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 Pok?on Red/Blue, Squirtle is one of the starter Pok?on, together with Bulbasaur and Charmander.
In Pok?on Yellow, Squirtle is not a starter; rather, it's obtained in Vermillion City. In Pok?on Gold/Silver/Crystal, Squirtle must be obtained through trading with another cartridge. In Pok?on Sapphire/Ruby, Squirtle is not available at all.
Squirtle also appears in the Nintendo 64 game Pok?on Snap.
Squirtle is vulnerable to Grass and Electric, and strong against Fire, Water, Ice and Steel.Availability
