>>28922169Yeah, and Brionne is building up the mermaid/singer theme.
Meanwhile Froakie and Frogadier build up a bubble theme Greninja entirely ignores and Oshawott and Dewott build up a biped theme with an emphasis on weapons they always have out, and then Samurott keeps its weapon sheathed 90% of the time.
You're justifying it in retrospect. You wouldn't have been given Dewott and said you expected it to go from a biped otter using a shell as a weapon to a blue biped otter with two shells to a unicorn sea lion that stands on all fours with a huge mustache and barely ever uses its weapons, in most official art and depictions at least.
