Intro Trivia[]
|
Bulbasaur has received updated trivia and/or battle strategy. The updated trivia and/or battle strategy can be found here. |
- Bulbasaur's name comes from "Bulb", due to the bulb growing on its back, and "Dinosaur".
- The exact contents of Bulbasaur's bulb are unknown, but vines, leaves, seeds, powders, and scents have all come from it.
- It grows into a large flower as it evolves.
- The Pokédex states that the bulb is planted on its back upon birth. It is unknown who plants it.
- Bulbasaur somewhat resembles a Dicynodon.
- Bulbasaur can't be traded on the GTS, because the "sau" part of the name translates to a German insult.
Pokemon... Behind the Balls[]
- The original Pokémon games used a "Show, Don't Tell" approach to difficulty selection.
- The three starters each signify a different difficulty level:
- Bulbasaur is considered "Easy Mode" due to its advantage over the first two gyms, and its resistance to the third gym.
- Squirtle is considered "Medium Mode" due to its advantage over the first gym and the second gym's resistance to it.
- Charmander is considered "Hard Mode" due to its weakness to the first two gyms.
- Blue receiving the starter strong against you promotes the player to pick up various Pokémon, rather than rely on the starter.
