>deflectionThanks for conceeding bears and samurott can lunge and attack quickly as just one of their preferred ways of attacking and that's perfectly fine
>tools as weaponsHow is this relevant? I said if a raccoon evolved into the human niche. It already uses tools. Humans are the only war-waging species with tools anyway, so you're just relying on it being the only possible way to do so because it's the only example that we have. You're not actually explaining how it's only possible like that. There could have easily evolved a different body plan that can fight quadrupedaly, and it would probably look like a mixed locomotor like Samurott. However, it wouldn't be limited by only having a handful of game animations. You have no idea how animals move. What I think anon is trying to get at is that animal speed and bendability is totally misunderstood by humans. You'd know this if you spent time near wildlife. Try turning your head as fast as a squirrel can. You fucking can't. Assume for a second Samurott were real. He'd be as fast as a bear when he actually moves, as he has that type of proportion instead of IRL Sea Lions. Look up hairless bears, and you'd screech "NOOO THAT CAN'T STAND EITHER" when it objectively can already and could easily evolve to do it more reliably+easily+speedily if it were Samurott. This whole notion that Samurott goes against biology has always been so fucking absurd to me and would imply most IRL predatory animals would be extinct by now due to innefficiency. Bears move insanely fast and Samurott could too. I'm really not trying to insult you, but it's easy to forget that animals can move EXTREMELY fucking faster than humans from a state of standing still just milliseconds ago. Instead, almost every pokemon is now animated in a way similar to a human-related cartoon character.
