>>43521624>They don't have to hold anything for it to matter.Tell that to the people who show the walking/running gifs to justify why Samurott shouldn't have them. I don't think you're one of those people making that argument, but I was only really talking about that singular point against samurott.
>It's not a matter of hands looking like they couldn't hold objects, it's a matter of a creature being able to stay at balance while holding said objects..I wasn't arguing about that, but I totally understand what you mean. Though it does look like he looks he's doing fine with balance in your reference gif, since he's putting one of his front legs down each time he's not being struck. Besides, samurott never seems to walk with the other three legs when he unsheaths his sword, so it's not that much of a problem. I think we'd all like to see how it works, but they've never shown it. Maybe if we get to see it in action, it'd make more sense. I also don't see a problem with the dual-wielding thing. Again, I Understand your grief with only seeing him on his back legs when he uses two swords, but it's the same problem with seeing him walk with just one: we never get to see it happen. I theorize that he walks with one sword just like he does wielding two, because there's no reason to think he doesn't. We can see him switch from being a quadruped to a biped whenever he wants (gif related).
>Farfetch'd and Sirfetch'd don't need to worry about this.When I mentioned Far/Sirfetch'd, I was mostly talking about the absurdity of the "bending fathers" (to counteract the noodle-arm gripe), not their postures.
