Note based on: Windows version

Why in Database: Turtle elements appear in this famous game in two forms, one of which is an easy-to-miss Easter egg.

The first turtle element is a sea turtle that can be found while swimming – in the screenshots below, it is found in the waters at the San Fierro airport and at the water dam. It has no swimming animation, which makes its look quite artificial in the water.

The second element, the mentioned Easter Egg, is a banner in Los Santos (the screen shows a minimap, so someone who plays it can easily find out where it is exactly), the “Juguetes Regalos” shop, where you can see Ash and two Pokemon, Pikachu and Squirtle. In the game, the banner has distorted proportions, it is too stretched in width, so the turtle is not immediately visible.
