give one legitimate reason why you FEISTY FLAMING FAGGOTS don't

It was supposed to be skarmory's specially defensive counterpart

we can all see how well that went

I like the design. Bu it's just not very good competitively. Hence, no one gives a shit about it.

The same can be said about a lot of Gen 2 mons. Makes me sad.

>>28235358
But I do like Mantine. It's one of my favorite gen 2 mons.

>"What's an electric type 4x weakness?" -GameFreak
not its issue really. Electric isn't such a common coverage type. It's like being x4 weak to psychic or something. Big whoop.

I actually like it, its my second favourite water type after poliwhirl.

Mantine is nice but did it REALLY need a baby? What the fuck was wrong with gen 4 and all those unneeded baby Pokemon?

>>28235755
I honestly just think some asshole figured out that they haven't used "tyke" as a baby name and saw that it fit with Mantine the best.

I like Mantine, easily top 5

>>28235358
Mantine's fine, but I'm miffed that they went with a manta ray instead of the OBVIOUSLY SUPERIOR stingray.
