Looks like I'm on page two now(Yes I know "lol 10 post per page")! Also sorry this is late... I crashed and woke up a hell of a lot later than expected.

I find Quagsire to be more charming than you, but you are the first truly "good" water starter technically. Blastoise isn't "bad", and Feraligatr couldn't do much until gen four. Water/Ground is a pretty good type combination when grass isn't in play. You've got some pretty nice stats, nothing outright terrible except maybe your sp.attack. Like the starter before your gen that made your primary type a bit pointless, but luckily you still get Earthquake. Even better you get physical water moves now! The only problem is that you came in when water types decided to become locust. Hell Whiscash has the same typing as you so can't even claim you're "totally unique" in your generation. Still, out of all the water types I grown sick of seeing, you were one of the ones I never got tired out (Because I always pick the fire starter anyway).

You're such a lovable Pokemon! Friendly, loyal, and evolve into something badass. Even if you didn't, you're willing to kick ass for your trainer if you have to. Your Japanese name appears to be "Gardie" which is quite fitting(if it's supposed to mean "guard"). It's no wonder you're favored as a pet! Giving a small child a fire breathing puppy raises would normally raise some concerns, but this is Pokemon after all. You're a bit annoying to catch, what with your tendency to use Roar. Something Vulpix likes to do as well. Speaking of which, you two don't seem to ever want to play together. If you're in one game, Vulpix isn't. There might be an exception in Yellow. The only thing I don't get about you is how and why you suddenly started learning Reversal by level up.

You're quite the special pokemon. You were the first legendary Pokemon seen, as well as the first 2nd gen Pokemon seen in the 1st season. Like Lugia you have "control" over a legendary trio, but you apparently also have the rare ability to revive the fallen. Doesn't that make you a god of some sort? That said, you seem to cameo a lot more than actually star in things. You have Gold/Heart Gold but that's about it. You fly above Ash ever now and then to motivate him, and that's it. No movie or anything. There was also Pokemon Colosseum but even then you show up for roughly 10 seconds. For the player to see you again they have to go through the annoying Mt.Battle. You didn't even get on the cover for some ****ing reason! I mean sure the legendary trio of Johto, but what the **** was Groudon and Kyorge doing there?! You need to start lighting some asses up Ho-Oh, you deserve better than this!
Groudon
Another legendary that gets a bum rap, except it gets worse. Besides some minor cameos(half of which were fakes), you only got two anime episodes in your honor. Except the fight vs Kyorge was a terrible mess that was just too terrible to be considered a real fight. Hell all the stock footage of Hyper Beams....ughh. Well at least you have Pokemon Ruby, making you one of the first two legendary pokemon the player HAS to deal with. You're pretty intimidating, not only with your appearance, but with the whole world being fried if no one had stopped you. With that said, it seems you're terribly outmatched against Kyorge. I guess that makes some sense considering the majority of the Earth is water. Come to think of it, Rayquaza also gets taken out by Kyorge easily and it's supposed to govern over you two. Such an awkward little circle you three make... At least you have the most badass name! (Don of the land)
