Squirtle is one of the cutest Pokemon out there. The original water-type starter, this lovable little turtle's final evolved form was the mascot of the original Pokemon Blue Version, which, at least in the English-speaking world, was one of the original Pokemon games. For many of us, the creature was our very first Pokemon.

That kind of legacy is worth celebrating. How, you might ask? With merch, of course! If you or someone you know a✃ppreciates this monster as much as we do, these products just might be of interest to you.

Superb Squirtle Gift Ideas For Anyone In Your Squirtle Squad

Squirtle has a distinct personality, at least in the original Pokemon anime. Of Ash's Pokemon, Squirtle is the cheeky, slightly rebellious one, the ones whose introductory episode gives it the role of a minor antagonist wearing an iconic pair of sunglasses. With a single, cheeky wink, this plush manages to capture a bit of that character, while also, of course, reflecting the monster's iconic in-game design.

Squirtle's first appearance in the Pokemon anime was in the episode which, in English, was titled "Here Comes the Squirtle Squad." In it, Ash and his friends encountered a delightful group of prankster Squirtles who wore sunglasses. Most of them wore round ones, but the leader set himself apart by wearing triangular shades.

Though this design is sadly not a replica of either, the juxtaposition of Squirtle and sunglasses cannot help but evoke that episode, and the now-nostalgic sense of nineties coolness it embodied. Though their size means they're not always as convenient as we might like, they're still an excellent product.

T-shirts are one of the most important kinds of merch. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:We've covered Pokemon t-shirts before, but this list wouldn't be complete without a few of its own, starting with this cool schematic design. Often, the best merch is merch that appears to come from inside a universe, and that applies here because this image could've been ripped right out of a Pokedex.

This simple depiction of Squirtle in💟 a schematic style allows your chosen backgroun🙈d color to remain dominant. Our favorite is the navy blue, which compliments the design well while still keeping it extremely visible.

Most Pokemon designs specialize in being either cute or cool. One of Squirtle's best features is the fact that he's able to pull off both of those things in a way that not a lot of Pokemon accomplish (though water-type starters, in particular, are often the best at it). Thus, while our last shirt made Squirtle look really cool, here's one that makes him cute with a baby-like pose and adorable wink.

The ten background colors in which this shirt is available support the cute aesthetic. Our favorites are the ba🔯by blue and pink, 🔯for how well they compliment and contrast the design respectively, but all of them look good.

The style of hat Americans tend to call a baseball cap has been a part of Pokemon since the beginning, featuring prominently in the design of both the game's original protagonist (Red) and the anime's (Ash). This is probably a major reason why 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:such products are a common kind of Pokemon m﷽erch, including someౠ designed to celebr♉ate the star of this article.

With solid colors, this cap stands ready to protect your eyes during your Pokemon journey. Its back bears Squirtle's pokedex number in a style that calls to mind the way baseball player's numbers are often shown.

As mentioned above, the best merch is often that which appears to be something from a universe. This most commonly takes the form of memorabilia, but it can also apply to apparel that resembles a part of a creature's body. That's very much what this is.

It's common enough to find a beanie with a character's face on it, but this works especially well with Squirtle, whose bald, round head allows for this beanie's simple design to genuinely resemble our lovable little turtle.

From Toynk Toys, a company responsible for a lot of cool merch we've showcased in the past, comes a simple bit of jewelry that gets its Pokemon theme simply by featuring our favorite blue turtle at the end of its silver-tone chain. It's a particularly nice depiction of him, too. One of the better ones on a list filled with good designs. He's posed very well, feet in motion and arms wide as if he's about to run up and hug you.

Most of the products we've featured here have focused on the water turtle himself, and we haven't made much attempt to showcase the rest of his evolutionary line. This is, for the most part, intentional, as this list is about Squirtle, not Blastoise.

However, a Pokemon's evolutionary potential is a part of them. That's especially true with more complicated cases like Eevee, but it's true even here, and, to showcase that potential, we have this wallet, whose three different scenes showcase each of the forms your cute little turtle will ultimately take as you train him up into a powerful fighting Pokemon.

FAQ

Is Squirtle better than Charmander?

The starter Pokemon in any given region have a rock-paper-scissors relationship, which allows the game's rival characters to always give themselves an advantage against the player. Squirtle's water has an elemental advantage against Charmander's fire. This doesn't make Squirtle better overall, though it does give him the edge in a direct confrontation between them.

What is the Squirtle Squad backstory?

In the Pokemon anime series, there was a "Squirtle Squad" causing havoc for nearby people. It was started by an individual Squirtle who didn't trust humans and formed a squad of like-minded Squirtles to watch each other's backs. Ash, after saving this Squirtle's life, later convinced him to join his team of Pokemon.
