mood: the third starter pokemon that doesn’t get picked
bulbasaur never did anything to deserve this kind of slander
Bulbasaur sucked because Brock’s rock gym was first.
…what? But Bulbasaur has an advantage there. And at the next two gyms. Are you being sarcastic?
Bulbasaurs was the best pokemon because it has an advantage against the first 4 gyms with it’s poison typing super effective against grass. It literally can single-handedly get you through half the game with ease
Except back then, every grass type except Tangela was part poison, so that’s the only one that would’ve been weak to poison
But even back then Poison types were immune to being poisoned, which was much more helpful in Gen 1 with its lingering effects. That being said, in Gen 1 Venusaur couldn’t learn Poison type moves aside from Poisonpowder and Toxic, so the point is moot anyway.
