Oshawott

Oshawott (Japanese:ミジュマル Mijumaru) is a -type Starter Pokémon introduced in Generation V, along with Tepig and Snivy. Its classification is the Sea Otter Pokemon. It has the ability Torrent like all of the previous -type starters. It evolves into Dewott from level 17 onwards.

Appearance
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Oshawott’s eyes are large, dark, and oval in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval tilted to the side. Oshawott also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines or representing freckles, and light blue floats composing a “collar” around its neck. Oshawott’s torso is light blue, and decorated with a cream color seashell feature in the center that it can remove from it and use it as a boomerang-like weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Oshawott also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark, almost beaver-like dark blue tail. It looks like an otter giving it the name sea otter Pokemon

Trivia

 * Like all the other water type starters, except Mudkip, Oshawott walks on two feet.
 * Oshawott is the first Water-type starter Pokémon to be based on a mammal as well as the first mammalian starter not to be of the Fire-type.
 * Oshawott is the fourth mammalian starter: first (Cyndaquil), second (Chimchar), and third (Tepig).
 * Its Japanese name may be derived from 水 mizu, water or 未熟 mijuku, naive and 丸 maru, round.
 * It appears to be a remake of Squirtle.
 * An Oshawott appeared in BW003 in the the 'Unova Saga' and was caught by Ash.
 * In a BW Trailer on September 2, 2010 it is confirmed that Ash catches an Oshawott and uses it against Cilan's Pansage.
 * Oshawott can and will remove and attack or defend with its shell.
 * Oshawott's name might come from the misspelling of the beginning of the word ocean for "Osha", as well as water and otter for the end of its' name, "wott".
 * The English dub of the anime has confirmed that the pronunciation of the O in its' name is in fact "Aw" and not "Oh". How this will affect the origin of its name is unknown.
 * Another possiblity for Oshawott's name origin is from the words Otter and Wash. By swapping the consonant sounds within each word to get Osher and Watt, then altering the spelling while keeping the same sounds gives Ohsawott.
 * The English Dub voice actor is Pokemon Voice veteran Lisa Ortiz.
