Bulbasaur is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, reptilian creature that somewhat resembles a toad or a young dinosaur with a spotted blue-green hide. It has three white toes or claws growing out of its four legs, and its eyes are a bright red. The most notable feature of this Pokémon is the onion-like bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back by its mother at birth. Bulbasaur's bulb shares a symbiotic relationship that is beneficial for both. This allows Bulbasaur to get an enhanced boost of energy from the sun during the day and the bulb to remain growing and strong at night. The bulb also contains many seeds from which it draws nutrients. | Bulbasaur is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, reptilian creature that somewhat resembles a toad or a young dinosaur with a spotted blue-green hide.

Who know what the japanese are doing when they make up this stuff? | ||
Though they usually walk on four legs, a Bulbasaur can rise up on its hind legs. When it evolves into Ivysaur, the bulb becomes a larger flower bud, making it nearly impossible for one to rise on its hind legs. | Though they usually walk on four legs, a Bulbasaur can rise up on its hind legs.

Bulbasaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period. Along with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Bulbasaur appears to have more in common with {{wp|mammals}} than {{wp|amphibians}} like {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}}, which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Bulbasaur does | Bulbasaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period.
