And if Samurott was finalized before even Oshawott, that just means it's the most unpolished design. Also the story claims the entire line was decided to be otters until Ohmura went to the zoo, meaning we would have gotten something close to Oshawott and Dewott anyway because the idea of otters using tools and eating clams is taken from their very nature, not from sea lions nor samurai. Idiot.
