1) He is super effective against the first 2 gyms and resistant to the 3rd gym
2) He learns Sleep Powder which is completely overpowered in gen 1
3) He learns razor leaf, which is also overpowered. Due to a calc bug, the move almost always caused a critical hit.
Combine that with no other viable grass pokemon (except Victreebell which isn’t even available in one of the games) and he’s the best choice both early and late game.
This kid has been trapped in a town with four buildings his whole life where you can’t leave without being told it is too dangerous to go into the grass alone. Logically, he is going to think grass is the most dangerous type.
Folks are reading the comic wrong. You’re about to go on a huge adventure by yourself. Do you take the Pokemon that can make fire for you anytime you need it? How about instant water? Or would you prefer the one that can shoot leaves?

![Grass type [OC]](https://preview.redd.it/qr6jtiabja191.jpg?auto=webp&s=2f5059b36317fb4d4f0b9f7992fef6b4f1834c80 "Grass type [OC]")
Yeah, why take one resistant to the first 2 gyms, giving you time to gather a good them and LVs for the one after that? Truly ridiculous.
Venusaur the goat
I always took the grass type because its just the best
You guys get a choice? I always get pushed out and get Pikachu!
Whoever made this comic doesn’t understand Pokemon half as well as they think they do.
Oak knows that Bulbs is the best starter.
He’s just mad that he won’t be able to smoke green while smashing Ash’s mom.
bulbasaur is meta lol the only reason charizard is showing up is heavy-duty boots
I had the official start guide and they even said Bulbasaur = Easy, Squirtle = Medium, Charmander = Hard
I literally always go grass, green is my favorite color
I always pick grass type but now I’m gonna do it out of spite
Fuck off Bulba is 001 because they are the best!
Leave me and my Snivy alone
Treecko will always be my favorite starter
Bulbasaur fucking ROCKED the first 2 gyms. He was a great choice.
Fuck the haters, Bulba is best poke’boy. I would say it’s a hill I would die on, but you would be dead from razor leaf before you touched the slope.
I love how all the comments are avid Bulbasaur defenders. There is hope for our world.
Also Prof Oak, “Try catching a tentacruel or fearow with a masterball”
This makes me want to download an emulator and play the og grass type again
Bulbasaur was OP in gen 1.
1) He is super effective against the first 2 gyms and resistant to the 3rd gym
2) He learns Sleep Powder which is completely overpowered in gen 1
3) He learns razor leaf, which is also overpowered. Due to a calc bug, the move almost always caused a critical hit.
Combine that with no other viable grass pokemon (except Victreebell which isn’t even available in one of the games) and he’s the best choice both early and late game.
I will not stand for Bulbasaur slander. He kicked righteous ass in my first nuzlocke and even made it to the Championship fight because he’s a legend.
real Pokemon masters ignore meta and train the Pokemon they like, rather than slaving after maximum numbers
Someone doesn’t realize how broken Sleep Powder was in Red and Blue.
