Name Origin
Squirtle's name is a combination of "squirt" and "turtle." Its Japanese name, Zenigame, shall be translated soon. "Kame" is the Japanese word for "turtle". (In Japanese, the consonant at the beginning of a word often "hardens" when it is used as the second part of a compound word; for example, "kami", meaning "paper", changes its K to a G in "origami".)
In Pokmon Red/Blue, Squirtle is one of the starter Pokmon, together with Bulbasaur and Charmander.
In Pokmon Yellow, Squirtle is not a starter; rather, it's obtained in Vermillion City. In Pokmon Gold/Silver/Crystal, Squirtle must be obtained through trading with another cartridge. In Pokmon Sapphire/Ruby, Squirtle is not available at all.
Squirtle also appears in the Nintendo 64 game Pokmon Snap.
Squirtle is vulnerable to Grass and Electric, and strong against Fire, Water, Ice and Steel.Availability
