Squirtle

Squirtle is a water-type Pokémon, and a starter in Pokémon Red & Blue Version. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Squirtle is the first Pokémon to appear on the Poké Floats stage, and has a Trophy.

It will also be a playable character in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, it takes commands from the Pokémon Trainer, who is the real mastermind behind Squirtle's actions. The other two Pokémon used by Pokémon Trainer are Ivysaur and Charizard. When the Pokémon Trainer uses Pokémon Change, he returns Squirtle, and sends out Ivysaur next. It is likely that Squirtle is the lightest of the group.

Like all Pokémon of the Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle will share the damage meter with the other Pokémon, and will have a special stat, the stamina. It is there to regulate the Pokémon changes. When the player changes Pokémon rarely or too often, the stamina of the Pokémon will run low. Squirtle has a tequenique, where upon jumping at a wall, he will stick to it. From there, the player can put any attack command or jump, to get off the wall.

In the Subspace Emissary, the Pokémon Trainer will start out with only Squirtle. Eventually, he will earn Ivysaur and Charizard.

Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Melee
''Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.''

Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
''A Tiny Turtle Pokémon. In times of danger, it pulls its arms and legs inside its shell to protect itself from enemy attacks. When it conceals its neck, it also shoots a powerful stream of water from its mouth. Its shell not only protects its body, it also reduces water friction when it's in the water. When it levels up, it evolves into Wartortle.''
