Due to special coding in place in the article, the artwork featured on this article will change every year on February 27 and September 30 in celebration of the releases of Red and Green in Japan, and Red and Blue in the United States. This will only affect the artwork shown in the infobox. This changes every year, so when the time comes, here to return to the page and change the display. |

I highly doubt that's true. The attack move is "Hydro Cannon" so I believe cannon is where the attack comes from. TheBlazikenMaster 23:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree as well. They don't design the sprites based off of what moves can be used. Otherwise "OMG LOOK AT HITMONLEE IT CAN LEARN KICKING MOVES BECAUSE IT'S KICKING IN THE SPRITE!" Its mouth is open, and Hydro Cannon just happens to be coming from that point. There's no special connection. TTEchidna 23:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have never seen Blastoise using its mouth for Hydro Pump in the anime. But you're right I know you are, I was just unsure if it was good trivia or not so I asked. TheBlazikenMaster 23:38, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- I know you didn't think of it before (me included), but it happened to me once and THEN I realized it. I think the name "Hydro Cannon" is correct, but I think it's to emphatize that is a move EXCLUSIVE to Blastoise, as blastoise is the only Water-type Pokémon with Cannons (remember that Blastoise was the only Pokémon able to learn it).
- I've uploaded a screenshot of it that clearly shows what I've said (although for some reason it does not appear yet). The Image is here
- I know it's weird that a move called "Cannon" is shot from its mouth instead, but do it for yourselves and trade to Hoenn-based games and it's the same thing, the attack comes out from its mouth! (I don't think it's a coincidence) hfc2X 00:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- That image doesn't prove anything, maybe it appears to you that it's doing it from its mouth, but it's just a sprite, and it looks that way. What I'd like to see is examples of Blastoise using its mouth in the anime. TheBlazikenMaster 00:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- The anime will prove you nothing, as there Hydro Cannon does not exist. I know it's just a sprite, but it makes a big coincidence if you look at the attack in ALL Gen III games. I'm not saying that the attack will always come from its mouth, but in GBA games it does.
- In Colosseun and XD, Hydro Cannon DOES come out from the cannons, and there you have another thing not shown in the anime... In the anime, Blastoise ALWAYS has its cannons outside its shell, but in the games, the cannons only come out to use Hydro Pump or Hydro Cannon, so don't rely on the anime to prove anything (remember that games DID come out much before the anime, so they still make the rules). hfc2X 00:48, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Actually Gary did order Blastoise to use Hydro Cannon in one of the D/P episodes, but I get your point and still think it only looks that way. TheBlazikenMaster 01:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, if we're going to use sprites for any moves of any kind, it should be 3-D games, because they atleast TRY to make the moves look realistic (PBR's contact moves actually making contact was a big jump, imo). Sk8torchic 14:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
- I saw the bit about Exclusivly to Blastoise and got lost a bit. Hydro Cannon is exclusive to all Water Starters, not just Blastoise. The cannons in its shell have always been there for decoration purpose IMO. Besdies that the Cannon signifies the pressure for the attack. Look at it this way, Water Gun is the weakest only doing squirt like damage, Hydropump is like using a hose, Hydro Cannon is using a pressure washer. Also the bit about Blastoise always having its cannons out in the Anime is wrong, the cannons only appeared when it was ready to fire off one of its water attacks. I know the Elemental Hyperbeam attacks were issued out in the remake of Red and Blue games but if you brought over any of the other Water starters you can get Hydro Cannon with them. I agree fully with the They don't design Pokemon for certain moves bit though. Xanhawk 22:27 Dec. 21, 2008
Linking moves
Hello everyone, I am kinda new on this Bulbapedia thing, so I would appreciate it if someone can lend me a helping hand on how to link moves, I am having problems with the thing, sorry if I mess up anything.--Daniel's Raichu 12:06, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- This isn't the best place to ask, but to link to a move article write {{m|Move name}}. —darklordtrom 11:30, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
OK, Thanks for the help. --Daniel's Raichu 09:59, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Red and Green
Why are we using the Blastoise picture from Red and Green? Why not FireRed and LeafGreen. (Holonboy 17:32, 1 September 2010 (UTC))
Gamera
For Blastoise's origin, isn't he based off Gamera (giant turtle in Japanese monster movies)too?- unsigned comment from Pialga92 (talk • contribs)
- Other than being a turtle, Blastoise and Gamera share NO similarities whatsoever. - 050294 23:48, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
Sea Turtle and Tortoise?!
Blastoise is clearly a freshwater turtle.Bennell 15:01, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Shell
In the RBY sprites, the box around Blastoise's cannons looked more like raised "flaps" of the shell, but in the official art and in later sprites this was fixed. Could that be added in the trivia section, perhaps worded more eloquently? Sphericalice (talk) 20:34, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Blastoise Feet
I notice that Blastoise claws on its feet changing depending on the source. Some have 2 one the front, some have 3. I was wondering if this was something we should add ~Bobo (talk) 04:31, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
