Now that we actually have a seal starter, are we finally going to stop associating Samurott with Pinnipeds when it's clearly a Mustelid? It even has part "Otter" on it's name for goodness sake.

Ohmura designed it after seeing a sea lion in an aquarium, stumped on how to evolve Dewott into a final-stage.
Much like how Charmander goes from Salamander -> Dragon (and yet, in bothEnglish and Japanese, his final form is called "Lizard")
Also the bulbasaur line consists of exactly 0 dinosaurs.

Salamanders don't have claws. Charmander was only ever a salamander in the fire elemental sense.

We already have a Seal pokemon, its even named Seel. We should have gotten a DOLPHIN.

Agreed, now we can associate it with bad design only.
