>>44780352You're wilfully misunderstanding to remain angry at Game Freak's design choices. Or are you just too stupid to see their intent may not have been to have Samurot move bipedally, but to fight that way when needed? No, of course your doctorate of design from the University College Neet says you know better than them, so remain angry about something that happened 10 years ago (and almost certainly didn't bug you back in the day). Stay mad, only way you'll get closure is learn nip and go ask the sources directly, if you're intent on rejecting everything but your own headcanon.
>>44780323Standing still while some cunt charges you with a sword doesn't make sense to me kid, yet it's a trope, and GF staff are old enough to have seen that shit first-hand on release. It seems more likely to me than any thee sperg spewed here so far so until I get a direct deconfirmation, I'm going to continue seeing it that way. Lotta people forget, for all its internationalisation, Pokémon is STILL very much a Japanese thing at heart. Lot of things can be explained if looked from the Eastern perspective, instead of the Western one.
