What
was the prevalent rationale for Squirtle over Blastoise? I know those
two are closer in popularity than Charmander and Charizard, but
Blastoise still had the game cover, was still the final
evolution, and was still (arguably?) the second-most sought after card
behind Charizard. I'm guessing it had to do with Squirtle's larger role in the cartoon, though I can't remember the show that vividly... --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/xiKRQ2F.gif |
"Squirtle is more popular in the anime." I think that was the rationale. --- http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o8250gifyd.gif http://img.imgcake.com/tumblrmb8ky9zpsk1qd3518o6250gifuv.gif |
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/66848334 Let's vote about the Squirtles and the Blastoises! --- ~Zen |
Squirtle is the one in Smash, too. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] |
People using the anime for anything other than maybe Pikachu what is wrong with you guys you saw Lucario just as well as I did --- sig |
All
of these tertiary things for Squirtle - Smash, anime - mean nothing
when Blastoise was a far bigger star of the games. Much more important. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Pokemon anime would matter in two instances. If Squirtle got a Squirtle Squad anime pic and if Blue got a Gary Oak pic. That's about it. --- Demyx is better than Axel. http://www.last.fm/user/crazydom |
KamikazePotato posted... If Blastoise was allowed a pic like that, then Red could get a pic like this Not gonna lie, I'd vote for the Blood Red Champion over everything but Squall and Mario I think. |
if pokemon anime matters let's get Todd Snap in http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Todd_Snap ok, he's not actually eligible (unless we convince Bacon) but he'd be better than N --- ~Zen |
Does
anyone REALLY care about the Squirtle Squad thing? I'm not going to
alter my vote for Squirtle based on a pair of shades. It's brought up
all the time but I don't it matters at all, really. --- Black Turtle did a pretty good job. |
Man, this board vote is going to be so sad, too. Poor Ramza. --- http://gifsoup.com/view/477513/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-1-o.gif http://gifsoup.com/view/477534/red-vs-blue-road-rage-part-2-o.gif |

It's brought up all the time but I don't it matters at all, really. Squirtle Squad pic could be the difference between me bracket-voting Dante and me voting for Squirtle o_O |
Karma Hunter posted... idk why you guys went for Squirtle over Blastoise. Blastoise is on the cover of Blue, like Charizard is on Red. He's badass as hell. I mean, it's not like we think Charizard is weaker than Charmander, right? Duh, because Blastoise wasn't in Brawl. --- RIP GrapefruitKing and Emporer_Kazbar. You will be missed. |

I mean, it's not like we think Charizard is weaker than Charmander, right? I really doubt that anyone would be foolish enough to take Charmander > Charizard if the former had made it into Brawl instead of the latter. Charizard's just more popular. --- sig |
The Real Truth posted... I always forget MvC3 exists and Dante was in it. where were you during EVO |
would you guys take Venusaur over Bulbasaur --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
Oh man, I was gonna vote Ramza but I just saw Squirtle's pic SO ADORABLE! I just want to pinch his cheeks. Hmmm, this is gonna be tough. Buttpants or adorable Pokemon --- The Great GameFAQs Character Battle IX contest: 34/39 pts NP: Dante > Laharl > Raz |
MoogleKupo141 posted... would you guys take Venusaur over Bulbasaur I thought Ivysaur would be the most popular. It was in Brawl. --- http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/8/22/2094c2de-bae8-4f5b-9f27-67eaff0aaeaf.jpg |
People using the anime for anything other than maybe Pikachu what is wrong with you guys you saw Lucario just as well as I did Really, Lucario's appearance in the late anime (movie) is comparable to Squirtle's appearance at the beginning? --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 32/38 Today's Picks: Lugia and Dante |
but Bulbasaur was in the anime doy --- For your SuperNiceDog. At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza |
I would definitely take Blastoise over Squirtle, but Bulbasaur vs. Venusaur.. I'd probably roll with Bulbasaur. |
Squirtle squad time. |

JC Denton could end up being the 4th weakest character in the contest (after Chester, SBD, and Caim). --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as SuperNiceDog, Guru Champ! |
Bad start for Squirtle, believe it or not. He's gonna bleed percentage all night. --- Chen Kenichi's #1 Fan (also Yoblazer) http://i.imgur.com/gdl8lcn.jpg |

-LusterSoldier- posted... JC Denton could end up being the 4th weakest character in the contest (after Chester, SBD, and Caim). Nah, Spring Breeze Dancin' will outdo JC Denton with his name alone. --- http://i848.photobucket.com/albums/ab48/Leonhart4/Squall.jpg |

Just wait until the Deus Ex fans see this --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 32/38 Today's Picks: Lugia and Dante |
Lol, Squirtle's character write up when you click on the results screen is pretty funny |
If Squirtle doesn't hold up to Cloud well (or if Dante doesn't), then Chester may have a challenger here. |
Guess the legendary Deus Ex fans can't resist the turtle. --- We are living our lives Abound with so much information |
Man I feel like a random pokemon could win a good number of Round 1 matches in this bracket. --- Currently Playing: Persona 3 FES Currently Reading: Nothing Currently Currently Watching: Dr. Who |
JC making dem percent gains. |
TheOneAboveAll posted... If Squirtle doesn't hold up to Cloud well (or if Dante doesn't), then Chester may have a challenger here. Denton is starting to recover a bit so Chester is way out of reach for now. |
VeryInsane posted... Man I feel like a random pokemon could win a good number of Round 1 matches in this bracket. It seems like Gamefaqs is just brainwashed to vote for whatever pokemon they see.

Man I feel like a random pokemon could win a good number of Round 1 matches in this bracket. To be fair Squirtle isn't a random Pokemon, now if someone like Voltorb was doing this we may have a problem --- BOP Results: http://www.freewebs.com/charmander6000/CB9%20BOP.xls Points: 32/38 Today's Picks: Lugia and Dante |
