Wow you people.

You should've used Meganium back in gen II, it's not like Typhlosion and Feraligatr weren't worthless too, combat-wise.

Mm... no... my level 100 Feraligatr wasn't what I would call worthless. And I don't recall it having a stupid derpface either.

Yeah, my friends at school also thought NotGyarados was incredible.
So, I introduced them to my level 100 Starmie.

Also NotGyarados looks like it was hit by a truck lololol.

All the cool kids picked Chikorita.

Typhlosion at least had the redeeming factor of learning Thunderpunch.

All the cool kids picked Cyndaquil where I came from. Then I showed them how "cool" their pick really was.

Worst thing ever when they have male Meganiums in the anime. that voice ugh

Yeah, the effeminate pear with legs was the smart choice because LOL picking a bad water starter with 86 better water types out there.

To be fair, very few water pokemon compare well to Starmie.

Dare you to say that to Totodile's face in real life. You wouldn't have a face after much longer.

You don't need to be Starmie to be better than gen II Feraligatr though.

In fact, I'd probably have an easier time remembering the ones that are worse: Seaking, Azumarill... uh... Corsola?

This is true. Feraligatr is still in the Top 10 Water Pokemon for me, though.

Gen 2 sure.

Gen 4 is when Totodile family got serious.

Also true. The physical/special split was very kind to Feraligatr.

Gen 4 just turned Feraligatr into a lesser Gyarados, which obviously makes it a decent pokémon.
