ALWAYS."
And next gen he got buffed via Storm Drain ignoring Water damage and raisong SpA {/spoiler]
And he's a priceless bait against elektrik doge and Smogonwash
