Altough he is Ash's OG pokemon and the most loyal one of them, Bulba is vastly underrated, i feel like only the people who've been around since gen 1 truly respect this beast
To know that Bulbasaur stacked more wins than losses in his base form and the abilities that are already in its arsenal, you can just imagine how powerful it’ll be once it reaches its full level cap right before evolving into Ivysaur
@@notevencalm man, true that. Growing up, my friends that I had who were into Pokémon and even my homeboy of current times, all favored Charizard or Chimchar. It usually be the fire types that I see people favor the most, it’s crazy lol
One of ash’s most loyal Pokémon. Stayed on his team for a very long time and never wanted to evolve and for good reason. A reason I never understood but still stood his ground.
@@ProfessorAlexSilver it could also be a subconscious fear of it’s evolved form, same with squirtle since when the gastly from “ghost of maiden’s peak” was showing the pokemon their fears it showed them a venusaur and a blastoise
it had something to do with them not knowing if they’d retain their same traits (personalities) i don’t remember exactly since it’s been years since i watched the original series
I actually find it really interesting to think about how Bulbasaur didn’t want to evolve because it saw what happened to Charmander. The psychology of Ash’s Pokémon are really interesting.
4:35 I think both Bulbasaur and Squirtle feared ending up like Charmander. Especially since Charmander loved ash much more then they did before it became Charmeleon. The true reason is they didn't wanna have to draw it's evolution
Ah... Bulbasaur... One of my personal favorites and an underrated one too. Mature... A True Leader... And great personality. Ash's Grass Types always bring a little something special, except Torterra once it fully evolved.
@@ribor1 Maybe it's not, but it still doesn't compare to it's glory days it had experienced when Ash first caught it. The main reason why Torterra never really had any major wins after evolving is because it was still focused on trying to be fast rather than fully adopt a more defensive battling style like it was taught to by Paul's Torterra after it evolved. I feel this can be best seen when Ash used it to battle Palmer's Rhyperior as a Grotle, since after it's opponent shrugged off a super effective razor leaf, Ash had it focus on using rock climb primarily, and while it DID put up quite a fight, it's reliance on a move that did resisted damage ultimately lead to it being overpowered and defeated by rock wrecker in the end. It did indeed go up against a number of strong opponents after evolving, but I personally feel that it would've faired far better in many of those fights if it had embraced using a more defensive approach, of which is most notably proven when it fought Candice's Sneasel and managed to beat it, which is also notable for being it's most impressive victory it got after it evolved
Thanks Axel! I always appreciate when Pokemon's story comes full circle. Some of the Pokemon I cover end abruptly before they get the justice they deserve :P
I remember a very old interview from the first head executive of the original anime, Kanto saga that the writers were very sad that they had to let go of Pidgeot because they had to make room for Ash's new flying type Pokémon from gen 2 aka Noctowl. The direct order from Nintendo was to let go of Ash's old team and that everyone in the creative team was too attached to all the Pokémon in Ash's team: especially the original gang of four, all four starter Pokémon. Then they found the solutions of leaving Squirtle as a fire brigade member, Charizard in Charicific valley and Bulbasaur as an ambassador at professor Oaks lab.
Y'know, Bulbasaur is pretty special. Since Butterfree and Pigeot were released, it's Ash's oldest owned Pokemon. I also like how mature it is taking control of a situation when needed. I also love it's resolve and refusal to evolve being a real example f Pokemon being capable on their own. What an amazing little plant dinosaur. Also 12:10 Me too editor. Hope Arceus is on your side for that.
