GA status[edit]

Passed. Appropriate references, gives a good explanation of what the creature is, and has competent sections on what role was played in the video games. I'm somewhat dissapointed the article did not posess a charteristics section like others I'd noted of this type, though. This may be attributed to the data on the creature. -Zero^Talk 19:57, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It does, but it's merged with the lead ofr being a bit short. The Pokédex seems to say less about Squirtle than some others. Regards, —Cel es tianpower ^háblame 22:26, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How the hell did this pass and Combusken not? Wikipedia is against chickens! :O H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 22:28, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure; I didn't review Combusken. -Zero^Talk 04:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know, but it has about three times as many refs. H ig hway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 07:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some reviewers are harsher than others, and that's their perogative, I'm afraid. Regards, —Cel es tianpower ^háblame 07:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA removal[edit]

No source for name origin.
Only one source in video games section.
Its ability in R/B against Gym Leaders is irrelevant. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:15, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In the Design and charicteristics section, paragraph 2 states "However, host of the show Pokémon Talk claims that Squirtles is based on squirrels, his evidence being that he, "Loves Nuts."" This refences an unofficial YouTube series and should be removed. Time Vault (talk) 19:12, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TrademarkedTWOrantula: Are you still planning to do this review? CosXZ (talk) 00:49, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dang it. I may have bit more than I could chew here. I'd rather let this go, as this is kind of getting in the way of my life. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 01:06, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
