It's both squirt and squirrel. Obviously little kids in the 90s wouldn't know the deal with Squirtle's tail, so the localization plays on what most little American kids would see.

I disagreed with that.
Neither the name nor the tail has anything to do with squirrels.
It's squirt turtle.

Rotom = Motor backwards

>>26982725
Again, tell that to the mass majority of children who did interpret it as "Squirrel Turtle". It's pretty obvious that the localization is a pun on both, since they knew a lot of kids would assume "curly tail = squirrel".