Bulbasaur the realest. One Pokémon that I always resonated with the most because it resembled the qualities that you want in yourself and people in general. Loyal, protective, loving, territorial. I feel a lot of people who watch Pokémon be sleeping on Bulbasaur. Hella potential, fr. If he was a real life pet nowadays in this world, you’ll probably become a bit anti-social since it’s the all-in-one friend you need and have lol. It’s the Earthy qualities of it that draws me. Green was always and still to this day the first I ever gravitated towards and it became my favorite color, similarly to how Bulbasaur became the first Pokémon I really connected with in a personal way. I agree with you tho, it is an amazing Pokémon 🦖🐸🌱🍃💚
Pidgeot returned though and was caught before Bulbasaur now. I wonder how Bulbasaur and Charizard reacted to finding their old friend back at Oak's lab.
Ah one of the originals. I loved Ash's Bulbasaur. Ash had him for quite a while and it was sad to see him leave. I'm glad he shows up every once in a while
Bulbasaur is my all-time favorite Pokémon, and Ash's Bulbasaur is one of the reasons why! Their personal story is one of the best of Ash's Pokémon! Starting from a hardened protector to a versatile battler and finally to a compassionate, empathetic, and strong mentor and leader. Bulbasaur's kindness and protectiveness are some of his best attributes. I wholeheartedly agree with you that if Oak did not need Bulbasaur to keep the peace at the lab, Ash would have kept never left them. I like to think that Bulbasaur would have become a permanent member of Ash's team and even stay out of his Poke-ball like Pikachu! I wonder how different the series would have been if Bulbasaur became a permanent member of the team and fought alongside Ash and his Hoein, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alolan, and Journey teams!
Looking back at it, it's funny how ash still ended up getting bulbasaur. Bulbasaur had the same attitude towards ash just like pikachu and got won over by how much he cared for them
That's like 90% of the anime. Same goes for Squirtle, Charizard, Primeape... Almost every episode was the same. He also won half of his badges losing to the gym leader, but doing something nice that made them like him... A few years ago I decided to rewatch Digimon and was amazed by how well it hold up. I tried to the same with Pokémon and found it unbearable, the first season tells the same story over and over again, all they do is introduce a different Pokémon each episode. I mean, even Pokémon moves, Ash, Brock and Misty pretty much only teach their parties tackle and one other move.
Ash's Bulbasaur is one of his best Pokémon he's ever had out there for staying around the longest, becoming strongest & waiting on until its ready to evolve all the way into Venusuar!
Bulbasaur has such great character growth and is probably one of the most wholesome members of Ash's Pokemon. He has such positive energy and I love how mature he grew throughout the series. He is soo cute and I would love to be buddies with him. :D
My favourite starter right from my childhood till today is Bulbasaur. His story was so perfectly depicted in the anime that despite wanting it to evolve into a Venusaur so bad, I actually understand why it didn't want to. ❤️ But I desperately want him back for a surprise return kind of like wild card entry in a battle
When I was young, for some reason I enjoyed that for a while in Johto, Ash had both Bulbasaur & Chikorita on his team. I remember him using both at the same time for Vine Whip in the second or third movie. Just having two different starters of the same type on the team did something for younger me.
Bulbasaur always new his worth, he was basically the designated middle child ❤️ I don’t use grass types but bulbasaur will always be my fave grass type Pokémon because of this show
He was the eldest child who oversaw his younger 'siblings' at Oak's lab. The eldest child used at first a lot until his younger brother became the big & powerful Charizard and eclipsed him.
Honestly, I love Bulbasaur just the way he is. It's true his power will rise if he evolves. But he has proven to be a competent battler regardless. So, I don't see the problem, he's still one of Ash's loveliest Pokemon😁
Bulbasuar totally should have evolved in the Orange Islands or Johto. It would have been great for Ash to have one starter or each stage, and have nice brand synergy with Smash Bros.
I was waiting for this masterpiece ❤️ Bulbasaur was so OP if it wasn't removed in season 5 from the team it would have overshadowed Pikachu I can't wait for infernape video
Imagine if Bulbasaur did fully evolve it may have had the same "issues" that turtwig had after fully evolving into torterra. Which could be one of the next Pokémon you decide to cover in a future video.
