And that's what Fire Pea is, just a Repeater for Frostbite Caves instead of a Grave Buster. It's better in FC, and has an OP PF, but if you're not using it for the PF, Repeater's better in all non-ice stages, especially if you're using chilling plants. So Hot Pot gets hated for being another Grave Buster but Fire Pea gets a free pass for being another Repeater?

That's like Sonic fans who complain about games where you have to play it multiple times with different characters, and yet love Sonic Adventure 2. It's hypocritical. That is admittedly true, and its name sucks like you and her's "adventures". However, the hatred is because Hot Potato is merely a reskinned Grave Buster used for different objects which are ALSO reskins. Fire Peashooter and Repeater, however, have select differences to set them apart, with unique advantages and disadvantages, so it's not entirely as bad as Laser Bean and Bloomerang.
