... I love how all of them have their scientific names written except for the Zeni Kame which is called "Squirtle". Someone goofed there!
(By the way, the Pokémon known as Squirtle is "Zenigame" in Japanese.)

Actually the picture says "zenigame", as well as in the others: "midorigame", "semaruhakogame", "aoumigame", and "akaumigame". Zenigame could be translated as "pond turtle" but there's no information on the scientific name.
But having realistic turtle being out of their shell... That's more scary than exciting. They're gonna die.

Huh, I didn't look that closely at the picture. Interesting that it has "game" for the turtles when the trailer has "kame" for each of them (in both kana and romaji).
And either way, while "Zenigame" is a fine descriptor for that turtle, it doesn't make it the same as the Pokémon Zenigame, and the word "Squirtle" doesn't mean anything other than the Pokémon. It's like if someone were to translate "Hitokage" as "Charmander" instead of "Salamander" outside of a Pokémon context.

Everyone of these turtles had a dream about being Gamera.
