>>53765790Samurott is based and is mostly a victim of the BW anime being shit. In the games/lore it mostly uses its hidden blades either for quick draws or full out attacks when it’s already at close range, it’s not sitting there with both swords out for expanded periods of time.
Samurott being quadrupedal is also retroactively kino because it was literally the last quadrupedal final starter for 12 years until we got… Hisuian Samurott, and then Skeledirge. It helps it stand out since there’s only a handful of other unambiguously quadrupedal starters (Venusaur, Meganium, Swampert, Torterra, itself, and Skeledirge) and you schizos bitching about it proves it worked (controversy sells better than apathy)
