It was raised in the [[Hidden Village]] by [[Melanie]], who cared for sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon. Bulbasaur acted as the village's bodyguard, but after Ash helps defend the Hidden Village from an attack by [[Team Rocket]], Melanie encourages it to join Ash, explaining that its growth is being stunted by staying too long in the village. Although Bulbasaur initially appeared to distrust Ash. In ''[[EP017|Island of Giant Pokémon]]'', it alone assumed that Ash had abandoned it and the others. Its views on trainers were presumably colored by all the abandoned Pokémon in the Hidden Village. Over time Bulbasaur grew to trust its new trainer. | It was raised in the [[Hidden Village]] by [[Melanie]], who cared for sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon.

Bulbasaur is extremely stubborn, surly, and eager to battle. It had the opportunity to [[evolve]], but refused to do so despite facing a mass of {{p|Ivysaur}} as well as a {{p|Venusaur}} who were angry at it for ruining the Bulbasaur evolutionary festival. This allowed him to learn the powerful {{m|SolarBeam}} technique earlier than if it had evolved. It has the heart of a fighter and it never gives up in a battle. It has the determination to keep fighting even if the odds are against it, defeating such varied opponents as an {{p|Exeggutor}}, a {{p|Venonat}}, and a {{p|Scyther}} despite the type disadvantages. During a visit to a garden full of exotic plants run by [[Florinda Showers]], Bulbasaur developed a certain affection for her {{p|Gloom}}, but nothing apparently came of it. | Bulbasaur is extremely stubborn, surly, and eager to battle.

Bulbasaur is the only member of Ash's original team, save for {{AP|Pikachu}}, to remain in his care. He stayed with him until midway in the [[Johto]] adventures, when he was sent back to [[Professor Oak]]'s to keep the Pokémon there from quarreling with each other. Bulbasaur later returned in ''[[AG074|Hokey Poké Balls!]]'' to meet [[May's Bulbasaur]], and again alongside {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} to battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]] at the [[Battle Frontier#Battle Pyramid|Battle Pyramid]], where it defeated Brandon's {{p|Dusclops}} and {{p|Solrock}} (although, admittedly, the Dusclops had already been weakened by Charizard and the Solrock took Bulbasaur down with it). | Bulbasaur is the only member of Ash's original team, save for {{AP|Pikachu}}, to remain in his care.
