I don't think I've ever met anyone who really dislikes Blastoise.
Is it neutrality or is it universal adoration?

I am still disappointed he was so meh online until recently. I also think he should have had a unique hydro pump animation where it actually fires out of the cannons.

I find it concerning he's allowed to use weaponized cannons in a Pokemon match.

Who else has built a weapon-themed team before? I remember having Blastoise, Farfetch'd, Marowak, and Kingler (Crabhammer).

It's pretty unremarkable in the sea (HA!) of bulky water types.

Why the hell are water types so bulky anyway?

It leaves a rather poor impression in gen 1, I feel, and just never does anything after to make me re-evaluate it.

Even its Mega looks fucking stupid.

My first playthrough of Gen 1 was ruined when my brother accidentally overwrote my save. Id been playing with Charmander, but I decided to pick Squirtle on the second run and Im glad I did. Blastoise is my favorite Gen 1 starter.

Meanwhile Hitmonchan's either wearing gloves to be gracious or Arceus was laughing it up that day and gave him gloves for hands.

This sounds right but I don't like the idea of him resisting grass attacks so I'm against it. He has two of them so maybe they could dig up that Mega Kangaskhan ability and let him hit twice in one turn with ice beam and flash cannon and other moves like that. That could be a laugh.

He wouldn't. If a Duel Type has a weakness and a resistance the two cancel each other out.

Is his arms supposed to be that long? He looks a lot less bulky than in the official media.

I don't want any part in the creation of a Blastoise that doesn't explode the second a Venusaur looks at him funny.
That's not even bringing up the poison immunity steel typing would give him.

rated Pokmon.
Well, I was gonna say something about the limbs looking weird, but I've just seen Blastoise deliberately close the gap and punch someone instead of using his shoulder cannons.
And then do a cartwheel.

Yep, one of the Pokes I was forgetting that was in my team. Also can't remember if I had a sixth one.

I love that big turtle. The mega evolution and g-string big pokball stuff recently doesn't interest me, but I always loved Charizard and Blastoise from the Gen 1 starters. I loved the anim as well so seeing Blastoise in a few episodes just confirmed that it's my second-favourite Pokmon.

My favourite is Gengar. I actually have a Gengar tattoo.

I like the design, but I'd probably pick the Charmander line over it.

That's another one. I never hear anyone express dislike for Gengar.
I'm sure if I looked around I could find some people who were sick of overexposure online, but that's not really the same.

Blastoise is the coolest original design

I dont understand the evolution from Wartortle to Blastoise. Why does a normal water turtle evolve and get some massive industrial looking water cannons coming out of their shell?
How do you know Squirtle and Wartortle didn't already have internal water cannons?
Maybe the evolution is less like water cannons inexplicably appearing and more like a hydra multiplying, becoming visible in the process.

If there's a more peak form of evolution than growing cannons out of your back, I have yet to see it.

Blas-tiss. Everybody says Blas-toyss which doesnt really make sense if its supposed to be a play on the word tortoise.
