>>29641996Samurott is a strange case.
Within the context of its evolutionary line, it's terrible. There's nothing about the transition from Dewott to Samurott that looks natural. It's a failed evolution.
However.
Remove Dewott and Oshawott from the picture. Without the criteria of its evolutionary line being imposed upon it, it's a damn good design. It's a unique creature with a body type that's never been done before, and it looks believable. It has a really solid design.
I love Samurott. I can forgive it for deviating from Dewott and the samurai motif not being as well-executed. I think that it looks great on its own.
