In another [https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ interview], Sugimori described the origin and the basic themes of the original starter Pokémon: "[T]he experience of keeping small animals such as frogs (Bulbasaur), lizards (Charmander), and baby turtles (Squirtle) as pets gives the game a sense of reality and makes it easier to get into the game. I realized it might be difficult to make an emotional connection if the first partner Pokémon is a tough-looking character."
-In another [https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ interview], the pokémon designer himself describes the origin and the basic themes of the original starters.  Sugimori states that, ''“-the experience of keeping small animals such as frogs (Bulbasaur), lizards (Charmander), and baby turtles (Squirtle) as pets gives the game a sense of reality and makes it easier to get into the game.

+Venusaur's large, rounded snout; wide mouth; wide-set eyes; bumpy, wart-like skin; and quadruped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" do have hollows, indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.

 The flower on its back resembles the ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}''.