Hey Airsoft, I actually covered a starter before this one :) You should check out my video on Ash's Squirtle. It's one of my favorites on the channel. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/TSRtzNhhTls/w-d-xo.html
Your channel is so underrated! I love that you've covered my top 3 favorites (Psyduck, Bulbasaur, and Snorlax). I look forward to seeing your future videos.
Cynthia's garchomp would be an interesting pick, very balanced personality, disciplined, loyal and a bit overpowered. Jessie and her dustox had been through a lot and have some interesting story till the day she released her, very emotional episode. Everyone here suggest many great choices for you to analyze so I guess mine is another needle in the haystack, also you're doing a great job and your videos just keep improving. Nicely done!!
Dustox is definitely high on my list -- I want to cover some Team Rocket mons soon. I need to sift through a few hundred episodes to make sure I don't miss anything but it will hopefully be in next month or two
Now Ash has become champion, its time for both Bulbasaur & Squirtle choose their way on evolving into Venusaur & Blastoise especially during the World Championships but first check out the Isle of Armor which will help develop their growth even further!
Unfortunately I feel like they won’t let Squirtle evolve because Blastoise is his rival’s Gary signature Pokémon (and that’s a shame since it’s my favorite Pokémon). But I sure hope Bulbasaur someday will change his mind and evolve.
I hope Bulbasaur never evolves. He's iconic just as he is. If he HAS to, then second stage max. Final stage would make him to big and slow to do his current job properly. Bulba is used to being an agile fighter. Final form would hinder him more then help him at this point.
4:34 I always thought it was because ash was so exited for it to evolve but he didn’t care about what bulbasaur wanted, so it decided to stay at its base form to prove to ash that it didn’t need to be evolved to be powerful
Yup! Ash didn't consider Bulbasaurs feelings. I don't think it stayed in its base form for that reason alone though. Bulbasaur always seemed more stubborn than spiteful to me
When I was 6, if anyone asks me who my favorite Pokèmon was, I always answer - 001 - Bulbasaur. In the Pokèmon game, he's my starter too. Now I'm 27, I still have my undying love for Bulbasaur. I've forgotten most of the battles in the story but I have never forgotten how much love Bulbasaur gave to Ash. Your video is so awesome.
I remember the genuine excitement of watching morning cartoons and during weekend my biological clock was set around pokemon. This brings back many beautiful memories
Bulbasaur and the hidden village was the very first episode of Pokémon I ever saw along with the following two episodes! It didn’t take me long to get hooked on the series as a whole and start from the very beginning! Now whenever I think of Ash, The first Pokémon I think of besides Pikachu is Bulbasaur! And with his history, how can anyone not?!
Man when I tell you you are unlocking deep basement memories bruh, I had forgotten most of this I’m so ashamed I was such a HUGE fan but I fell off after Ruby/Sapphire it’s honestly making me want to dive back in and see what the new games are all about
The inevitable pikachu video would probably have to be a two or three parter to give the editor a bit of a break instead of doing it all at once lmao 😂
Professor Silver - I just discovered you channel today and I can’t stop watching! I’ve stopped watching the anime, but I can’t thank you enough for giving me some closure to some characters that I’ve cared about since childhood (Bulbasaur is my favorite). You rock, and keep up the great work!
Thanks Chalkie! I try to make each of the videos enjoyable, regardless if you're familiar with the characters, so I hope you have fun watching them all :)
Amazing! Thanks for covering this so concisely! Bulbasaur has always been my #1 Pokemon ever since I was first introduced to Pokemon when I was a little kid, whenever anyone asks what my favourite Pokemon is it's always been Bulbasaur, but I stopped watching the series a little after the Indigo League waaaay back in the day, it's good to know that Ash hasn't given Bulbasaur away like he's done with so many Pokemon before and it's developed a decent history even if it's still hanging out in Oak's Lab from time to time.
Team Rocket's losses are so hard to count, I've decided to only include their wins in the battle record lol. It's tough since so many Pokemon assist in beating Arbok, but don't deliver the finishing blow. It also goes the other way for wins. Arbok does major damage, but then gets taken out before winning the battle.
