You mean witch one of these sea mammals becomes the giant otter by evolution? The sea otter obviously as seals are not mustelids.

>Are we sure that Samurott wasn't a misplaced design meant for Gen 7?
Pretty sure it was designed late during B/W's development so no.

They admitted to Samurott being based on sea lions in an interview.
>>26272632
Yes, but they only admitted it's design will be a hybrid of an otter and a sea lion so it isn't a full-fledged pinniped. Besides seals and river otters look pretty similar outside of the ear length and leg structure anyway. Give a sea lion an otter-like structure and the result would be nearly identical to a giant river otter.
>>26272797
It's more like Samurott is a sea lion while still keeping some of the sea otter elements from Oshawott and Dewott. Any resemblance to a giant river otter is likely coincidental.
>>26273301
True. Samurott's still a poor portrayal of a pinniped compared to a mustelid though. Some people may refuse to accept it as an otter, but Samurott in it's true colors is more of a giant river otter-like creature than just an ordinary seal.

>Oomura: I said, “How about a sea otter for the Water-type?” But if a sea otter were to evolve, what would it become? That’s where I hit a wall. Eventually I said that if a sea otter was to evolve, it would transform into something completely different. [Note: The third rumored evolution of Mijumaru from a few days ago looks completely different than Mijumaru.]
>Oomura: I was a little worried, so I went to watch the sea otters at the aquarium. I happened to see the sea lion show, I noticed how strong the sea lions were. I thought, ah, I’ll try combining sea lions and otters together. I came up with the idea of them fighting by using the shells on their stomachs like swords, and Mijumaru and its [next] evolution were completed.

I'm gonna laugh so hard if the sea lion evolves into a giant otter
