Why is Swampert and the Mudkip line so neglected?
>>24803224
Mudkip got enough recognition by being a shitty 2000s meme
>>24803224
That Mudkip is asking for it.
Mudkip got memes
>>24803277
>>24804034
Official recognition.
Mudkip is so hot in this pic
>>24803224
I'm sure things will turn around. Hell, Sceptile's inclusion gives Swampert a slim chance of being added in Pokken to round out the trio, when previously I thought Blaziken would be the only one.
>>24803224
Because it's small amount of popularity solely comes from an outdated meme.
GF hates Water starters who aren't ninjas.
>>24803224
The memes were too dank.
>>24806192
Water is Game Freak's favorite type.
They hate Grass starters.
>>24807979
But Game Freak isn't even involved with Pokken...
>>24803224
Torchic and Mudkip are looking ready for sexual penetration
>>24803224
Cute

She can muddy my flaps
Blaziken is one of Sugimori's pets, and Swampert was traditionally the #1 of the Hoenn starters. He didn't view Sceptile as much of a threat so it was allowed to get some favor, but Swampert had to die for the chicken to shine. It's no coincidence Swampert got Damp in the generation Explosion was nerfed, and it got Swift Swim after weather was nerfed.

Lmao no it wasn't.
>>24804034
I miss old memes
>>24811827
Where'd that one even stem from? A DeviantArt comment?
>>24814456
Some one knew a kid at their school who liked Mudkip, so he gave him a Mudkip plushie because "So i heard you like mudkips" to which he responded in true /vp/ fashion by screaming "HELL YEAH I LIKE MUDKIP" and started to fuck the plushie
>>24803224
Swampert has a place in my heart
>>24811766
lol no. as much as i prefer the mudkip line, blaziken has been getting kids inexpicably hyped ever since ruby and sapphire came out. It didn't take any marketing to force it.
>>24814605
Gee, I wonder why? Maybe it's because Ash's Charizard got wrecked by it.
>>24811805
Well, it was the most powerful in its own generation. Gen 3 Swampert was a force. Like so many Hoenn Pokemon, though, the years were unkind to it. Sceptile suffered the same fate, and Blaziken too until it got Speed Boost.