Bulbasaur is very likable and had a lovely development. I think it's great that some writers understood that just like with Pikachu, some Pokémon can be impressive without feeling the need of physical change. Bulbasaur was steadfast and pretty much had the heart of a leader finalizing his arc as the guardian of the Pokémon at Oak's lab. Definitely a respectable character in my opinion.
Ash’s bulbasaur is one of the main reasons why it (as well as ivysaur and venusaur) are my favorite starter Pokémon of all time! I just loved the little guy in the anime. And my god was that win list long lol, shout out to you and your editor for doing that
GREAT VIDEO as usual!! Bulbasaur is one of my fav pokémon in the anime and the games!! My respects to the editor who had a lot of work in this one!! LOL
Hello Professor Silver! I love your content, and was wondering about Oshawott? Oshawott is my favorite Pokémon, and if it doesn’t trip up your upload schedule, I would love to see it! Thank you! Also, congrats on 7k!
Oshawott is definitely high on my list! It had a ton of appearances to go through but I'll hopefully do it towards the end of the year. Krookodile & some other Unova mons are on the way though :)
it's so funny that bulbasaur lost to such easy opponents being a warrior due to its confidence, even it lost to a bellsprout and chikorita, whereas it defeated their evolutions like a fighter
Not a huge part of the story, but Bulbasaur also saved Team Rocket from getting obliterated in the Virtual World during the infamous “Electric Soldier Porygon” episode.
the episode where Ash caught Bulbasaur was the first episode I ever got to see. chose Bulbasaur in Blue version shortly after :) Bulbasaur has always been my main Kanto starter :)
Bulbasaur is such an underrated Pokémon. Charmander may have taken his spotlight but Bulbasaur in my opinion will always be Ash’s most loyal and beloved Pokémon just behind Pikachu. I enjoyed his character growth and he will always be one of my most favorite started Pokémon of all time as well as Pikachu and Charmander. I can’t forget Squirtle as well.
I wasn't able to watch the pokemon series (since I don't know where to watch it) so I'm glad youtube recommended this to me cuz I love bulba boi! Thank you professor!

Bulbasaur was done badly in season 1

Bulbasaur has always been my favorite of ash's starters and the voice of reason in the group.
Forgot how strong Bulbasaur had gotten. Arguably Ash’s most underrated Pokemon
I always loved Bulbasaur on Ashs team was just sad it never evolved :(
Luckily it's a beast regardless of form :)
Though I still really like even if it didn't evolve but just maybe it would be cooler
Would’ve been awesome to see ash own all the evolved starters. If only bulbasaur and squirtle evolved along with charmander.

I hope Bulbasaur never evolves. He's iconic just as he is. If he HAS to, then second stage max. Final stage would make him to big and slow to do his current job properly. Bulba is used to being an agile fighter. Final form would hinder him more then help him at this point.
I like how some pokemon like bulbasaur doesn't like ash until they become friend
Ash has to work for their friendship :)
This channel has slowly crept up and become my favorite thing to watch on TH-cam 😂
That's awesome, and very inspiring to hear! Hope you keep enjoying it!
4:34 I always thought it was because ash was so exited for it to evolve but he didn’t care about what bulbasaur wanted, so it decided to stay at its base form to prove to ash that it didn’t need to be evolved to be powerful
Yup! Ash didn't consider Bulbasaurs feelings. I don't think it stayed in its base form for that reason alone though. Bulbasaur always seemed more stubborn than spiteful to me
When I was 6, if anyone asks me who my favorite Pokèmon was, I always answer - 001 - Bulbasaur. In the Pokèmon game, he's my starter too. Now I'm 27, I still have my undying love for Bulbasaur. I've forgotten most of the battles in the story but I have never forgotten how much love Bulbasaur gave to Ash. Your video is so awesome.
