>The starter based on Western culture is an arrogant snake

>>32063792
A good half of the samurai were fucking assholes.

>The western snake is the only good one out of the 3
It means jap shits know their place

>The starter based on Western culture is an elegant snake

>The starter based on Chinese culture is a confident warrior

>The starter based on Japanese culture is an otter that turns into a chubby sea lion that fights with swords

>>32063792
I don't think these guys are as bad as people say they are

>>32063792
Marry, kill, fuck.

>>32063802
Every fucking "heroic warrior" archetype was a bunch of assholes in reality.

If anything they took a sea otter and gave it sea lion characteristics.

Is just a fat unicorn.

The fat pig is actually pretty based in the Myths.

Basically a genwun-style chimeramon.

Looks nothing like the original artwork.

Still offical tho

>>32063802
This.

I don't get why people say Samurott should be Water/Fighting. He's more Water/Dark if anything.

Its japanese name even translates to "Big, sword-wielding demon". Huh. I guess Greninja got the typing instead as ninjas are more recognized to be like assassins whereas "noble warriors" are the most common visual of the samurai.

Because Samurai were noble warriors. The being asshole thing isn't part of being a Samurai. That was part of being a human.

Dude, Serperior is based on a Korean Warrior.

You are so fucking desperate to project your shitty opinions that you actually convinced yourself its true.

>>32065985
Serperior is based on french royalty

>>32065944
Yet the biggest and most despicable and amoral assholes in known history were all samurais.

Really gets the neutrons turning around.

>>32065985
there's literally interviews where they said it's based on european royalty

It's kind of true, or at least true enough that they named a move after asshole samurai. Night Slash's Japanese name refers to samurai who were big enough jackasses that they would "practice" their swordsmanship on random passerby.

>Ken Sugimori has said that Snivy, Servine, and Serperior are based on French royalty, specifically mentioning the anime The Rose of Versailles as inspiration.

>>32066013
Because they had power to be assholes. That's the only reason, really. The job description of being a Samurai doesn't include being an asshole. That's just a flaw that comes from humans being in power.

>Japanese starter can breed

Ha! Got em'

>>32065996

Serperior has a fucking fleur-de-lis on its body, and the Parfum Palace in Kalos has a Serperior on the gate.

It's based on French royalty.
