Why did GF remove Remoraid from all of Mantine's sprites

>tfw no cute remoraid

>>33295207
Game freak probably didn't want it that way.

>>33295207
Confusion that they were evolutions. I knew a lot of people who thought remoreraid evolved into Mantine and plenty who didn't know octillery exists

>>33295207

Mantyke

>Evolve Mantyke
>The Remoraid is still in your party

>>33295276
Hell, in gen 2 it wouldn't have been that hard to forget Remoraid itself existed, what with how rare it was.

In all seriousness, I legit didn't even know Remoraid was a separate Pokémon at first, and then I thought it was in fact Mantine's pre-evo.

because the inclusion never made any sense in the first place. it's really awkward

Mantine is an independent woman who don't need no Remoraid

>>33295207
Because two Pokemon don't fit in one ball. Except when it's Slowbro.

but you need a remoraid in your team to evolve into mantine. this doesn't make ANY sense anymore whatsoever.

>tfw I realized that mantine is supposed to be a submarine and remoraid its cannon

>>33296453
more like a fighter plane

>>33296434
Yes you do

>>33295348
This is 100% of the reason.

As a child, I thought the remoraid was part of the mantine like a bomb under a bomber wing

>>33295207
I do not know why it had to be involved with mantine in the first place and think the evolution method is dumb.

>remove remoraid from mantine's sprite
>the sole reason mantyke requires remoraid to evolve is gone

>>33298185
Yeah I thought it was a decoy Remoraid to attract prey or something.

To be fair, it wasn't as detailed as the real Remoraid art in the original Sugimori art so I guess we weren't that dumb.

it's like those fish that hitch a ride on bigger shit like stingrays and clean them so they don't just tell them to fuck off

t. didn't read pokedex entries
>Using its dorsal fin as a suction pad, it clings to a Mantine's underside to scavenge for leftovers.
>It clings to Mantine to feed on the big Pokémon's scraps. This is an adaptation to avoid foes.

It was very non-detailed. For a long time I thought it was like Kangaskhan baby. I didn't knew Remoraid name, only its shape.
