>>51253313>cutest 1st stage starters>but the mono-typing turns me off using them.Why do i get a feeling those are connected. Apparently, Sugimori was upset that higher-up were telling him to make Gen 2 mons cuter/simpler to the point where he told the to "screw it" during Gen 3. I wouldn't be surprised if he kneecaped the Gen 2 starters out of spite.
>In particular, Feraligatr should have been Water/Dark, or at least some other secondary typing to distance itself from the title "Gen 2 Blastoise"Both play very differently though, mainly because the stat spreads are wildly different despite the numbers being. At least it isn't seen as a joke by idiot zoomers because Game Freak give CHARIZARD its exact stat spread after the Special Split, even though CHARIZARD having 109 SpA doesn't even make sense since CHARIZARD was better at physical attacking due to Swords Dance and Belly Drum and only started using mostly special moves in Gen IV.
