Those are some nice sprites. Who made them
they really peaked with empoleon
indeed
I don't get it, why is Excadrill there
I like Blastoise

Still wondering how you can unironically hate Samurott...
Blind hate against Unova. Johto’s dex ended up a forgotten failure because Game Freak’s was too busy shilling KANTOOOOOO to give Gen 2 mons a chance to shine to the pint where even the starters are universally hated. Gen 5 wanted to avoid this by having a large dex that can stand on its own and fully utilize the new Pokémon so people can get attached to them. But Genwunners couldn’t cope thus Unova was made to be Masuda’s magnum opus and not another backyard for Kanto.
>muh gen 2 was forgotten nonsense out of nowhere
wrong and obsessed
It's in the top 3 ugliest starts anon.
You have to admit.
Objectively wrong
when Inteleon Primarina and Quaquaval exist?
Dewottgays like to play the victim and pretend they were robbed a balding twink when it was always meant to be this way
>it was ALWAYS meant to be shit!
why should I care exactly

Except neither of its forelegs are touching the ground in that page moron. Now take the L
>Except neither of its forelegs are touching the ground in that page
Its left one clearly is.
Your a moron then.
I was generous enough to provide you a posture of its forelimbs touching the ground compared to the fighting scene, but your hateboner is so immense that you refuse to acknowledge the differences for no good reason.
>I was generous enough to provide you a posture of its forelimbs touching the ground compared to the fighting scene,
Both panels show it clearly touching the ground.
Prove that right panel is touching the ground when it’s nothing like the grounded posture of the left panel.
it swims
Why do people only post this one part?
It uses its swords just fine.
Just put the Full Moon in the night behind it honestly.
>It uses its swords just fine
If that were true the webm wouldn’t exist
>Samurott haters watched the anime
Anon at some point you must realize NO ONE gives a shit about the anime past season 1. Watching its shitty animations and interpretations of pokemon and having those mons ruined for you is your own God damn fault.
What the frick is a “first partner”? Why did you post starters?
>samurott redesign
>it's ugly as frick
Every single time
This, but with 90% of pokemon redesigns, not just Samurott.
Redesigntards aren't aware that the designer stated that the Samu line was reverse enginered, so a sonic OC with Dewott features would never be a reality.

Stop shilling your shitty Excadrill recolor.
Samurott will always be the worst starter. Cope.
That dishonor belongs to Inteleon.
Inteleon gets more b***hes than you.
Condoom is even more popular, arrest.
Amazing how hard Excadrill brutally mogs that Deviantart design.
because game freak designed it and you’re a game freak bootlicker
Simipour!

You're all deranged homosexuals that can't accept differing opinions.

You can blame pic-rel for being desperate for people to like his ugly OC in every thread.

