@@ribor1 Maybe it's not, but it still doesn't compare to it's glory days it had experienced when Ash first caught it. The main reason why Torterra never really had any major wins after evolving is because it was still focused on trying to be fast rather than fully adopt a more defensive battling style like it was taught to by Paul's Torterra after it evolved. I feel this can be best seen when Ash used it to battle Palmer's Rhyperior as a Grotle, since after it's opponent shrugged off a super effective razor leaf, Ash had it focus on using rock climb primarily, and while it DID put up quite a fight, it's reliance on a move that did resisted damage ultimately lead to it being overpowered and defeated by rock wrecker in the end. It did indeed go up against a number of strong opponents after evolving, but I personally feel that it would've faired far better in many of those fights if it had embraced using a more defensive approach, of which is most notably proven when it fought Candice's Sneasel and managed to beat it, which is also notable for being it's most impressive victory it got after it evolved

I remember a very old interview from the first head executive of the original anime, Kanto saga that the writers were very sad that they had to let go of Pidgeot because they had to make room for Ash's new flying type Pokémon from gen 2 aka Noctowl. The direct order from Nintendo was to let go of Ash's old team and that everyone in the creative team was too attached to all the Pokémon in Ash's team: especially the original gang of four, all four starter Pokémon. Then they found the solutions of leaving Squirtle as a fire brigade member, Charizard in Charicific valley and Bulbasaur as an ambassador at professor Oaks lab.

He also won half of his badges losing to the gym leader, but doing something nice that made them like him... A few years ago I decided to rewatch Digimon and was amazed by how well it hold up. I tried to the same with Pokémon and found it unbearable, the first season tells the same story over and over again, all they do is introduce a different Pokémon each episode. I mean, even Pokémon moves, Ash, Brock and Misty pretty much only teach their parties tackle and one other move.

Bulbasaur the realest. One Pokémon that I always resonated with the most because it resembled the qualities that you want in yourself and people in general. Loyal, protective, loving, territorial. I feel a lot of people who watch Pokémon be sleeping on Bulbasaur. Hella potential, fr. If he was a real life pet nowadays in this world, you’ll probably become a bit anti-social since it’s the all-in-one friend you need and have lol. It’s the Earthy qualities of it that draws me. Green was always and still to this day the first I ever gravitated towards and it became my favorite color, similarly to how Bulbasaur became the first Pokémon I really connected with in a personal way. I agree with you tho, it is an amazing Pokémon 🦖🐸🌱🍃💚

Bulbasaur is my all-time favorite Pokémon, and Ash's Bulbasaur is one of the reasons why! Their personal story is one of the best of Ash's Pokémon! Starting from a hardened protector to a versatile battler and finally to a compassionate, empathetic, and strong mentor and leader. Bulbasaur's kindness and protectiveness are some of his best attributes. I wholeheartedly agree with you that if Oak did not need Bulbasaur to keep the peace at the lab, Ash would have kept never left them. I like to think that Bulbasaur would have become a permanent member of Ash's team and even stay out of his Poke-ball like Pikachu! I wonder how different the series would have been if Bulbasaur became a permanent member of the team and fought alongside Ash and his Hoein, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alolan, and Journey teams!

Bulbasaur is very likable and had a lovely development. I think it's great that some writers understood that just like with Pikachu, some Pokémon can be impressive without feeling the need of physical change. Bulbasaur was steadfast and pretty much had the heart of a leader finalizing his arc as the guardian of the Pokémon at Oak's lab. Definitely a respectable character in my opinion.

Amazing! Thanks for covering this so concisely! Bulbasaur has always been my #1 Pokemon ever since I was first introduced to Pokemon when I was a little kid, whenever anyone asks what my favourite Pokemon is it's always been Bulbasaur, but I stopped watching the series a little after the Indigo League waaaay back in the day, it's good to know that Ash hasn't given Bulbasaur away like he's done with so many Pokemon before and it's developed a decent history even if it's still hanging out in Oak's Lab from time to time.

I do love the final battle with Brandon, and also losing Charizard, partially due to arrogance, mostly do to getting too carried away and forgetting type immunities. Charizard was kind of shown as Ash’s strongest Pokémon at the time (Pikachu didn’t really have the legendary killing legacy it has now, plus Charizard was the only one who took out a legendary at the time). Forcing Ash to use all his unevolved starter mons. Was cool seeing Ash build up a comeback with his Pokémon, especially Bulbasaur avenging Charizard with taking out Dusclops, Squirtle taking out Ninjask, and Bulbasaur avenging Squirtle with getting a double knock out against the Solrock who took out Ash’s Squirtle, and Pikachu being the one to take out the final Pokémon, Regice was perfect. Honestly it Ash ever left the Pokémon Anime before Gen 8 and the World Coorination Series. That might have been the best time to switch protagonists in between Seasons, with Ash actually accepting the offer to become a Frontier Brain.

I liked Ash’s Bulbasaur, it had a strong potential in battle. Didn’t win every battle but it was still strong. It didn’t want to evolve and wanted to stay just the way it was, Pikachu didn’t evolve and overtime became one of Ash’s strongest Pokémon along with Krookodile, Sceptile, Dragonite, Infernape and Lucario. Since the Jotho saga, Bulbasuar has been staying at Oak’s lab to be the ambassador to settle the disputes between other grass types but still called it for its help in battle at that time. It made friends with May’s Bulbasaur who later evolved into Venusaur. The last battle it did was the 4 on 4 battle with the pyramid brain Brandon back in the battle frontier saga. The moves it used was tackle, sleep powder, vine whip, and solar beam. I remember it battling against Jackson’s Meganium that ended in a tie, they became rivals after a fight in the schoolyard. But thanks to Gary and Harrison saying that they were sparring and testing their skill, it was a real relief. Cause if their Pokémon were caught fighting, they would’ve lost points or got disqualified.

Ngl looking back at it it's definitely a good thing both Ash's Bulbasaur and Squirtle didn't evolve both their final evolutions are incredibly bulky and they both had a speedy fighting style in the anime so they very likely could've ended up like his torterra years later and had to adapt to their new build and we know how bad it was for torterra

Back then, when Bulbasaur was about to evolve, there was a voting poll in Japan because writers didn't know if they wanted Bulbasaur to evolve or not. They thought that Ivysaur would be ok but the people from Japan voted several months before the episode "Bulbasaur and the secret garden" aired and the voting results were 95% wanted Bulbasaur to stay at its base form because the people loved it for what it is hence the reason that the writers gave emphasis on Bulbasaur's personality from that episode and onwards. The other 5% was Ivysaur. Venusaur didn't get a single vote. In general Venusaur is detasted in Japan in comparison to Charizard and Blastoise. If I find those voting results I will send them to you professor Silver so you can show them.
