Seel is cuter

They planned one but Primarina replaced it

>>58033713
Too bad about its final evolution.

>>58033645 (OP)
Do you know Florida are currently extincting the IRL Dewgongs with sewage being poured in the ocean?

dewgong is so sexy bros

I like this version better, the water lily hat gives it a touch of classic Japanese tourist abroad

>>58034113
Ron DeSantis would say it's woke if the Florida manatee wasn't going extinct.
We live in a world full of fucktards.

It's strange that GF repeated so many combinations in G1, they could have easily given each line a unique combination, for example Rock/Ice for Cloyster, Normal/Ice for Dewgong, I'm not saying it's better, but it would have given each one more identity.

>>58034852
I don't think they cared in the slightest back then about gameplay variety, just making things fit within the world

>>58034863
You're right, I still feel like having things like a Fire/Ghost Ninetales and a Poison/Dark Arbok in GS would have been interesting.

>>58034852
No, it really is only Dewgong. The other culprits are the birds but I guess they are progressively better? Doduo > Spearow > Pidgey follows game progression. Also before you mention Farfetch'd, it's an "early" way to get cut

>>58033645 (OP)

Pic unrelated. Stupid early-installment weirdness suffering protomon, needs dexcutting.

>>58035280
farfetch'd is actually really good in gen 1 because he learns swords dance by level up to trigger the badge boost glitch and he's reasonably fast but not super fast avoiding crits that override his attack buffs

>>58035771
Yes. He's not got early-installment weirdness even if he is from a disappointing game that only sold as well as it did from the good will SwSh (the best game in the series and one of the best RPGs ever made) generated.

>>58035808
Swords dance + agility if you do need the speed too. Yeah, Dux is slept on for sure.

Look this fat good boy

>>58035815
no

>>58033645 (OP)
I agree, dewgong is perfect

>>58034852
More variance would have been nice but I for one am glad that cloyster wasn't burdened with rock/ice.

my friend used his masterball on dewgong back in the day kek

I didn't know Lapras got Fake Out

I like the idea of a Manatee Pokemon being a living island carrying small Pokémon on its back, helping them cross a lagoon or swamp.

>>58034852
Gen 1 is the only gen where the monsters were designed before the mechanics. The types where thus a way to categorize the different monsters they already had. Meanwhile new pokemon are designed around specific type combos in mind.

>>58034113
I'm pretty sure the dugongs are extincting themselves by being too dumb to breed, anon. They are the ocean's pandas, except they're not even smart enough to eat food sitting right in front of them.

>>58038808
What happens is that they are highly specialized; they adapted for thousands of years to an environment largely untouched by human presence, feeding on a low-energy source and basing their defense on size. Even for Native Americans, it was difficult to see one of these creatures due to the difficulty of accessing their territories.

Pandas are another similar case. They can thrive within their specific niche, "but many die due to idiocy", and that's normal*. Their population self-regulates, preserving the fittest. Despite being carnivores adapted to a primarily herbivorous diet, they are still carnivores that protect a territory, they coexisting as a herd of herbivores is not normal, so their population being small is common. The real cause of the panda and manatee's extinction is that their habitat is being altered, either through logging or maritime traffic.

*For example, only 53% of wolf pups reach adulthood, and only 20% of them survive past the age of 3yo. As with other carnivores, the causes of death vary. The problem with pandas is that, to us, their accidents seem stupid, but it's simply an anthropomorphization of animal behavior.
