The only reason people remotely like it because it was the most useful gen 3 starter
Samurott mogs that mudfish
I don't get how this argument even propagates itself. That's pretty much what actual sea lions look like in real life, they're giant blobs of fat that sit around all day.

It’s a beer belly, not a belly beer - which would describe a beer with attributes relating to a belly. You could say “a belly (full) of beer”, but I doubt you could handle it.
This makes it look more like Punova's Shitmurott, when Hisuian Samurott is good specifically because it fixes the original's design flaws.
Hisuian Samurott is great because it looks like no actual living animal, a monster in its own right, and has a clearly recognizable theme that plays into its design elements, while also having an aesthetically pleasing coloration, shape/form, etc.
People love Oshawott and Piplup, but Piplup never did anything to me and I disliked Oshawott from the start. Meanwhile, Squirtle, Totodile and Mudkip were all in my top of tops. Is it just me or is this “dip” real?
They want Piplup to be the next Togepi after Torchic fully evolved, to the point where it has to swallow an Everstone. And then it got popular and they made another Piplup banking on its success, which failed horribly.
Because the first two games are Red and Green, not Red and Blue. And you're supposed to pick the underdog (Grass) so your rival can pick the cool edgy one (Fire), leaving Water in the dust.

The consistent theme with Water starters is lack of conceptual effort combined with ugly designs from time to time. That's why they suck.

what a way to find out you're gay
The first 4 are great.

At least swampert doesn't look like a pool toy compared to shitmurott
>Oh no!, the otter looks like an otter
>Looks like an otter
But it doesn't.
You're either pretending to be moronic or you have autism, everyone else knows what he meant.
You might be blind as shit if you think that looks like an otter it looks more like an inbreed pitbull
I don't get how this argument even propagates itself. That's pretty much what actual sea lions look like in real life, they're giant blobs of fat that sit around all day.
>cartoon animal looks like cartoon animal
I'm shocked too.

Swampert is dull but it's a unique monster
Still mogged by H. Samurott
>empoleon

lmao it's just an ugly penguin
not even a functional one as its stupid bits of metal would prevent it from sliding

It's realistic.

Water staters suck ass because you aren't supposed to pick them. Pick a fire type like a man and get one of the 30 water types available in a region.
>Belly beer
ESL shit. Disregarded.
That is grammatically correct moron-kun
It is literally the opposite of correct ESL-kun.
Literally how so? moron-kun

Fricking frick these starters sucks ass it feels good to be a grasschad we have only one shitty starter
I’ll give you Meganium for free, it’s just meh not shitty. But Rillaboom and Chesnaught are shitty.
>the detail, anatomy and posing
all improved by the chad hisuirott
Shiny Hisuiott >>> Every other water starter

The original has none of the latter.

They're made by the same designer, maybe you just don't like their new style.
Thank you, I always thought Oshawott and its little onesie with neck testicles was rancid.
all four first form water starters are respectably popular, ashnime shilling thanked

All 5 are great, you just have bad taste
>weaponized digimon shit
So you're telling me the design was so good that digimon ripped it off?
Go back
water sux
Insane that Gen IV was the last generation where all three starters have competent designs
checked, based, redpilled
even though Empoleon fits their theme the least
