If the point of the article had been about wanting more diverse sea areas and getting a Snap-style Pokémon environment, I would've been completely on board with that. Sadly, it's just a small thing in the article.
In regards to the title, I'd argue fish Pokemon are pretty good design-wise and there are quite a few I like, but they get forgotten since you only find them in certain areas and when you do catch them, most of their stats and movepools don't help them be desired over other Water-types. This means that most of them will just end up being Pokedex and box filler to a lot of trainers.
