Lapras and Dewgong pisses me off for this reason.
Lapras could still be a shitmon in competitive due to its ice type and being designed as a slow tank... but at least could have been given a better sp attack stat (specially since its sp.attack got lowered after the special split in g2) so it could be a fun casual mon.
It's movepool basically screams special attacker, both before and after g4 physical/special split, but noooo, give it a barely useful 85 sp. attck and keep the same amounts of points in physical attack that it doesn't have any use for. It's literally the SURF MO pokemon in g2, it should have a good surf attack.
Dewong is a similar and worse scenario. It should have been a faster alternative to lapras, and one of the best ice/water for that reason, or at least decently good for casual play. Instead it is a worse lapras with worse sp.attack, useless points in physical attack and the only thing it have better than lapras is 10 points more in speed, which is still fucking slow.
What were they thinking? seriously, seals are fast swimmers. Yeah they are slow on land, but a lot of fish pokemon have good speed stat, and those are based on species that are even worse in land IRL. It doesn't even have swift swim for fucks sake.
Both were some of my fav g1 designs.
