I forgive you sea pancake

First off, that’s a Manta Ray. We don’t have a stingray. Second off, he’d own the Safari zone, he wouldn’t want them to fight.

I should downvote you on principle but I laughed/GVSpSgt_d.png?maxwidth=290&fidelity=grand i could see him being a prof
Sketchanie
He wouldn't be a trainer, he would be a Pokémon ranger
nick02bronze
It’s super effective!
AlmightyIndigo
If here where in a game we would be the professor.
oddballbrandon89
NO MANTINE! WAIT!
LeafiaBarrett
I'd buy a game featuring Professor Irwin in a hearbeat, let me tell you.
youmetoo
Why should he? He was already the very best.
ChickenROAR
Trainer Irwin uses Wrestle! Wait, he can' - IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
TinHornGeKo
Steve would be a Pokémon Ranger**

"i have an idea how to make more money..."
kittirai
i could see him being a professor
TimAulliniJr
Professor Irwin. Or that guy running the kindergarten.
Tacune
Anyone who played the games would know he'd be a Poke' Ranger. Rescueing and rehabilitating hurt, captured or lost pokemon.
Sh4d0wM4nt1s
Mantine don't have a stinger. :P
DarkWhiteWolf
I just started a play through on Crystal a few days ago. I chose Totodile and named it Steve for this man.
MegaDeuce
Canonically, has a pokemon ever killed a human?
Jakefrost86
Dude......too soon.

He would be the biggest Pokemon conservationist in the region, and there would be a plot of Not-Team Rocket trying to get his pokemon.
f3n1x187
And he would have his entire reservation show up and own the non-team rocket and he wouldn't need to use a single pokeball.
Bucky091
Please he'd own the safari zone
Bunches0Lunches
PhailRaptor
Steve would have been a Pokemon Ranger, not a Trainer. Forming temporary partnerships with wild Pokemon to protect other wild Pokemon.
SarcasticComment
Then tackling them.

Pokemon Straya and Pokemon Kiwi coming soon to a meme near you
DerpDerpBinks
And they’d all have the most fucked up evolutions.
Cranbananarama
And every regional Pokémon has a poison typing.
BeesKneesJohanson
Well, if they make a region based on Australia you know exactly who’d be top contender for the design of that region’s Professor/ Safari man
Xaldyn
He'd have to be named after a tree, though.
mjangelvortex
From what I've heard there is an Irwin tree that makes a type of mango.
valen00
As an Australian the idea of Australian Pokemon is terrifying.
Vineheart01
You mean to tell me pokemon in the context of being real isnt terrifying in general?
hypkno139000
As a fellow aussie I now need this in my life

Mantine is a manta ray tho, big AF but mostly harmless.
bs13690
I found out the same thing first time I saw this Irwin meme. I was going to make the same joke about the ray and found the difference.
R3mmy
Water/flying type totally harmless if you know thunderbolt
Ericht
Mostly...
SoraHjort
Well they can jump. So body slamming is a possibility. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HkeGcj24K0
AnonKneeMoose
So is a stingray. Issue is it stabbed Irwin directly in the heart
PanzaeronQ
Thing is a manta can't even sting, doesn't have a stinger.
mac821
Well mantas couldnt really do that cause no stinger yea
SoraHjort
Manta's can't sting. At worse they can just body slam you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HkeGcj24K0
PanzaeronQ
Oof, that 85 Power with a 30% chance of paralysis
SoraHjort
But it won't poison you and leave you dealing with *VZTZ* every few steps till you get to a center...
Necropoledancer
That hasn't been a mechanic since like gen 3 I think?
