Ash's Bulbasaur: Difference between revisions
Heracross isn't even mentioned here, so there's no reason to have an image of it here, hence why I picked it to be replaced. If you insist on keeping it, I'm moving it to a spot where it's relevant.
(sap was slightly more recent than fear) |

In ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Bulbasaur was used in the second round of Ash's Gym challenge against [[Danny]]. It attempted to help Pikachu carve a frozen geyser into an ice sled, but was unable to keep up with Danny's team until {{AP|Charizard}} completed it in a few short {{m|Flamethrower}}s. Bulbasaur was later used again in the final round, where it helped Ash, Pikachu, and {{AP|Squirtle}} in the sled race down the cliff, using its vines to steer. Thanks to everyone's cooperation, Ash was able to cross the finish line first, winning Ash the challenge and earning him the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}. | In ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Bulbasaur was used in the second round of Ash's Gym challenge against [[Danny]].

Bulbasaur joined Ash in Johto, where it first met {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. This began the recurring joke of Heracross wanting to suck the pollen from Bulbasaur's bulb. Throughout the Johto journeys, Bulbasaur's oldest team members Charizard and Squirtle both went into training with others, leaving Bulbasaur as Ash's only remaining Kanto starter. In ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'', Bulbasaur was used to battle against a {{AP|Chikorita}} that Ash had interest in catching. It was recalled after being hurt by the small Grass-type Pokémon and was congratulated by Ash for its effort. Bulbasaur was used in ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', where Ash ordered it to find Chikorita. It would again be irritated by Heracross, who after getting deployed by Ash against Team Rocket, wasted no time in trying to suck the pollen out of Bulbasaur's bulb. Bulbasaur scolded its teammate and hit Heracross with its vines. | Bulbasaur joined Ash in Johto, where it first met {{AP|Heracross}} in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''.

It bid a solemn farewell to Squirtle in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''. Bulbasaur fought for Ash against Misty for the second time in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. It seemingly defeated {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} with a Razor Leaf, but Poliwag evolved into {{p|Poliwhirl}} and fought back with a powerful {{m|Body Slam}}. After taking damage from Bubble, Bulbasaur flattened Poliwhirl with Solar Beam, winning the match for Ash. It also had a rematch with {{an|Aya}} in ''[[EP176|Ariados, Amigos!]]'', using Tackle to defeat Venonat from above. | It bid a solemn farewell to Squirtle in ''[[EP147|The Fire-ing Squad!]]''.

Bulbasaur is one of Ash's most mature Pokémon, and is frequently viewed as the responsible leader of Ash's Pokémon, especially due to its actions at both Melanie's Hidden Village and Professor Oak's lab. In ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'', it showed that it had learned from its experiences by recognizing a trap that Ash's Johto starters could not. | Bulbasaur is one of Ash's most mature Pokémon, and is frequently viewed as the responsible leader of Ash's Pokémon, especially due to its actions at both Melanie's Hidden Village and Professor Oak's lab.
