Pokemon Fan turns Squirtle into a knight
Redditors went out of their way to name a fancy new title for Squirtle's knight form, including Sir Squirt and War Turtle. A fan of the illustration thought the turtle knight would fit in a hypothetical Mystery Dungeon game set in the Middle Ages, where Pokémon would have different classes. The Water type is certainly a fan favorite, so much so that fans are convinced that Squirtle should be the water starter in the upcoming Pokemon Legends: ZA.
Squirtle was first introduced in Generation 1, hailing from the Kanto region, and the little turtle evolves into Wartortle at level 16 and Blastoise at level 36. Squirtle and its evolution are relatively easy to obtain in Pokemon Scarlet and Violetand each stage creates a formidable combat opponent with various abilities, including Torrent and Rain Dish. The Water type was one of three original starters along with Charmander and Bulbasaur, at the beginning of Pokemon Red, Green, Blue, Fire redand Leaf green.
