>>41936212It's design just doesn't work on any level.
>Let's make a samurai otter!But they placed it in the first region based outside of Japan
>Let's make it a swordsman!But it's quadrupedal with no musculature that denotes that it's capable of being bipedal, making any animation or image where it stands up look awkward and off-putting as hell
>Lets turn the katana sheaths into conch shells on its arm!But the blade is too long to actually fit inside his arms properly, on top of the forearm being one of the most awkward places to draw a weapon.
>Let's also give him a unicorn conch helmet to simulate war horsesAnd then they make it so huge that it dominates the entire upper portion of his body, making it incredibly top-heavy and even less likely to look able to stand without breaking its neck under the weight
>Lets make it evolve from Oshawott DewottIt shares almost 0 design elements with its previous forms aside from color
Every aspect of this Pokémon is terrible. Every single one. There is not one facet of its design that works either on an artistic level, or a realistic one. Samurott is the worst Pokémon in the franchise.
