>>36833848Samurott is supposed to use its shells as blades, but even its Gen V sprite keeps it on all fours, so you never see this supposed concept put into practice except perhaps in the anime.

It's not so much that every Water type is unappealing as it is that they put the unappealing ones front and center---Swanna, Simipour, Basculin, instead of Jellicent, for one.
