Bulbasaur is a lizard-like creature with a large bulb on its back; the bulb grows with the Pokmon and contains energy that the Pokmon can use up when necessary, similar to a camel storing fat in its hump. Name origin - Fushigidane probably is a portmanteau of ふしぎ (fushigi - mystery) and たね (tane - seed).
Availability Bulbasaur appears as one of the starter Pokmon in Pokmon Red and Blue and their enhanced remakes, Pokmon FireRed and LeafGreen. It appears as a gift Pokmon in Pokmon Yellow. Bulbasaur does not appear in Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, or Sapphire. Bulbasaur also appears in the Nintendo 64 games Hey You, Pikachu! and Pokmon Snap. Anime Appearances Various Bulbasaurs have been seen in the anime, however, only two are major characters. The first of which is one of Ash Ketchum's team members, and the second being one of May's team members. Ash's Bulbasaur is the Pokmon that Ash has had for the longest outside of Pikachu. Like many other Pokmon in the anime, Bulbasaur's gender is unknown, but is implied to be male. Bulbasaur typically has a calm attitude, rarely being provoked. This was in contrast to its teammate Squirtle, which tended to do things without thinking things through. Before joining Ash's team, Bulbasaur used to take care of abandoned Pokmon with a girl named Melanie. It was unclear whether Bulbasaur was itself abandoned, but it was established that Melanie was not its trainer, enabling Ash to catch it after a battle. Originally, Bulbasur was pessimistic about Ash's loyalties to his team. When Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Squirtle, and Charmander are separated from Ash and company, Bulbasaur was often the one that insisted on Ash having abandoned them, with Charmander and Pikachu providing more optimistic outlooks. However, after that episode, Bulbasaur's loyalties have started to improve, and ironically, Bulbasaur was one of Ash's most loyal Pokmon while Charmeleon (and later, Charizard) frequently disobeyed him. Bulbasaur would remain on Ash's active roster for much of Pocket Monsters, leaving it in Professor Oak's lab after Pokmon there started fighting among themselves. Bulbasaur was the only Pokmon able to break up these fights, and these fights would often resume if Bulbasaur leaves the lab. After leaving Ash's active roster, Bulbasaur appeared as a main character in Housoukyoku, and made one brief appearance in Advanced Generation after May acquires a Bulbasaur of her own. Like Pikachu, Bulbasaur had decided it would be best if it does not evolve. Although this decision was not accepted by other Bulbasaurs (and evolved forms therein), it has been a decision that others have come to accept. Bulbasaur has also shown traits not unlike those of Fighting-typed Pokmon in one episode, perhaps due to its calm nature. Interestingly, Bulbasaur is the only member of Ash's team that has not defeated a single Pokmon in Ash's League tournaments, and it is the only one of Ash's Pocket Monsters team members (outside of Pikachu) to appear in Advanced Generation. May befriended one, which now travels with her. External links
