Did they make it the earliest starter to fully evolve because Water used to be special?

He is the best 2nd gen starter and most assuredly within the top.

He also "felt" like he was missing something. Sheer Force helped alot, yet still there is something lacking. He should of been Water/Dark type.

that's because Game Freak doesn;t worship Blastiose like they do CHARIZARD and Venuasuar, so they allowed Gatr to function rather than completely kneecap it
>e should of been Water/Dark type.
Its still a Johto starter, just because Game Freak doesn't completely despise it like the other two doesn't mean they like it enough to let it have another STAB, that would be too exciting. However, Water is such a broken type that it is impossible to be a shitmon with a starter's BST

Ask me if I'm surprised that a feraligatr fan is obsessed with cuckolding.

it's a really cool pokemon, looking tough and formidable, but likeable enough to trust. no grass or electric gym til the pitiful kanto ones, of course it has good stats, rage can set you up for sweeps you couldnt do with water gun sometimes too. coverage moves Bite, Iron Tail, Earthquake. Gets Crunch via egg move. I mean there's nothing wrong with it.
I love it, not a barafag though. In Gen 2 maybe people hate that it's a physical attacker with a special STAB.

disingenuous, it's just internet lingo and you know that.

Because Magikarp evolves into Gyarados at lv. 20 and is dual-typed. It only got even better in the remakes.

(cont actually) which is retarded because its special atk is serviceable with STAB, and an ice option is still going to do decent damage to say Dragonite because x4

Gyarados has x4 weakness to electric, so Gatr has that to offer over it. I will say it sucks that its slower than Gyarados though.

I think the Johto starters are great from a design-perspective, even Chikorita who gets dunked on a lot. I think their first stage evos do a good job at hinting what they MIGHT turn into in their third stage so you don't regret picking them later.

Like, the Kanto starters are all cute at stage one, then turn into beasts at stage three. That's a nice idea, but I imagine some kids were disappointed that their monster didn't stay cute. Whereas if you pick Chikorita because it's cute, it's gonna continue to be cute.

Contrast this with much later starters, especially Gen 9, where it's a massive disappointed as they evolve and a total departure from why you originally might've picked them at stage one.

I hate the addition of ice fang, feels baby mode in a game that's already very easy. Ice punch was at least coming off it's weaker special, but I never used it much for GSC.

That's actually a great point. Chicorita is clearly meant to be the "girl" starter while Fenniken, the blue sealion and the grass cat are all surprises. Starters nowadays is just russian roulette with which one is going to be the clearly intended for girls starter.
