In actuality, Oshawott and Dewott are just chibi cartoon otters and Samurott is supposed to resemble a real life otter. It's basically just a slightly more exaggerated transition than Meowth -> Persian, and it's far less of a stretch than Torchic turning into a red man with long blonde hair and bellbottoms. Samurott looks way cooler than Dewott anyway, it basically saves the line from being kawaii weebshit, and actually makes an interesting concept out of the shell armor instead of just randomly clipping two scallops to its thighs. My only gripe is that it wasn't Water/Fighting.
