Alternatively, since you want to discuss them in relation to usefulness in Pokemon, let's look at it this way:
Otters are cute and soft, relatively gentle and laid back animals. Territorial and willing to protect their young, but reasonably docile.
Pigs on the other hand will relentlessly devour anything - food, otters, human beings - they can get their hands on, skeleton and all. They are still savage and wild creatures, not to be trifled with, and many careless people have met a rather horrific demise because of it.
Hm, didn't know that about pigs, but that doesnt change my opinon on how they look and how boring and annoying they are. They're just, like, fat, thats it, everything they do centers around their obesity, they eat anything, they look fat, they sound like they're whining every time they squeal and they grunt, and they roll around in mud. I happen to like that Otters are docile creatures it gives them a cool calmness that pigs are sorely lacking.

I hope you guys know that pigs are like the 3rd or 4th smartest animal on the planet aside from Dolphins and Monkeys (and maybe something else.). Otters are just lazy and swim around all day. The only reason Pigs roll around in mud is to keep themselves cool on hot days.

the part about pigs is true. but otters are in no way stupid (i kno you never said they are, just putting that out there). pigs can be cute too, imo. just not your average farm-raised, straight to the butcher pig. and they're only obese (if they ever are) due to what their owners/farmers feed them. they're actually pretty strong in the wild.

Otters are characteristically playful and family-oriented.
They're extremely kind creatures to all except their prey. They usually live in colder waters, and have to eat more when the weather is warmer (weird).
They're very prey-specific, so they're much more susceptible to drastic food chain change than most other species.
Sea otters are the only species that don't have long, muscular tails.
Pigs are tactical and brutal, as well as territorial.
Something interesting.. They're known for changing ecosystems. As they're introduced to new habitats, they uproot vegetation while scavenging and spread weeds.
This drastically alters the food chain in the area, and sometimes leads to full-on extinction/endangering of species.
And as a side note, they don't have sweat glands. That, along with protection from sunburns and parasitical insects, is why they roll in mud.
Snakes have been around for about 60 million years, and some possible snake ancestor fossils have been found from 150 million years ago.
Their direct ancestors are known to have had one set of legs, which I found particularly interesting.
Snakes do not have teeth, but do have bony protrusions on the inside edges of their spines that help with, say, breaking eggs.
Snakes don't have external ears, so they can't hear snake charmers' flutes, but DO follow the movement.
They don't have a specific temperament. They bite to kill prey more often than out of self-defense.

Pigs play important roles in our society.
Otters do not.

You're all missing the most important point.
Pigs == bacon.

in the very first movie, they're eating a stew with meat in it. yes, they eat meat. but i've always wondered if there are also regular animals that serve the purpose of providing meat.
INSTANT BACON ALWAYS WINS. NOMNOMNOM but i heard in texas they eat rattlers o_O but grass doesn't cook it, only flavors (basil)

There are two reasons you could have posted this, and I'm curious as to which it was.
1. You don't eat pork, and therefore the excitement is lost on you.
2. You don't yet know pork and pigs are the same thing. Remember Porkey Pig? That wasn't just a funny name.

That's a good point. If you pick Pokabu, then at least you have something to eat in an emergency.

Not only delicious food, guys, pigs also play an important role in medicine! For instance, where would ophthalmology be without them?
