Bulbasaur

Description
Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon. The seed on its back is filled with nutrients. It carries a seed on its back right from birth. As it grows older, the seed also grows larger. When it is ready to evolve, the seed blooms.

In the original games, Oak mentions that Bulbasaur is very easy to train. This could refer to the fact that it learns moves and evolves a little more quickly than Charmander or Squirtle, but it more likely refers to the fact that Bulbasaur has the type advantage in the first two gyms (as opposed to Squirtle, who only has the advantage in the first gym, or Charmander, who is weak to both gyms' types).

As with the original games, Bulbasaur also seems to be the easiest starter to use throughout PTD, so for beginners who want to get through the game quickly, Bulbasaur is a good choice.

People have argued over the years if whether bulbasaur is actually a plant or a animal becuase of the unusual way it grows.
