Blastoise

Calcukage

Awesome Asian
this has been bothering me for years and i wonder if anyone could come up with a good reason for blastoise to have guns. i mean why does he/she have guns? i know that they are used to shoot water so he/she can defend him/herself but how do you evolve and get a cannon put in your shell
 
Umm. Same way a salamander evolves and grows wings. Same way a small fish evolves into a beautiful serpentine thing. Same way an elegant raptor evolves into an obese ugly lizard.

Evolution doesn't always make sense :/

agree what 100 percent with this..pokemon is suppose to be fictional you know
 
How can you wonder about this but ignore the fact Torterra grows a frikking tree and mountain on it's shell. Kadabra somehow gets a spoon, and Alakazam gets 2. Charmeleon grow extra limbs, which has never happend before in the history of life, ignoring the first prehistoric creatures. And Remoraid turns into a different animal alltogether.

I'd say the cannons aren't that weird. They could be modified lungs for all we know.
 
I guess can Blast=Blasters Thats the only thing I can think of :o
 
A snake changes from a viper to an elapid and triples in size.

But then its all pokemon. Don't take everything seriously. The idea of it all in the first place is completely illogical anyway.
 
Continuing what others have said:
Snorunt goes from an elf to a butt-ugly Ice Ball,
Machoke and Geodude grow more arms,
Dusclops gets a frikkin' mouth on it's belly,
and Magmortar gets cannons, too.

It's fiction. That's the point :p
 
Seriously, Hydro Pump should have been a Blastoise exclusive attack ;)
 
ok i understand all that stuff about evolutions and none of the other evolutions bother me i just want someone to make up a story about why blastoise gets steel cannons on his back when he evolves? how does shell evolve into steel? i dont get it and i need some work of fiction to help me sleep better
 
Dude, how you think we know? :s, is just the design they gave to it,and i believe it is one of the best designed pokemon in the first generation!.
 
He has no water tanks in his lungs like Squirtle

or does he?

Remember when that one trainer in Destiny Deoxys told his blastoise to use bubble? Well, how about that?
 
perhaps those cannons aren't steel?

mayby they are made of what the shell is, i dont know what a turtle shell is made of but more than likely i think those cannons are made of it. and since he is a tank mayby his shell is really hollow and full of water. and he probably fires the water from the cannons by putting fource in the hollow area by some sort od muscke that causes the water to go out to the only way it can. the cannons!

just like how dosaidon shoots rocks out of his arms. he uses musclea to expell the rocks. same for the water in blastoice.
 
i'm pretty sure blastoise's guns are made out of bone, arent they??
so that makes more sense than random weapons appearing on it.

and either way, its fictional and theres plenty weirder evolutions than this one.
 
I'm pretty sure the cannons are bone or the shell material. They are retractable, kinda like retractable claws, so they are natural defense mechanisms. As for why they look like cannons, the first gen of pokemon was meant for little kids that wouldn't take it seriously like me and some other folks. So the cannon shape is for comedic value, and if a blastoise were real I bet the cannons would be shaped differently.
