The Forbidden Forest (Japanese: 禁断の森 Forbidden Forest) is an anime-exclusive Template:Type2 Pokémon reserve. It is where May caught her Bulbasaur.

No humans are allowed in the Forbidden Forest. The folk of the nearby village try to keep travelers out. A Venusaur is the 'boss' of the Forest.

May was kidnapped by a Skarmory and was dropped into the forest. While exploring the forest, May met a Bulbasaur trying to pick flowers. It warmed up to her and defended her against the other Grass Pokémon, who saw her as a threat. When May left the forest, Bulbasaur decided to go with her.
