Squirtle (ゼニガメ, Squirtle^? Zenigame in original Japanese language versions) is one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar^[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. Squirtle is most famous for being one of the three Pokémon players can choose from at the beginning of their adventure in the Pokémon Red & Pokémon Blue (as well as the remakes of these Pokémon Fire Red and Pokémon LeafGreen) and Pokémon Green versions of the Pokémon series.

The name Squirtle is a portmanteau of squirt, its primary battle technique with water, and turtle. Alternatively, the name could be a fusion of the words squirrel and turtle, as Squirtle has a squirrel-like tail. While its Japanese name, Zenigame, is likely derived from the word zenigame (銭亀【ぜにがめ】), which means pond turtle, it could also be a pun derived from 銭 and 亀 (zeni kame, literally money turtle).

Squirtle, and its evolutions Wartortle and Blastoise, are often overlooked in general because of their very broad Water-typing, ranked below powerful Pokémon such as Suicune or Water dual-types, such as Lapras, Lanturn or Kingdra. Squirtle also appears frequently in the Pokémon anime, as one of the Pokémon obtained by Ash Ketchum, the protagonist of the series. According to Time magazine, Squirtle was considered one of the “more popular” in the original series.^[3] Wartortle , Kameil) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards and other media created by Satoshi Tajiri. ...

Squirtle are small, bipedal, blue turtles with brown shells and distinctive clublike tails. Shortly after birth, their backs swell and harden to make them more resilient towards attacks; most objects will bounce right off a Squirtle’s shell when force is applied. The shell’s rounded shape and the grooves on its surface also allow Squirtle to swim at high speeds with minimal resistance. When feeling threatened, Squirtle withdraw their limbs and their long necks into their shells and spray water from their mouth with great force, either to attack their opponent or merely to intimidate it. This ability is also used to stun prey while hunting.^[4] Image File history File links Information_icon. ... Suborders Cryptodira Pleurodira See text for families. ...

Role

Video games

One of the things consistent among most of the Pokémon games—spanning from Pokémon Red and Blue on the Nintendo Game Boy to the un-released Nintendo DS game, Pokémon Diamond and Pearl—is the choice of three different Pokémon at the start of the player's adventures; these three are often labelled "Starter Pokémon". Players can choose a Water-type, a Fire-type, or a Grass-type Pokémon indigenous to the region; an exception to this rule is Pokémon Yellow (a remake of the original games that follows the story of the Pokémon anime), where players are given a Pikachu—an Electric-type mouse famous for being the mascot of the Pokémon media franchise.^[5] This article deals with the Pokémon video games. ...

In the original titles (Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue) as well as their remakes, (FireRed and LeafGreen), Squirtle is the Water-type Starter Pokémon offered to the player at the beginning of their adventure, along with Charmander, the Fire-type choice, and Bulbasaur, the Grass type choice. When an individual takes a Squirtle, the rival trainer will invariably choose Bulbasaur, as Bulbasaur has a type-advantage over Squirtle: Bulbasaur’s Grass attacks are particularly effective against Squirtle's Water-typing.

In the next game, Pokémon Yellow, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle are not available from the start, as all three have already been taken by other trainers; instead, the player starts with a Pikachu. Squirtle becomes available later in the game, as a gift from an NPC. This progression is much closer to the storyline of the anime. The three original starters are not available in any of the other games in the series (except serving the same purpose in the enhanced remakes FireRed and LeafGreen). However, Squirtle is one of the random Pokémon available in Pokémon Stadium as a prize for defeating all of the Gym Leaders and Elite Four members, the highest level of competition in the game. Squirtle are never found in the wild, and because of their rarity, are a popular choice for in-game breeding and trading with other players.

As a Water-type Pokémon, Squirtle has an advantage over the Pokémon of the first Gym Leader (Brock, who specializes in the Rock type), but has a stalemate type-wise with Misty’s Pokémon, and is vulnerable to the Electric and Grass assaults of Lt. Surge and Erika. Its final evolution, Blastoise, is a powerful Water Pokémon which would probably be more notable if not for the large number of Water-type species in the games.

Pokémon anime

Squirtle as featured in the Pokémon anime.

For some time, Ash Ketchum had a Squirtle on his team. Previously abandoned by another trainer, it had joined up with four other Squirtle to form a criminal gang called the Squirtle Squad (Zenigame-gundan), breaking with the “cute” image pervading the popular perception of this Pokémon. However, the Squirtle Squad were mostly harmless, playing pranks rather than actually harming people. When the Squirtle Squad wound up saving a nearby town from a forest fire (after a vain attempt from Meowth to make them turn to evil by claiming that Team Rocket and Ash were his “pets”), the Squirtle Squad became the firefighting Pokémon of the town – without their leader, however, as it had decided to go with Ash. Squirtle accompanied Ash for much of his journey through Kanto, the Orange Islands, and parts of Johto before rejoining the Squirtle Squad, whose confidence and firefighting prowess had greatly diminished without a leader. As its trainer loyalties lie clearly with Ash, it returned to battle at Ash’s side briefly in the Johto League Silver Conference, accompanied by Officer Jenny.

Ash’s Squirtle has a “tough guy” personality, and sometimes wears a pair of dark glasses (particularly in its capacity as the Squirtle Squad’s leader) which at other times are apparently hidden inside its shell. Squirtle is often characterised as a “act first and think later” character (contrasting with its friends Pikachu and Bulbasaur). Its Water Gun attack is quick and precise, often hitting the same place on a target with consecutive attacks, even if it is upside-down in mid-air. Its Skull Bash attack turns its whole body into a projectile, and is used as a convenient means of escape should it wind up inverted. Squirtle’s best friend is Ash’s Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur was the most reluctant to say goodbye to Squirtle when it left to rejoin the Squirtle Squad, but even as they followed their separate paths their friendship never died.

Another Squirtle is the protagonist of the half-hour animated special, "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out Of The Gate!". Not technically a Pokémon, this Squirtle is actually a human who, for unknown reasons, has been turned into a Pokemon. He is found by a Charmander and made part of the Pokemon Rescue team, Team Go-Getters. Despite his lack of knowledge about being a Pokemon, Squirtle is more than happy to be part of the team. At first, his attempts to use the Water Gun attack resulted in the much weaker Bubble attack; eventually, however, he is able to use the Water Gun successfully to defeat a vicious Skarmory.