Thanks! Bulbasaur was always one of my favs as well
Now I want Ash's bayleef!My fav grass mon of all ❤️
Working on it :)
I remember the genuine excitement of watching morning cartoons and during weekend my biological clock was set around pokemon. This brings back many beautiful memories
Thanks, glad to be of service :)
0:49 I love how bulbasaur acknowledges
misty is a threat to the pokemon in the village
He must have sensed how abusive she was to her Pokemon 😅
@@ProfessorAlexSilver she deserves everything that came at her lol🤣🤣💀
Bulbasaur and the hidden village was the very first episode of Pokémon I ever saw along with the following two episodes! It didn’t take me long to get hooked on the series as a whole and start from the very beginning! Now whenever I think of Ash, The first Pokémon I think of besides Pikachu is Bulbasaur! And with his history, how can anyone not?!
I love how Jackson was also in Chronicles
Its like what they did in X and Y with Alain having the Mega Evolution Specials
I would have love to see Paul get his own special some day, it's a great concept
Man when I tell you you are unlocking deep basement memories bruh, I had forgotten most of this I’m so ashamed I was such a HUGE fan but I fell off after Ruby/Sapphire it’s honestly making me want to dive back in and see what the new games are all about
The inevitable pikachu video would probably have to be a two or three parter to give the editor a bit of a break instead of doing it all at once lmao 😂
It'll probably be a 7-10 parter :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver - a Pikachu video for each generation, and one for the cinematic universe.
@@ProfessorAlexSilver lmao true
@@kikimdo lmao 😂
Do a part for each series.
Professor Silver - I just discovered you channel today and I can’t stop watching! I’ve stopped watching the anime, but I can’t thank you enough for giving me some closure to some characters that I’ve cared about since childhood (Bulbasaur is my favorite). You rock, and keep up the great work!
Thanks Chalkie! I try to make each of the videos enjoyable, regardless if you're familiar with the characters, so I hope you have fun watching them all :)
Wow, thanks for the response! Is there any more content about Team Rocket’s James’ childhood Growlithe? That would be a cool video!
You are back with another 🔥 video
Thanks buddy!!
Amazing! Thanks for covering this so concisely! Bulbasaur has always been my #1 Pokemon ever since I was first introduced to Pokemon when I was a little kid, whenever anyone asks what my favourite Pokemon is it's always been Bulbasaur, but I stopped watching the series a little after the Indigo League waaaay back in the day, it's good to know that Ash hasn't given Bulbasaur away like he's done with so many Pokemon before and it's developed a decent history even if it's still hanging out in Oak's Lab from time to time.
Thanks! This one was a beast to produce, lots of episodes to go through :)
The editing during wins and losses was hilarious 🤣
We'll try to add more like stuff like that in the future :)
Bulbasaur is my favorite of Ash's Pokemon! I binged all your videos after watching this one haha
That's awesome!! Which was your favorite?
1st 🤧🤧 I thought professor silver got he's stimmy and left us lol 😆 😂
😆
No. I'm first
my goodness bulbasaur has a lot of wins! 😯😃
no wonder you called it a true warrior XD
Ash's bulbasaur is the main reason it's my favorite Kanto starter!
As much as I love Charizard, I think Bulbasaur is my favorite of the original trio in the anime, it's got such a great personality
I am staying far away these wild fires, and safe too. Thank you for looking after my safety, I appreciate it.
Of course! California is crazy
One of the Ash's most loyal, oldest and mature Pokemon from his start of journey.
Ps: Bulbasaur bromance with squirtle is my favourite 😗🤟
Bulbasaur is the mvp :)
bulbasaur has been my favorite starter since I can remember ... no matter what game I play I always make sure he is in my starting lineup
You should do Jessie’s Arbok, although it’s gonna have a long history and a LOT of losses.
Team Rocket's losses are so hard to count, I've decided to only include their wins in the battle record lol. It's tough since so many Pokemon assist in beating Arbok, but don't deliver the finishing blow. It also goes the other way for wins. Arbok does major damage, but then gets taken out before winning the battle.
