One of the first Johto-mons and a Pikachu clone, has no presence in the modern era.
Azumarill is a standard Tera Raid Pokemon, dumbass.
>>58195552>Spheroid with a sphere>Another Pikachu>Almost no marketing
The only reason Marill isn't one of the most popular johto mons was because it was nearly impossible to catch in its debut generation. It was Zoroark before Zoroark where it was shilled super hard only for it to be nearly unobtainable.t. spent hours trying to catch one in 2000
>>58195552He's the most memorable Pikachu clone
>>58195552It's not a pikaclone.
>>58195624I didn't have trouble catching it, it was just kinda shit. Also Azumarill was pretty baller post gen3.
>>58195996>I didn't have trouble catching itMarill had a 1% catch rate in GS unless you trigger the swarm. By the time Crystal released with a higher encounter rate, it was already too late.
>>58196229*1% encounter rate
>>58195784in all but name it is
>>58195552The real abandoned mascot is Poliwhirl
>>58196523I never realized before that Marill is just a design blend of Pikachu and Poliwhirl
>>58195555Who the hell cares about tera raids lol
>>58195552He was a pokemon marshmallow back in the day
>>58196239>in all but name it isFucking what? All pikaclones are Electric type. Marill isn't Electric type. Why do you want Marill to be a pikaclone so bad?
>>58195552Both it and Azumarill needed higher stats. Azumarill should have been a cool evo instead of an ugly egg shaped thing that could have been an alternative evo of Togepi.
>>58195996I think a lot of people used one in BW2, since you get it early and it becomes very strong very fast.
>>58195552>Staple on PoGO teams for 5 years
>>58195552His legacy is being the supposed "PokeGod" back in Gen I time.
>>58196852Everyone who played SV, retard. Azumarill and Iron Hands are universal stock raidmons that normalfags turn to instead of specific ones. That's their claim to fame.
>>58196986It's less so of people wanting Marill to be a Pika clone, and more so that Marill was obviously meant to be a clone of Pikachu.>>58197032Used Azu in my BW2 playthrough and I can attest. Huge Power still makes Azu strong regardless of E.V. training. Just make sure to get a Marill with an ATK nature.
>>58195996I only encountered one as a kid because in my Nintendo Power magazine I read a tip about a fisherman that'll call you if a ton of Marill are spawning. A really cool mechanic that never came back for some reason.Even with the inclusion of Togepi and Ho-Oh in the anime, the moment that Gen 2 became "real" to me was when Donphan was just raw revealed at the beginning of the First Movie.
>>58195552Azumari;l has way above average presence compared to loads of johto mons.When was the last time you saw somebody use a Sudowoodo, Ledyba or even Heracross?Azumarill still has a solid niche with belly drum/aqua jet and great typing and abilities.
>>58197120>Marill was obviously meant to be a clone of PikachuAccording to who/what besides your own headcanon?
>>58197152>just raw revealed at the beginning of the First MovieDonphan was one of the first four gen 2 Pokemon revealed, it was revealed alongside Ho-oh before the anime even premiered.
>>58195552You are so wrong, this is the only way your post makes sense.
>>58195552Azumarill and it's near unfindability dampened the hype generated by the pikachu short and Marill faded out of public attention.>>58197370>According to who/what Anyone with funtioning eyes and a frontal cortex
>>58195624It didn't help any that he became super common in gens 3 and 5If he had been rare, he could at least have had some mystiqueInstead anyone too young to remember the Pikablu rumors probably thinks he's a Hoennmon
Most Johto mons were made to be forgotten.
>>58201735There isn’t a single johto Pokémon that’s isn’t forgotten or a punchline. It’s the most mishandled group of Pokémon. Either it was intentional sabotage out of spite, or game freak magically loses their brain cells and forgets how to promote thing when Gen2 is involved
>>58201761Tyranitar, Umbreon, Espeon, Heracross, Ampharos, Togepi, Forretress, Donphan, Houndoom, Steelix all good and/or popular
>>58196530Was that meant to be a joke or...?
>>58195552>Pikachu clone>Has none of the traits of a Pikachu clone besides being a rodent and even then, it becomes a rabbit upon evolution>No cheeks, no electric typing, was only ever associated with Pikachu because of stupid 90s people insisting upon calling it PikaBlu before it's name was officially revealedYeah lets stop this. This is like calling the Legendary Beasts the "Legendary Dogs" despite a clear lack of canid traits across them. They're closer to big cats, if anything.
>>58195552I remember when people thought this was legit.
>>58201761Espeon and Umbreon are the only highlights of Gen 2 that still matter to this day thanks to how much they contributed to the uber-popularity of the Eeveelution collective. Anyone else that could be named is completely fucking irrelevant.
>>58201761>>58204822murkrow is my fav pokemon ever and thats a johtoDEBUNKED
>>58204822Only because GF hates them for some reason, just like they hate gen 4.
>>58195552>a Pikachu cloneNo.
