Why is the Totodile line considered by many as the pleb choice for Gen 2...

Why is the Totodile line considered by many as the pleb choice for Gen 2? I went with him because everyone chooses Cyndaquil and Chikorita looks like a faggot. Gatorbro was OP through the whole game and I didn't grind too much with him. Yet I'm always seeing Totodile on worst starter lists.

Dunno, ask /vp/

Actual gen 2? Water type moves are all special, but he has physical stats.

Past that? He's just a worse Gyarados.

Because Typhlosion is available and he's the cutest and best Pokemon!

Water types are usually the best starters and tend to have the best designs too.

Didn't Feraligatr learn Ice Punch?

You're just memeing, Chikorita is the worst starter overall (Weak to almost all of the gym types) and Cyndaquil has the correct stats for being a fire type. Attacks were regular or special just based on the types back then.

What? I thought Cyndaquil was the pleb choice?

Anyways Cyndaquil is a decent fire type, Chicorita is unplayably bad and Totodile has like 10 different water types to compete with.

>Ice Punch
a special move with average base power and no STAB

>Sheer Force Feraligatr
>worse Gyarados

youre fucking kidding me, Ice Punch was special too?

>ater type moves are all special
isnt waterfall physical?

Before gen 4 phys and special moves were tied to type.
For example all fighting, rock, ground type moves were physical and there were no special moves with that type vice versa with fire, water and electric type moves.

I don't know OP, Totodile/Crocinaw/Feraligtr have always been by favorite pokeys.

Not that it really matters "strategy" or "stats" wise, every single Pokemon game can be beat by just spamming your starter or just leveling a normie Pokemon really high.

>I went with him because everyone chooses

This is why, hipster loud faggots are the worst.

Could never hate on Totodile line since Toto was voiced by Donald Duck's voice actor.

Design wise he was the best starter of Gen 2 by a long shot.

>Why is the Totodile line considered by many as the pleb choice for Gen 2?
Because he doesn't look fuckable

>croconaw

This.

I always picked him because he was a cool looking motherfucker.

Totodile was my favorite of gen 2. All forms.

I have a better question. Why is Typhlosion so cute?

Feraligatr is alpha as fuck and no cuck can change this

All gen 2 starters are the pleb choice

Meganium, Typhlosion and Feraligator are really deserving of megas. The fact Sun and Moon didn't add any new megas is a little disappointing given that, thematically, they'd fit very well.

I think all three Johto starters are kinda bland.

My team in gen 2 was Heracross, Bellossom, Gyarados, Scizor, Lanturn and Skarmory. I used a different team in HG though.

That's because she's a support. Attacking with her means you're using her wrong

Its actually the only non terrible choice in gen2.

Did anyone NOT use RedGyarados?
I started with Totadile, and I ended going "WEll I GUESS IM A WATER SPECIALIST NOW" and used Feraligatr, Red Gyarados, and, eventually Kingdra

Chikorita was always the pleb choice dude.
Grass types in general are considered the pleb choice.

Best way to remember it is that every Eeveelution was a special type.
