Personality & Development: Ash's Squirtle: Reviewing the characterization of anime Po

I would have also liked for it to have experienced some kind of struggle like Turtwig had with Energy Ball or Oshawott did with Aqua Jet (this goes for every other Pokémon Ash had under his possession during Kanto, as well). I wouldn't have minded if it had evolved, either, since I'm a fan of Wartortle and because it would have possibly allowed for some development.
