I found some old pokemon world magazines recently and it made me remember seeing something that looked like turtwig in one of the issues pre-DP in the design a monster section. It was the monster of the month for that issue, and the description mentioned the shell being made of dirt.

I don’t remember the exact issue, but I remember the other pokemon on the page. The second one looked like a teardrop with a face, and the third was just a drawing of renamon and its name was something like renastorm. Anyone know anything about this?
