Everyone's Favorite Otter Starter, Oshawott Surfs Into Battle!

[Otoad64]

(tell me if "Surfs Into Battle" has been taken)

This is the support thread for Oshawott, the Sea Otter Pokemon.

WHO IS OSHAWOTT?
Oshawott first appeared in Pokemon: Black & White for the DS, filling the usual role as a Water-Type Starter Pokemon, he would also receive a prominent role in the Anime, and is set to return as the Water Starter in upcoming game Pokemon Legends: Arceus

WHY SHOULD OSHAWOTT BE IN SMASH?
Oshawott hails from the Unova region, one of the few regions that currently lack a Fighter.

Oshawott is also one of the few Pokemon to wield a weapon, (yes, that shell is a weapon) making him stand out from the likes of Squirtle and Greninja

In addition, the Pokemon anime has often portrayed Oshawott as clumsy, which if used in smash could make him stand out through his animations

For as long as I can remember, I have never been deeply engaged with Pokémon (and other monster collection/battle media), but you have my patronage here. I might find and support that Meowth while I have the thought. I am sorry if I do not have the knowledge and zeal to say more. Pokémon is quite much to keep up-to-date for without being a near connoisseur.

I think this would be better left to taunts/victory animations.

Also count me as a supporter.

ANOTHER ANIME SWORDSMAN IN SMASH?

Nah, I kid.

I love Gen 5(tied with gen 3 for my all time peak of the series) and Oshawott's my absolute favourite from the starter trio. Sign me up.

Oshawott's a whole Otter Fun.

I saw someone on GameFAQs suggest having a Legends style Pokemon Trainer with a combination of Oshawott, Rowlett and Cyndaquil's evolutions similar to the Kanto trio. I think I'd be down for that too...not sure which forms for each I'd pick but Legends all have pretty damn good starter Pokemon.

alright, adding you all to the support list!

yeah, you're probably right. I was just trying to think of ways to make Oshawott stand out but I suppose the shell might be enough

 

[TheThingamajigRayman]

Add me too. Oshawott is one of my favorite starters, and having a first-evolution starter besides just Squirtle would be cool!

I love the shell boyo!

Oshawott is my favorite Pokemon, and I hate that he's been relegated to one of the worst Support Pokemon since Brawl. I support him in Smash.

Oshawott is my favorite pokemon, and with him being a starter announced for Pokemon Legends Arceus I think it would work very well, count me in.
