blastoise is fine, just wish it were quadraped

gamefreak needs to stop turning all starters into human professions/personalities/archetypes/etc

Charizard, despite its popularity, regardless if said popularity is genuine or artificial, actually feels and behaves like a proper Pokémon.

It’s not that it’s biped, that’s fine, the issue is with the steel cannons on its back.

this anon gets it. I considered labeling it as a character at first, but then I thought that the beard is there to make it look interesting and doesn’t interfere with Samurott’s function, nor does it make it look human. It’s not like Incineroar who wrestles, or Delphox who looks like a furry mage with the entire fur getting shaped like a robe.

I think Blaziken, Infernape and Empoleon are fine

Blaziken is not based off of a martial art but rooster fighting. It doesn't even have human features aside from its body shape.

Infernape in the end is a monkey which will always look like an anthro. I just think the fact that he's based off of a character (son wukong) doesn't really do him favors.

Empoleon is more like a silverback gorilla which each pack of piplups and prinplups will only have one of each. It's litteraly the emperor of the pack.

Honestly, even as someone who likes Rillaboom I think it’s fucking stupid you’ve crossed out the colourful primate instead of the gorilla who literally has a drum set.

Blastoise and Empoleon are nonsense too, but I agree with Gens 6-8

Samurott does use swords as its primary weapon however. It's always shown using the swords as its main weapons, it rarely uses anything else.

It's GF autism.

All three Unova starters technically mixed attacks, but:

>Serperior: 75 Attack / 75 Special Attack (equal)
>Emboar: 123 Attack / 100 Special Attack (higher Attack)
>Samurott: 100 Attack / 108 Special Attack (higher Special Attack)

Though in Samurott's case, the difference is miniscule, and it has a better physical movepool than Special + it learns Swords Dance

he is not based off Karate, he's litteraly a rooster fighter with its own style. The closest martial arts that comes close to Blazikens style is probably Muay Thai.

Thats not even true lol
Out of all of the attacks they could've used, they went with a special attack instead of a sword-based attack.
It is not designed to rely on it's swords as the most experienced of samurai never used them as their main weapons

It primary fights with swords (Razor Shell) and its horn (Megahorn). The most prominent Samurott in the anime used a moveset of Razor Shell, Aqua Jet, Megahorn, and Hydro Cannon.

The swords are just as integral to Samurott's fighting style as Marowak's bone is

That's literally its ability. Darkrai has Bad Dreams (Nightmare in Japanese), which activates when it uses its signature move, Dark Void. So yes, nightmares are Darkrai's "signature".

Literally fucking look

90% of all depictions of Samurott have it using its swords most of the time. It's primarily a close range fighter with its swords and only occasionally uses ranged attacks like Hydro Cannon.

Samurott, from the beard to the shell armour and weapon, is designed to be a male samurai sea lion and therefore, a special character.
Rillaboom is also a special character due to it having a whole drumset attached to it's back, long hair, and mannerisms like a 80s drummer.
