Torterra is a Venusaur rip-off. As is Infernape a Blaz9ken rip-off.

So I guess every fish pokemon is a rip-off of magikarp,(carvanha,finneon,barrboach,remoraid,etc) and every bird pokemon is a rip-off of pidgeotto right?(Staraptor,swellow,noctowl)

Just like swellow and staraptors arent based in pidgeons(but in starlings/hawks and Swallows,respectively),Torterra doesnt resemble a whatever venusaur is a frog/dinasour with a random flower in its back.Torterra is a world turtle

And what do blaziken and infernape share in comon besides its type?!infernape is an ape based on a chinese tale and blaziken is a cockfighting chiken.

I don't know. Design-wise, both look pwnsome. Although both share a similar concept: a giant reptile with a plant on its back. So in that aspect, Venusaur beats Torterra in the originality department single-handledly, plus it's the fuckin' first Pokémon in the National Dex. But Torterra, despite its double weakness to Ice, is far more superior in terms of versatility, mainly because of its STAB Earthquake.

Although in a one on one battle between the two, probably Venusaur would win becaus eof its Sleep Power and Grass Knot.

So, all in all, I declare it a tie.

I voted Torterra, mostly because I like the design more. STAB Earthquake is a nice advantage as well.

How is having STAB EQ an advantage is beyond me. It hits Venosaur neutrally.

I think he was refering in general terms, not speciphically in a fight against a Venusaur.

Venasaur because hey it's an original and he's way better! Just include Poisenpowder on Torterra and eventually in the match Torterra will have total annihilation! Or just use Sleep Powder and he can slowly take down Torterra while it's in dreamaland. But let's face it Venasaur is better than Torterra! Charizard can beat all the other 3 fire starters and the water types are all equally awesome!

Venasaur!! ;0
Torterra sounds like tortilla...

 

[VeggiePopper]

But tortillas are delicious <3

 

[Faye Scarlet]

Nothing can beat torterra. ;A; A cute lovable turtle over some ugly plant dinosaur is good for me any day!

 

[Evil SandSlash98]

But Venasaur has some great moves.

I have to go with Torterra on this one. I love Venusaur because he is classic but I prefer Torterra just because it looks much cooler IMO.:lick:

Torterra for me. Both are cool, but Venusaur has to compete with many other Grass/Poison Pokémon, of which I prefer many over it. On the other hand, Torterra has the unique Grass/Ground Type, which was one combination I really wanted to see for a while, so I was happy it did, and in the form of a really cool Pokémon, no less. Plus, I prefer tortoises over toads, ehehe.

Venusaur, who wants a walking island?

 

[That's Chocolate-ism]

Venusaur.
Frankly, I don't know much about Torterra so I'm a little biased here. But I think Venusaur's special abilities will deem to be more useful, take solar beam for example which could be used as a power source. Whereas Torterra's physical capabilities may only lead to destruction if not controlled properly. And if ever the two would battle, it all depends on their trainers or their raw skills. Since the two are of the same type, there's no telling which one has the good end of the stick. Might as well see them for myself

 

[Evil SandSlash98]

Well Venasaur is a Grass/Poison Type and Torterra is a Grass/Ground Type. So I think Torterra has the advantage.

 

[Envoy]

Wrong. Poison is weak to Ground but Ground is weak to Grass. If we're talking types here, Torterra would hit Venusaur neutrally with Ground type moves and not very effectively with Grass type ones (since both Poison and Grass resist Grass). Conversely, Venusaur hits Torterra neutrally with Poison moves (Ground resists Poison) and neutrally with Grass moves. If we're talking simple types here, Venusaur actually has the advantage (though not by much)

 

[Evil SandSlash98]

Yeah you're right. Thanks for fixing my mistake. It would be a tough match. Since it will be a close call.
