7 Squirtle

About the bead sprite:

846 Beads

Made the same night as Charmander and Bulbasaur, I was eager to get the starter set complete. Amazingly, I had enough browns to get this one done, but my blue selection could have been better. Similar to Venusaur, Squirtle's in game sprite had brown for the mouth's interior rather than red, and the same brown used again for eye color.

 

What my Fiancée calls this Pokemon:

Lil Blue Turtle

 

Facts & Trivia:

Statistically, Squirtle is the slowest Pokémon out of the three Kanto starters. Makes sense, right?

As a species, Squirtle has been trained the most of all Kanto starters by main anime Trainers, with Ash, May, and Gary each owning one.

Squirtle's family is the only Pokémon family that can learn Bubble and cannot learn BubbleBeam, except in Generation I, where BubbleBeam was a TM. Squirtle is a combination of "turtle", for its turtle-like appearance, and "squirt", which can mean either a verb as in to spray water, or a noun as in a nickname for someone who is tiny in comparison to others. It could also derive from "squirrel", referring to its bushy tail.
