I don't want to sound mean spirited, but we all know how Poppmaid (or whichever her name is) is presented in these concept arts, right?
Popplio's personality could change as he evolves, but I feel like these descriptions are also a clear clean shot of just how much these final evolutions DIFER from its forms.
As different as Oshawott was from Samurott for example, what was one thing that was obvious from his design? Heck, while we're at it, Chespin's too.
His weapon, his shell (which he used in a rather unique way). And in Chespin's case, his back shell which some people predicted for it to be involved as some sort of armor, although they weren't exactly sure.
Asides from Samurott's drastic change from its first form, did Oshawott's way of how he used the shell REALLY change? Or the way how Chespin uses his armor?
I can't shake the feeling that even although some points in these descriptions might be irrelevant, I wouldn't take the point on how Popplio seems to be found practicing hard on its balloon skills lightly either. One way or the other, these apparent skills WILL eventually surface and I feel like Game Freak intends to show us what Popplio is actually capable of regarding that.
Now look back at Poppmaid and tell me right in the face she looks capable of handling water balloons.
She doesn't, because we never actually see her actually maneuvering said water balloons. At best, we see her controlling tiny bubbles (read: bubbles, not balloons) and handling water waves.
Now, I'm going to make a question.
Why didn't Game Freak refer to these "water balloons" as merely bubbles?
