>>39103174>We're talking about why Squirtle, not Wartortle.It is based on the same myth of the minogame, which is why its Shiny shell's color is green.
So it does have a "deep origin", which is swirly tail connects to.
In addition, Squirtle is also meant to represent one of the three most common types of non-mammalian, non-avian pets, which Bulbasaur and Charmader also do.
https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/3/39/007Squirtle.pngIf you look here,Squirtle does have relatively simple limbs and appendages. Its mouth is shaped like a turtle's, though rather simply.
Its shell is detailed in both senses, though. You can see the creases which provide depth, and the pattern is made of irregular but defined shapes.
It's certainly far from the best design of Kanto and not representative of what it has to offer, but is no worse than Ducklett, which I claim is typical of its region.
>Yeah, neither is Ducklett.No, Ducklett is a duck.
>Glad you aren't defending Psyduck's simplicityPsyduck is a platypus, but yes it is simple.
>I like a retard who knows when to shut up. Quit while you're behind.You think you're ahead? Your Ducklett respose reproved nothing. I simply don't waste my time trying to drill too deeply into the feeble-minded. You all never learn and flaunt your ignorance.