Nice
I'm a watergay to the end, I honestly like all of them.
I'd say Quaquaval is my favorite. Love that pompous peawiener.
Inteleon is hot.
Primarina is the only one i like.
>Amazing
Greninja.
>Good
Samurott
>Abomination
The remaining three.
Each new one is slightly worse than the previous
It's funny because none (zero) of these sprites are real.
IMO greninja best fit the sleepy, gothic style of Kalos more than either of the other starters. I have a sort of imaginary scene in my head of my trainer vibing in a cafe while eating macaroons and sipping coffee, with greninja equally chill and squatting next to him, meditating for it’s next battle.
Mega Swampert
What the frick did you do to Samurott? He looks like an ugly bastard waiting to cuck you.
Inteleon
They already kneeled. You're next, possibly.
>They already kneeled. You're ne-ACK
>shows Samurott oneshotting a pig
proving him right
it’s very cool how samurott’s sword only works if the opponent directly runs into it like a moron while samurott stands stationary
This is not a fanfic thread.
You’re right, it isn’t.
Glad you agree he can move in multiple ways. Therefore,
's wrong.
> Glad you agree he can move in multiple ways
And none of those multiple ways involving walking while holding its swords. You know, the thing that would be most useful for it to do while holding its swords.
>walking while holding its swords
Why can't it do this? Is there something about its anatomy preventing it? Or are you just hellbent on them animating it for you first?
Ok moron.
>posts a gif of it not walking
Thanks for proving my point.
>posts a gif that proves it's entirely capable of walking and that there is nothing wrong with its anatomy or any other element of it that prevents it from doing so
FTFY
Do you think Rillaboom can't walk because they never showed it?
>wtf was God thinking? There's no way for a creature to fight without standing up bipeally!
Bears can walk while using their claws because their claws are directly attached to the ends of their limbs. They're not handheld tools it needs to manually pull out, you fricking moron.
>handheld tools it needs to manually pull out
And what difference does that make, exactly? Again, we're talking about this effect on being quadrupedal. There are still two steps in both cases.
Bear:
Raise arm
Swing arm down to swipe
Samurott:
Reach for Sword
Slash sideways or up.
And these are just the ways it can attack when not bipedal or airborne
> And what difference does that make, exactly?
If your limbs are being used to hold tools then they can’t be used at the same time to walk, you colossal fricking moron.
Do you think it’s a coincidence humans evolved to walk on two legs while also being the species that most heavily uses tools? Why the frick do you think that is?
>If your limbs are being used to hold tools then they can’t be used at the same time to walk
Just like how bears can't walk on their front paws while using them to attack, either.
>humans
the only example of intelligent life on the planet. you can't just say we're the ideal body plan for every niche, especially a fictional one. Luckily, Samurott has a way of sorting the swords when not in use, unlike the human body.
Anon, I want you to actually articulate what Samurott is incapable of doing. You're giving me vague shit that does not get anywhere.
>sorting
storing*, apologies
>Just like how bears can't walk on their front paws while using them to attack,
Thanks for self reporting yourself as a moron who doesn’t know how claws work.
> the only example of intelligent life on the planet
Yes morono, being intelligent magically made people bipedal with opposable thumbs. That’s definitely how it works.
>doesn’t know how claws work
Show me a bear ATTACKING with it's claws and simultaneously walking on it's front paws.
>being intelligent magically made people bipedal with opposable thumbs
Why didn't every animal in the fossil record with opposable thumbs walk bipedal then? Look up a Suminia.
>Show me a bear ATTACKING with it's claws and simultaneously walking on it's front paws.
Do you understand how claws work? They're DIRECTLY ATTACHED to the limbs its walking on, you colossal fricktard. Meaning that all the bear has to do is simply walk while making contact with its target and they'll get injured by the sharp claws. Samurott can't walk while using its Swords because they're separate tools it has to HOLD. How are you this moronic? Is it how you're able to think Samurott is a good design in the firsat place?
>Why didn't every animal in the fossil record with opposable thumbs walk bipedal then?
Damn moron, maybe it's because opposable thumbs can be useful for things other than using tools.
>simply walk while making contact with its target and they'll get injured by the sharp claws
Clearly you've never seen how a bear uses its claws. It temporarily doesn't use its front paws for walking you fricking moron. It lunges, and that is not a problem. Just like with Samurott, it can run quadrupedally (ignoring the bipedalism it's capable of for a second) and lunge, quickly slashing with its sword, and return it to its sheathe and keep running with that arm in one smooth motion. It being handheld doesn't diminish its ability to do anything
>maybe it's because opposable thumbs can be useful for things other than using tools
So you're ignoring any quadrupedal opposable thumb tool-users in nature to make it seem like you have a point?
>Clearly you've never seen how a bear uses its claws
Stop projecting.
>So you're ignoring any quadrupedal opposable thumb tool-users in nature to make it seem like you have a point?
So you're ignoring how humans evolved to be bipedal because it was advantageous to them and made it easier to use tools to make it seem like you have a point?
>n-no u
Still waiting for bear footage, Jamie
>shifts to humans
again, we're the dominant animal on the plant. Just because that's out body plan to use tools doesn't mean it's the universal only way to do so in a successful way. Imagine if primates never existed and a raccoon (just an example) relative evolved to fill the niche instead.
Holy shit my typos are rampant. Plant=planet, out=our
my bad
>involving walking while holding its swords.
Except it does?
Your free to say that it “looks awkward” but saying it’s a “paraplegic sword user” is pure headcanon and not fact
>Except it does?
Except it doesn't?
>Still waiting for bear footage, Jamie
Still waiting for Samurott walking footage, Samurottard.
>and a raccoon (just an example)
Raccoons don't use tools as weapons. Get a better argument.
>Except it doesn't?
Prove to me thats it’s stationary in that scene moron. I’ll wait.
>Prove to me thats it’s stationary in that scene
>It's onlybstationary because it's a manga drawing
It's only stationary because it's a bad design that makes no sense.
>Thanks for conceeding bears and samurott can lunge and attack quickly
Bears can. Samurott can't because it can't walk and use its swords at the same time.
>How is this relevant? I
Being if it were a weapon then it would need to move while using tools. If raccoons can just sit there stationary while using tools because they're just using it for food then they don't benefit from being bipedal like humans do, fricktard.
>Samuttards use anime as evidence
>anime shows Samurott acting moronic because of its nonsensical design
>"ummm actually the anime doesn't count"
>Ask proof in the manga
>Responds with anime gifs
So you still can’t prove how it’s stationary moron.
>Except it doesn't
It's onlybstationary because it's a manga drawing you fricking moron. It can still walk just fine.
>deflection
Thanks for conceeding bears and samurott can lunge and attack quickly as just one of their preferred ways of attacking and that's perfectly fine
>tools as weapons
How is this relevant? I said if a raccoon evolved into the human niche. It already uses tools. Humans are the only war-waging species with tools anyway, so you're just relying on it being the only possible way to do so because it's the only example that we have. You're not actually explaining how it's only possible like that. There could have easily evolved a different body plan that can fight quadrupedaly, and it would probably look like a mixed locomotor like Samurott. However, it wouldn't be limited by only having a handful of game animations. You have no idea how animals move. What I think anon is trying to get at is that animal speed and bendability is totally misunderstood by humans. You'd know this if you spent time near wildlife. Try turning your head as fast as a squirrel can. You fricking can't. Assume for a second Samurott were real. He'd be as fast as a bear when he actually moves, as he has that type of proportion instead of IRL Sea Lions. Look up hairless bears, and you'd screech "NOOO THAT CAN'T STAND EITHER" when it objectively can already and could easily evolve to do it more reliably+easily+speedily if it were Samurott. This whole notion that Samurott goes against biology has always been so fricking absurd to me and would imply most IRL predatory animals would be extinct by now due to innefficiency. Bears move insanely fast and Samurott could too. I'm really not trying to insult you, but it's easy to forget that animals can move EXTREMELY fricking faster than humans from a state of standing still just milliseconds ago. Instead, almost every pokemon is now animated in a way similar to a human-related cartoon character.

>nuuu why am daddi gaem fraek not take muh dispasionately autistic descriptor for a pogeymans trope
That comment would actually hold more weight, if we weren't stuck on the containment board for brainwashed manchildren. But as it stands, it's just another autistic waste of flesh crying about the world being mentally sound.
Primarina. It's also my favourite water type first partner full stop, as it's the only one to not be easily replaced by a bog-standard Gyarados.
Your OC sucks Raphael Borg. The original Samurott is a thousand times better.
Greninja had the strongest design.
It’s a jobmon but it doesn’t have those manlike proportions that you see in Gen 8 or 9. It’s more frog than ninja.
