In the World of Pokémon, there lives a vast number and variety of amazing creatures to befriend and collect. Every week, we will be focusing on a single one of these Pokémon or evolutionary line and talking about what makes it special. This week's Pokémon of choice is the Bulbasaur line!
We'll be starting off this first Pokémon of the Week with Pokémon #001, Bulbasaur! Bulbasaur is one of the starter options from the original Pokémon games Red, Green, and Blue and has made several other appearances throughout the series, generally being obtainable through special in-game events. It's one of the few starter Pokémon that has a secondary typing from the very beginning. As it evolves into Ivysaur and Venusaur, the bulb on its back develops into a giant tree-like flower and becomes capable of wielding some of the most powerful Grass-type attacks in the game as well as other useful moves such as Sludge Bomb and Earthquake. Recently, Venusaur gained a new form through the Mega Evolution mechanic, which not only increased its attack strength but gave it tremendous new defensive capabilities. Bulbasaur holds a great deal of nostalgia for many people due it being many players' very first Pokémon and appearing as a regular in the Pokémon anime.
Here are some questions to consider to get conversation rolling. You don't have to answer all of them or any of them in your post as long as you're staying on topic and within global forum rules.