Professor Alex silver is like a real life version of professor oak that's so awesome!
Thanks!!
Bulbasaur battle intensely against Meganium and Dusclops. I was like goodness this Pokémon is strong!
I always loved its final battles -- showed how powerful Bulbasaur could be :)
Man I cannot wait for next week! This video was amazing- but that’s what I expect from the fourth anipoke bro
Ha thanks Trevor!!
Thought we might have a good one on the way when it took a few extra days. Was not disappointed!
Awesome to hear, thanks!!
Ashs baulbasaur is a boss, lots of personality, proud and leader type. He is a real one that rarely shows emotions but has a deep bond with his group
Ash's Bulbasaur is a tough battler, kudos to my favorite Grass/Poison type starter
Sending my kudos as well :D
HES COMING BACK IN JOURNEYS!!!
Let's hope!
8:41 my favourite part
Great scene :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver I love squirtle and Bulbasaur bromance
Bulbasaur is very likable and had a lovely development. I think it's great that some writers understood that just like with Pikachu, some Pokémon can be impressive without feeling the need of physical change. Bulbasaur was steadfast and pretty much had the heart of a leader finalizing his arc as the guardian of the Pokémon at Oak's lab. Definitely a respectable character in my opinion.
The Pikachu episode would probably either be a very very long video or be separated based on series 😭
It'll be a multi-multi parter :)
Ash’s bulbasaur is one of the main reasons why it (as well as ivysaur and venusaur) are my favorite starter Pokémon of all time! I just loved the little guy in the anime. And my god was that win list long lol, shout out to you and your editor for doing that
It will probably be the longest with exception of Pikachu :)
unevolved starter pokemon in anime: *wins against 30 pokemon* unevolved starter pokemon in games: die lol
Nobody messes with the Bulb :P
They all have built in eviolites
My requests are for Misty’s psyduck, Gary’s Blastoise, and Ash’s Charizard. I love what you do, keep it up!
All on my radar 😎
Old reliable! I’ve always loved Ash’s Bulbasaur!
Same here! I especially liked it warrior mentality
GREAT VIDEO as usual!! Bulbasaur is one of my fav pokémon in the anime and the games!!
My respects to the editor who had a lot of work in this one!! LOL
Couldn't agree more! This one was a beast to produce. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I guess even mediators can get into fights they would be the ones to usually stop lol 😂
The ones that claim to be peaceful and chill all the time are always the ones you need to look out for :P
@@ProfessorAlexSilver they’re peaceful because they know they can kill you they are just mature and kind enough to choose not too lol
Hello Professor Silver! I love your content, and was wondering about Oshawott? Oshawott is my favorite Pokémon, and if it doesn’t trip up your upload schedule, I would love to see it! Thank you! Also, congrats on 7k!
Oshawott is definitely high on my list! It had a ton of appearances to go through but I'll hopefully do it towards the end of the year. Krookodile & some other Unova mons are on the way though :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver Thank you so much! While Alola is my favorite region, Unova definitely had the best Pokemon designs out there.
it's so funny that bulbasaur lost to such easy opponents being a warrior due to its confidence, even it lost to a bellsprout and chikorita, whereas it defeated their evolutions like a fighter
Ashs Bulbasaur is strong and stubborn but you gotta love it, its also loyal and a born leader.
Very very true!
Not a huge part of the story, but Bulbasaur also saved Team Rocket from getting obliterated in the Virtual World during the infamous “Electric Soldier Porygon” episode.
