How do you miss the point of the thread this hard?

Char + wizard = Charizard
Smegma + Cargo = Magcargo
Meowstic=meow+autistic
It's both squirt and squirrel. Obviously little kids in the 90s wouldn't know the deal with Squirtle's tail, so the localization plays on what most little American kids would see.
>>26982489
>turtles have tails
>>26982539

But not squirrel style like Squirtle

I disagreed with that.
Neither the name nor the tail has anything to do with squirrels.
It's squirt turtle.

>I am also retarded
Rotom = Motor backwards
>>26982725
Again, tell that to the mass majority of children who did interpret it as "Squirrel Turtle". It's pretty obvious that the localization is a pun on both, since they knew a lot of kids would assume "curly tail = squirrel".
