The problem is I'm not really a huge fan of the third stages of any of the three starters
Oshawott has to be my favorite starter from the Unova starters. I see how people may not like it's evolutionary line as it goes from a biped to a quadruped. But I think Samurott is a great final evolution.
My issue with Samurott is that it resembles a sea lion more than a sea otter, which I've always found weird for a Starter Pokemon.
In some way I thought that was cool because of the samurai motifs and I used to have Oshawott as my favourite Unova starter for a while. But since Serperior has gotten more attention in the competitive scene, I don't like the Oshawott and its evolutionary line as much these days.Samurott is indeed a sea otter, but he also has elements of sea lions and, of course, samurais.

True but to be honest I used to like the scalchop Oshawott and Dewott used as weapons because I never thought shells could be used as weapons in the first place. I thought that was a cool thing too.In some ways it's similar to the theme the third-stage Kalos starters went with: Chesnaught is a paladin, Delphox is a mage, and Greninja is a ninja (obviously). So both the Gen 5 and 6 final-stage Water starters are based on feudal Japan.
