>>41794713Now before we close off the kanto starters i should state the specific kind of turtle squirtle is, is the japanese pod turtle. Now onto the big blue boy himself! Blastoise. Now blastoise doesn't have much of a basis, they took a tank and combined it with a tortoise, but the holes its canons come out of are possibly based on the muscle system of a clam/oyster which earned it the shelfish species. The canons themselves are based on pressurized water pumps which are used in the creation of difficult to sculpt metals rather than lazers. Yes it is entirely possible to cut through steel with water its dex entries aren't that far off.
