this article makes critical claims about the Pokemon's popularity, why it's well-known, and analyzes the character's role in the game (akin to Mario#Abilities or the plethora of articles on :Category:Chess openings|Chess openings), this is all referenced to a third-party publication about Pokemon as a whole that devoted three pages to Blastoise which meets 's definition of ''significant coverage'', "more than trivial, but less than exclusive", and supported with details from third-party guides (now). Additionally, throwing the phrase "in-universe" in front of ''guide'' does not somehow make it less reliable according to , since these guides are not describing the games as if the pokemon world is a real place that claim is just patently false. --&#65279
