It simply fails against the later Gym Leaders and the Elite Four. Though it makes a nice early-game Pokemon. It kinda gets useless around Elesa, and after that it really only does well for one more Gym until being an eternal Box pokemon. Hah, I've stored many a starter and forgot. Then again, I beat the Elite Four with a bunch of Level 49s. (Critical Hits, they are a life-saver!)
I beat the whole game using My oshawott. I didn't evolve it for a while and now it knows moves that you can only dream of. My Samurott can destroy Serperiors with one blast of Hydro Pump, and even my lv. 100 genoscect can't compare. Do NOT call oshawott the worst starter. He's the best to a lot of people.
umm... Very few starters are good, and Temporal's reasoning was pretty spot-on. Anyways, judging by your post, I wouldn't say the *cough*hacked*cough* Genosect is too great, anyways. And I'm gonna guess you haven't been battling too many actual people, because Serperior is easily better than Samurott, especially if you're using Hydro Pump.
Samurott is decent in-game, but its bad base Speed kills it otherwise. It's got a pretty nice movepool though, with stuff like Aqua Jet, Waterfall, Surf, Ice Beam/Blizzard, Megahorn, Dragon Tail, etc.
