>>51040608Swinub starts as a pig and grows to have mammoth-like features. He’s still a pig at his core.
Mankey is a monkey with pig-like features. He doesn’t start as a pig, he starts as a monkey. He’s no more a pig than a spider monkey is a spider.
On top of this, there’s already a fighting type of you wanted to make an all-pig team. The actual pigs have no overlap of typing and are on their way to make the perfect team.
Finally, here’s how you know that he’s a monkey and not a pig. In a pig thread you’ll have people telling you that Mankey is not a pig, but you won’t have people telling you he’s not a monkey if you made a monkey thread. This isn’t a statement on how good or cool Mankey is, just on the fact that he isn’t a pig.
Feel free to copy paste this to explain why Mankey doesn’t qualify as a pig to anyone in the future.
