>>55578557>helps accentuate the blueEntitled to your opinion, but no, it clashes badly
>look like armored layersWhere did this come from? Ignoring that it looks more like it was involved in some ecological oil spill disaster rather than armor, this just seems random and makes Samurott look like a completely natural follow-up to Dewott in comparison (and what's up with that blue ear sticking out like a sore thumb?).
>pokemon are supposed to look wideWhy? Making it too fat is just going to make it look slow and clumsy with the swords again. It looks fatter than the pokemon in the pic too.
>pokemon are supposed to look bareAgain, I doubt his credibility as someone who knows what pokemon should look like. Personally I don't think it has to be a bad thing like that anon said, but there are pokemon in the pic with detail on their arms/shoulders (like Swampert) to make the design look less empty there.
>the helmetLooks like shit, at least Samurott's helmet looks like it has the right shape. This just looks like an overturned boat somehow sticking to its head.
>The mustacheIs objectively worse, the other anon is correct. Makes it look even more like a mole if anything now (almost like that's where this design comes from).
>bulky and muscular fighterBack to point 3 again, why? A swordsman being "bulky and muscular" is just going to make it looks clumsy and awkward again, like OG Samurott often did. I bet if this thing was real it would look really bad in animation and anons would complain that it "can't use its tools properly!!!"
