>>56315315>in-gamethe animators never did it, but that's to grounds to say "it can't" when other media depicted it. It's only grounds to say "it didn't". If Mario Neve clapped his hands in main Mario games, it would be stupid to say he's incapable of clapping. Same with, say Machoke. If it can stand in any media without changing proportions (happened) and nothing about its anatomy prevents it from doing the thing discussed (also true) then it can do it. It isn't hard to understand. Did you think Donphan rolling was non-canon until it was brought from the anime to the main series several generations later? NOTHING had walking animations until the 3D games, so did you seriously think nothing could walk? It just happens to be Gamefreak is extremely lazy, so the priority for Samurott's animations went first to its "default" poses and animations.
