>>53027695It’s just a worse looking, brown scyther. Doesn’t help that there’s no game you can actually get kabutops for your playthrough in a timely manner, so not many people used it.
>>53027721Doesn’t have the same cool ghost knight thing going on like the counterpart. Ceruledge has fire swords etc.
>>53029473Gen 2 babies who missed out on the initial wave of pokemania really wanted cyndaquil to be the next charizard.
>>53031288It’s just not particularly cool or cute, and its competition for your unova electric mon is a cute spider.
>>53033133It’s a basic bitch idea of a fire/grass mon. Everyone and their mother had already gone for the pepper idea for years on their fakemon, so the novelty was gone from day one.
>>53035074It’s cute but it’s a very one-note design and by the time you could ever capture one, everyone already had either the starter or lapras as their surfer.
>>53038349Rock typing, and most of them being pretty shitty by the time you can get them. Most fossilmons aren’t standout cute or cool either.
