"Wartortle is overshadowed by Blastoise way too much"

In design wise I mean, not competitive (although Wartortle isn’t a horrible NFE mon). Wartortle is a great progression of Squirtle adding ears, a more complex tail, changing the colour from a cyan to indigo and some more stuff. It’s got an interesting inspiration being the Minogame which is a turtle that lived for 10000 years and grew a seaweed tail in Japanese legends. Wartortle looks like a gateway to an amazingly designed elderly turtle of the deep that packs a punch. But instead we got Blastoise. I don’t hate Blastoise but its cannons are random and weird and it removes the things that made Wartortle so interesting. It feels like it was ripped from another similar line... because it was! If you didn’t know in the red and green beta Wartortle had a different evolution that kept the tail and ears and actually expanded on them. And Blastoise was part of a two stage line with a cute baby Blastoise that looks like it would gain cannons.Wow this was longer then I expected via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3DqHt7Z
