Can anyone explain to me why /vp/ considers Samurott as the worst designed pokemon in the franchise? Is it really that terrible compared to the rest of the 720?

But that is thoroughly explained every time these stupid threads pop up, but you faggots never pay attention and the thread 404's shortly thereafter only for it to reappear a couple of days or weeks later. What is even the point? You're still gonna ignore everything because M-MUH BRO!

Because it goes from bipedal otter to quadruped sea lion in just one evolution.

Yeah right, like Oshawott and Dewott are compatible with the concept as well. Why should I begin to give a shit that an aquatic samurai isn't practical just because Samurott is different from the rest of the family?
Oshawott and Dewott's heads are too big for them to be bipedal, and their limbs are way too small for support as swimmer or quadrupeds. But no, I'm suppose to begin to care when Samurott goes quadruped to better support its head and weapons.
Oshawott has no fingers, and Dewott hardly has anything that can be considered hands. Am I seriously going to sit here and pretend that Oshawott and Dewott can not only hold their weapons, but maintain their grasp as they swing it? According to /vp/, yes, I should while screaming how Samurott is the most impractical design in the series.

Some of it's body proportions are fucked up (the helmet is too big and the legs too small) but so are many other Pokemon's and nobody complains about them to the extent people do about Samurott.

I'm too lazy to get the full bullet point list but basically the gist is it abandons the themes of the previous starters for edgy escher swords, its body doesn't support its purported role, and it's a clusterfuck of clashing ideas that ultimately results in a very ugly Pokemon.

And Samurott is based on a pinniped, which shares the same first 5 letters of the scientific name of the Pen shell. The closest seashell that can resemble a sword. Your move faggot.

In BW1 I thought the thing on its head was its sword and was completely fine with it. Of course back then there were still a few pieces of media indicating that it had swords in its legs but they were few and far between and you had to search for them. But when BW2 came out and the leg sword shilling really started Samurott completely went to shit. It ruins the design and is a complete betrayal to Samurott's original fans.

tl;dr it's the leg swords

Stop comparing Youkai to Pokemon. They aren't the same thing. I'm sick of people doing this.

On-topic, Samurott had a good concept going but a case of artist's block(Oomura confirmed it himself)caused it to become what it is today. The only way to salvage it would be to make it full on bipedal but then that would probably raise a lot more questions.

Either way, it was doomed from the start.

How's shit taste treating ya?

I don't hate Samurott. It actually looks ok, but it's kind of forgettable especially since Gamefreak didn't really do anything to make it unique. Serperior has Contrary, while Emboar is also pretty meh but has a slightly more interesting movepool.

A shit starter with a shit fanbase. Who would've guessed?

It literally can stand up on 2 legs and use its sword horn thing.
Maybe they didn't fuck up and you're just a retard?
>>24787601
A shitposter posting on things he doesn't like with a shitty reaction gif and gives no reason for his shitty opinion. Who would've guessed?

>thread up for over a week
>people hate Samurott

This is just proof the overall Gen5 hate is an ironic meme. Even if one of out every 10 gen 5 hater isn't ironic, he doesn't make up for all the people such as the ones in this thread that actually do love it. It's literally the best gen and Samurott is a pretty cool mon.
I'm not big on Emboar but whenever I play BW/2 I always struggle between Serp and Samu.
