Will there ever be a good shark pokemon? Pic not related. Its a ball with a fin.
>>33067904
It's more a molamola with bite.
>>33067904
Define 'good' and you'll get a better answer. If just shitposting, good luck!
>>33067904
It's a shark mixed with a torpedo, it counts
And you've also got Garchomp
We have garchomp, and you can't get much more overrated than that.
>>33067904
>implying torpedoes are balls
>>33067966
I like garchomp a lot, I'm honestly pretty happy with the shark representation between him and sharpedo
something like a basking shark or whale shark could be cool, though
>>33068109

>>33067904
>not liking sharkboy
wtf is wrong with you?
>>33069073
That isn't the point though. It rips into ship hulls destroying them like a torpedo. Doesn't mean it has to be long and retarded, dummy.
>>33069073
a simplified cartoon torpedo
>>33067904
For years I thought Sharpedo was a normal shark shape and just had its back half angled in a way you couldn't see it in the sprite. XY was the first time I saw it with a 3D model and I still haven't gotten used to it just being a shark head with fins.
>>33069073
>ShaRPEDO isn't designed like a toRPEDO
>>33069534
Same. After I learned the truth I couldn't stop looking at it like it was really "half a shark". I like it for what it is now though.
>>33067904
Samurott, dumbass
>>33069534
Ditto. I was really disappointed after I caught one in Sapphire
>>33069073
For you, the child who has never seen a ball

Hello, idiots. The line has shark influences alongside being based off of otters.
>Oshawott = Shark Bait

I wish normal animals were canon so people like OP can be satisfied.

that's not what we're laughing at dumbass
it's Samur(samurai) + ott(otter)
Your entire analysis of the line is off the deep end my god
>>33070229
Sharks are deep sea creatures.
>>33070238
yes, and?
>>33070253
You implied they weren't, proving your ignorance in marine biology.
>>33070259
Are you saying that the phrase "off the deep end" implies that sharks aren't deep sea creatures?
>>33070197
>>33070238
>>33070259
Holy fucking shit you can't seriously be this fucking dense. This has nothing to do with marine biology, you're just an absolute retard for applying similarities where there are none. Also

>WAAAAH A POKEMON IS A POKEMON INSTEAD OF JUST A CARTOON ANIMAL ;_;
here's your other shark you faggot.
>>33070288
I have not heard of that phrase, and I assumed you were talking about sharks still. Please stay on topic and clarify when you're about to bring up something else.
>>33070294
You're saying I'm wrong but without refuting any of my points, rather trying ad hominem instead. Brackets and parantheses are interchangeable.

Sad
>>33070344
Ad hominem again.
>>33070355
You seem to be missing the point of this thread. While the >implying owls are birds fool thought real life lels were birds, I'm merely debating the origins of the design of the Samurott line. You are a newfag if you don't recognize the differeces in context.
I'll put it a different, simpler way. If they weren't plans to make a future shark starter pokémon, why haven't they made one yet? Obviously because Samurott already covers the niche.
>>33070169

your post was legitimately stupid
>>33070389
>I'll put it a different, simpler way. If they weren't plans to make a future shark starter pokémon, why haven't they made one yet? Obviously because Samurott already covers the niche.
I don't even know how to respond to this. Anon, you realize that samurott is supposed to be a sea lion, right? Where did your notion of it being a shark come from?
>>33070169
First, off bloody entrails are used ash shark bait. There is nothing suggesting Oshawatt is shark bait.
Next, Dewott is not wielding a harpoon or a spear and its skirt does not resemble shark fins.
Then, Samurott's tail is flat, which is distinctly un-sharklike. It's weapons are sword-based. And its limbs don't resemble shark fins at all.
That shark next to the s is completely arbitrary. I could just as easily say S(almon)amurott.
>>33070410
Yes.
>>33070434
>Hurrdurr Pokémon can only be based on one animal!!!
There it is again. Not that Samurott is a sea lion, anyway. That's what plebs will tell you.
Primarina is already the Sea Lion starter pokémon, it would make no sense if Samurott was also one. Plus both are drastically different. Gamefreak is smart, as they know to keep starters varied. That is why there are no two sea lion starters, and why Samurott and co. must, by process of elimination, be shark-based.
>>33070404
Hahaha, wow. You aren't funny and you're not contributing anything, you know. You could have either chosen to post with the rest of the intellectuals as we discussed, or you could have chosen to make a "humorous" post. You took the low road of zero effort and came
out making a fool of yourself. You are the reason 4chan is dying, becauss more people are invested in spouting comedy as opposed to getting real talking done between Anonymous philosophers. So I want you to think about that next time you are about to hit "send" on your funny little meme, Mr. Summer. Because you may be gaining approval from your ten year old peers, but you are also slowly shattering everything we hold dear. So carry on, asshat.
>>33070471
You are wrong on so many accounts it's hilarious. You are quite frankly daft if you can't see the parallels presented with Oshawott and Dewott as blindly as you did.

seriously how is it supposed to propel itself and reach 75 mph without a caudal fin or an opening in its backside
>>33070782
and they're slow as fuck, barely 2 mph top speed
>>33070595
What was this post? Asking for a friend.
What about Wishiwashi?
>>33067964
Sharpedo isn't based on a torpedo, it's based on a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk.
>>33070832
That's why you should wear spurs when you're riding them.
>>33070782
>>33070892
The original Japanese name of Sharpedo has nothing to do with torpedo, so I'm inclined to think this is true.
>>33070493
>gamefreak keeps starters varied
Two words: fire/fighting
>>33070898
But sharpedo was designed before alomomola dummy
>>33070733
Because Pokemon logic
I wish gamefreak learned how to design a good shark