My favorite of ash’s starters and my favorite Pokémon always loved bulbasaur it was such a cool and powerful Pokémon
@@ProfessorAlexSilver completely agree I won a lot of battles in the games using bulbasaur and his evolution line
As did I :)
@@ProfessorAlexSilver yea I even still have my old bulbasaur figure from my childhood
the episode where Ash caught Bulbasaur was the first episode I ever got to see. chose Bulbasaur in Blue version shortly after :) Bulbasaur has always been my main Kanto starter :)
That's awesome! I've seen that episode too many times to count lol
Watching bulbasaur was like living back my childhood :)
Hope it lived up to the nostalgia :)
Bulbasaur is such an underrated Pokémon. Charmander may have taken his spotlight but Bulbasaur in my opinion will always be Ash’s most loyal and beloved Pokémon just behind Pikachu. I enjoyed his character growth and he will always be one of my most favorite started Pokémon of all time as well as Pikachu and Charmander. I can’t forget Squirtle as well.
Fushigidane, the OG Grass starter to steal our heart, prove its power in battle and always show loyalty despite being in its first stage 👏🏼💚
A true classic!
Yay a new video from my favorite proffesor:)
Thanks Crystal! More to come :)
I wasn't able to watch the pokemon series (since I don't know where to watch it) so I'm glad youtube recommended this to me cuz I love bulba boi! Thank you professor!
Welcome aboard!
I love that its been so long now that this video is necessary.
Thanks! It was really fun exploring Bulbasaur's history
Been waiting for this!
Hope it met your expectations Pedro :)
Just found your channel and i'm already in LOVE with your content!
Thanks Joey!! Enjoy them :)
Your videos are so well produced!
Wow, thank you!
i used to live the charms set line so much but ive finally hopped on the bulbasaur train, definitely one of my favorites out of all the starters
I like Bulbasaur mor than its evolved forms XD
Good videos, glad TH-cam recommend your channel, brings back my childhood
Glad you enjoyed it! Good to hear TH-cam recommended it as well :)
Fun 🤩 Facts:

. Bulbasaur is Ash’s only Pokémon who refused to evolve after the process began.
. In Island of the Giant Pokémon, Bulbasaur claims that it was an orphan and had no known relatives, although it is unclear whether these claims are truly sincere, since it said this after Squirtle suggested it try to speak 🗣 with a giant, robotic Venusaur.
. Pokémon the Series: XY is the only series in which Bulbasaur does not appear.
. Bulbasaur is Ash’s only Poison-type that is not fully evolved.
. In Pikachu’s Vacation, Bulbasaur sings a song 🎵 called Bulbasaur’s Bulbaby in order to keep Togepi happy 😃. Dexter reports this as the first recording of the song 🎵.
. Bulbasaur is Ash’s oldest caught Pokémon that he still owns, and, as such, is also the Pokémon he had owned for the longest time period, not including Pikachu.
. Aside from Pikachu, Bulbasaur spent the most amount of time in Ash’s party 🎉, at 215 episodes.

. Pokémon the Series: XY and XYZ is the only series of the anime in which Bulbasaur does not appear or is mentioned.
Great facts
You’re officially my new favorite professor 😫🥰🥰🥰
Thanks! Awesome to hear that 😃
It's amazing how in Johto bulbasaur was almost never used in favor of bayleef. I wonder why they took so long to take it out of Ash's team. ..
Ash’s Bulbasaur appeared in the shorts including Pikachu’s Vacation, Pikachu’s Rescue Adventure, Pikachu & Pichu, and Pikachu’s PikaBoo.
All very fun!
The true reason he didn't evolve was because , he thought after evolving he will also behave like charmeleon is the main reason he didn't choose to evolve
Definitely a top contender for the reason
I used to wonder why Bulbasaur didn't want to evolve. Now I love Bulbasaur as Bulbasaur. He's every bit as badass as any pokemon in their final form.
I think it's too stubborn and wants to prove its power without resorting to a power upgrade
TH-cam’s recommended did something right for once. Glad I found this page :)
Same here! If you need any recommendations, I love the videos on Mimikyu, Squirtle & Mega Charizard
Exeggutor: ‘exists’
Bulbasaur: and I took that personally
This storyline was so awesome and heart touching
