It is though. It's not good at all, but it's better than Samurott. Even Greninja and its grotesque tongue scarf is better than the awful pool inflatable that is Samurott.
The fact morons will always use this abomination as an excuse to not choose the "anthro starter" when even as a quadrupedmon it sucks will always be funny to me
like nobody gives a shit if it's not anthro there are better quadrupedmon like picrel he doesn't look utterly moronic like samurott so please raise your standards quadrupedgays
>One of the best starters in years >Worse than blow up pool toy
No.
idk why but i hated how monferno looks in the anime and that kinda put me off it for a while, but realising how great it was otherwise was a good revelation
More like water starters are "ugly" but have lots of charm and big fanbases.
Grass starters are cursed to be the most boring and forgettable, with no fans to speak of.

Hating on popular things doesn't make you cool >pool inflatable
Literally the exact same shape as Salamence, didn't stop it from being really popular. But sure, Samurott does look fat, I like the official artwork for the Hisuian version more, looks more agile.
Samurott is the worst if you are just looking at the drop in quality from base form to final.
If we’re looking at which line is ugly the whole time, there is no point which Rillaboom is appealing.
If we are looking at standalone 3rd stage starters, it’s close between Quaquaval and Incineroar

Come on now
Samurott doesn't even have a bad design, but if it did there are still so many others above it
Like 90% of starters are anthro. But Venusaur and Meganium are quadrupedal and are not popular, makes sense why there's so many anthro starters after those.
>immersion
What immersion? it's a fantasy world where a literal wrestler in underwear walks around >as wild creatures
if only you could find these in the wild
>What immersion?
Look at gen 1. The concept art, the worldbuilding literally everything put in front of your fricking eyes. It's a fact that pokemon are designed to be creatures that can believably live in a world with supernatural adaptations so why sit here and act like a moronic Black person?
also >fantasy worlds aren't made to immerse people
>a literal wrestler in underwear
yeah pokemons goofy, but machamp/machoke dont resemble any one specific animal. They are monsters designed around having humanoid body. Their humanoid qualities make them intentionally unsettling, like uh, yknow monsters. These qualities that distinguish them from anthro's make them believable as wild creatures

Birds and felines aren't specific animals either
What's the point of drawing this distinction again?
People don't think of birds and felines as one animal either. my original point was that the machoke line's features aren't specific to an individual species of animal which you turned into this weird semantics think of "you know what I mean when I say it"
what do you think someone means when they say "specific animal", because lizards, felines, and birds aren't it. There are many different kinds of lizards felines and birds that people associate as different "specific animals"
The ugly head that is dominated by that shit crest in the middle of it, ugly undefined arms, uninspired fur clothes, and lazy overall design look a lot worse than, what, just a sea lion?
Compared to a stupid lump with undefined inflatable limbs with no joints, and is inexplicably completely animalistic in spite of the first two forms being bipedal? Samurott is absolutely bottom of the barrel.
>No joints
???? As for the quadruped switch I think it better serves the sense of imposition it has over Oshawott and Dewott as a shogun to a regular swordsman
the meganium line isn't ugly at least, they're just irredeemably bland shitmon who are right at the middle of the grass type in quality (at least when they were released, they've fallen off hard since then)
Samurott's line at least has two good forms, The entire shitfernape line is horrible.
literally one of the best starter lines ever made but ok
nah its lame as frick Blaziken is way cooler this is a lame rip off
Infernape mogs Samurott and that's all that matters. No one gives a shit about first stages
filtered
Oddly enough, Monferno is probably the best in the line, but absolutely not enough to redeem Infernape and especially Chimchar
Damn i love monferno's blue mandrill face it sucks infernape doesn't have it
its just Monkey Charmillion
idk why but i hated how monferno looks in the anime and that kinda put me off it for a while, but realising how great it was otherwise was a good revelation
I threw up at your shit taste
Why are we all pretending like this doesn't exist?
>T.
He and Cinderace are both unspeakably ugly, I just had the pic on standby
Inceleon is down there but the gay duck is worse by a mile
He looks better than Samurott. Water starters are cursed though, Swampert, Blastoise, Inteleon and Empoleon are like the only not shit ones.
>Inteleon
>not feraligatr
homosexual
>baracroc

More like water starters are "ugly" but have lots of charm and big fanbases.
Grass starters are cursed to be the most boring and forgettable, with no fans to speak of.
grass starters are just too tastefully designed and subtle for the manchildren that consume this franchise.
Infernape is Blaziken but non troony looking
Let's end this once and for all.

oh wow gee i sure hope this poll doesn’t get botted to shit like every other internet poll

Ok homo
It is though. It's not good at all, but it's better than Samurott. Even Greninja and its grotesque tongue scarf is better than the awful pool inflatable that is Samurott.

Funny that Salamence also evolved from a bipedal creature
But it's true the tongue scarf is grotesque.

answer the question
Looks nothing like a marine animal it's more terrestrial than anything it's ugly stumps lifts it's body off the ground like a dog than stay on the ground like the supposed sea lion he is supposed to be
>Looks nothing like a marine animal
it's a fricking sea lion dude
That thing is just too sad to look at
>Marine creature moves like marine creature
Okay? You have yet to explain why it looks bad
>It's supposed to look like shit
Lol
>You have yet to explain why it looks bad
Get new eyes
Joe swanson if he pokemon
NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>Look better than samurott
Your point?
>a sea lion walks more comfortably on land than samurrot does
Thanks for admitting samurrot isn't terrestrial.
kek anti-Samurott gays BTFO
It’s still based on a marine animal, so of course it’s going to be different from a terrestrial creature. Even a child wouldn’t be surprised by this
Both are good

Like 90% of starters are anthro. But Venusaur and Meganium are quadrupedal and are not popular, makes sense why there's so many anthro starters after those.
Venusaur is the best pokémon design ever made by far
anthromons suck ass
if done poorly breaks the immersion of pokemon as wild creatures

What immersion? it's a fantasy world where a literal wrestler in underwear walks around

no it fricking isn't cinderace is the worst starter design in the series
>Rillaboom
Still better than Meganium. Samurott is a starter I enjoyed on black one, white 2, omega ruby, moon and legends Arceus.
the meganium line isn't ugly at least, they're just irredeemably bland shitmon who are right at the middle of the grass type in quality (at least when they were released, they've fallen off hard since then)
Meowscarada is the only good thing from SV.
I don't get the hate for it.
it's one autismo
absolutely just one guy
samurott haters are the single most moronic group in the non-anime pokemon community
>samurott haters are the single most moronic group in the non-anime pokemon community
Cinderace is way worse
this is a samurott
>God is better at making sea lions than gamefreak
It’s actually more of an ancient pinniped as they shared otter/mustelid traits
The Gay Duck is the worst Pokemon design of all time you memeing frick.
Grehomie has that job
yusuke ohmura is very good at designing people, especially clothes for them. but he should never be allowed to design pokemon again.
if thats the worst i have high hopes for what the best one is like
