Fucking why.

Because we already have Walrein and Samurott for our masculine pinnipeds.

This is the one thing keeping me from believing in that mermaid/siren thing. Why would they just drop the circus sea lion concept? Of all the starters, that seems to be the most obvious laid out path for it. Yes, Tepig doesn't really follow this rule, but everything about Popplio screams "clown"; its appearance, its behavior, its giant ball bubbles, everything. While the evidence is very consistent with the mermaid, I think I'm going to stay neutral on the line and just wait and see what happens.

So what, pinnipeds should never be depicted as feminine. They're among the most masculine sea mammals to exist, meaning that Poppmaid is a sin against nature itself.

>Samurott is a pinniped
Its an otter dipshit. Pinippeds have flippers and have their hind legs fused with their tails. Traits that Samurott doesn't posses.

Then why were sea cows thought to be mermaids by sailors, most of the marine experts of their time?

Clearly they wanted to base it off of a Selkie

Because people were bigger idiots back then.

That's even worse.
