Creation and conception

The design and art direction for Bulbasaur were provided by Ken Sugimori,[6] a friend of the creator of the Pocket Monsters game, Satoshi Tajiri, and the species appeared as a starting character for players in the initial Game Boy games released in Japan. The character in the early Pokémon video games was portrayed by a two-dimensional sprite; in later releases Bulbasaur's appearance has been conveyed by 3D computer graphics. Throughout, the character has been portrayed with no spoken dialogue. In the series' anime, the character has facial expressions, body language and makes noises that repeat syllables of their name, using different pitches and tones.

Its original name, Fushiginade, is a Japanese phrase that translates as "weird, isn't it" and is a pun on the Japanese word fushigidane (不思議種?), which means "strange seed"[7] In translating the game for English speaking audiences, Nintendo of America gave the Pokémon "cleverly descriptive names" related to their appearancee or features as a means to make the characters more relatable to American children; thus Bulbasaur, relating to both its dinosaur appearance and the large garlic-like bulb on its back.[8] French, Korean, Taiwan and Chinese language counterparts used names relating closer to the original pun: Bulbizarre,[9] Isanghaessi (이상해씨 "Strange Seed"), Mìao Wa Chóng Zí (妙蛙種子 "Strange Frog Seed Child") and Qí Yì Chóng Zí (奇異種子 "Very Strange Seed Child"), respectively. German versions used a name closer to the American counterpart, Bisasam (a combination of bisamratte (musk rat) and samen (seed)).[10] For other uses, see Pun (disambiguation). ...

Characteristics

In the Pokémon franchise, Bulbasaur are small, squat, vaguely reptilian Pokémon that move on all four legs, and have light blue-green bodies with darker blue-green spots. As a Bulbasaur undergoes evolution into Ivysaur and then later into Venusaur, the bulb on its back blossoms into a flower. In the Pokémon electronic game series, the Pokédex, a fictional Pokémon encyclopedia, says that the seed on a Bulbasaur's back is planted at birth, it then sprouts and grows larger as the Bulbasaur grows.[11] The bulb growth continues during evolution into Ivysaur and then Venusaur, and as Bulbasaur evolve, they become stronger and more powerful. The Pokédex also states that the bulb absorbs sunlight which makes it grow, for this reason, Bulbasaur enjoy soaking up the sun's rays,[12] and can survive for days without eating because the bulb stores energy.[13] In the Pokémon anime, the character Ash Ketchum has a Bulbasaur who is portrayed as being brave but also stubborn.
