Anon this is a Pokemon board why are you posting Yugioh art

>>31007127
Because of some shit about the move being called Swallow Down or something like that in Japanese, which is some katana strike that some guy from the Samurai Warriors games or something does with a nodachi probably.

>>31007127
i always figured cause its like they move so fast to cut the air type of deal, thats why its so widespread.

>>31007196
It's called Swallow Return, named after a katana technique of a famous Samurai, hence the animation being rather cut-like. It's flying type due to being based on the movement of a swallow, but to avoid confusion, Gamefreak renamed it in the English version, which just led to further confusion when shit like this happens.

The writers were just starting out, and they needed to figure out a way to feature every single one of the original 151 pokemon before their 80-episode-1-movie deal was up. They knew that Ash would use the four biggest cash-cows (Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and the Charmander line) as his main team, and that left a hell of a lot of pokemon to find a feature episode for. They apparently thought that introducing a species as a temporary team-mate was completely legit and could provide some nice moments, but those characters would only serve their purpose for a short time and simply be part of the journey. That was the logic they went into the show with. Each of the temporary captures had their purpose;

-Caterpie, who was noticeably alone rather than a member of a swarm, wanted to fly, and Ash raised it to be a Butterfree and achieve that dream. It then brought things full circle by wanting to fly away and have its own Caterpie babies and raise a family. Butterfree was never meant to be a battling pokemon, it was meant to showcase the Caterpie evolution line and be developed as a character on their own little journey.

-Haunter was just part of the showcase for Ghost-types (which tied into the debut of Abra/Kadabra) and to be comic relief. Gastly had a major episode, and Gengar would have a large (literally) role in a later one, so this was Haunter's extra bit of a featured role. That's all it was ever going to be.

-And then we come to Primeape, who primarily showcased the Mankey/Primeape family in its debut episode, then was used for a significant challenge and a little character development for Ash, and its departure episode was a chance to showcase all those other Fighting-types which they needed to get through. Primeape did everything it was ever intended to do.

Kanto is only good for nostalgia, Literally the only good episodes were the ones in Sabrina's arc and Blaine's arc.

That makes perfect sense, actually. I just wish they didn't see those Pokemon as just a means to an end. Butterfree was the only one in that list who was an integral part of Ash's team, until he got released. It would've been nice to see Ash sweep people with Primeape and an evolved Haunter.

Its a top tier UU threat you stupid goodra fucker. If it gets a mega and keeps that ability this thing is probably shooting straight up to OU

>>31007626
Life Orb + Sheer Force is what keeps Feraligatr aloat though. Giving it a Mega that can't hold other items makes it significantly weaker, so you gotta settle for praying for a super good ability.
