The sad little blue, or green, or uh... what color is it supposed to be?!? Fat Plant Pokemon:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the animal plant combo: BULBASAUR
SPRITES:
Gen. 1:
Unlike some other sprites from this generation, bulbasaur actually looks like it does in later generations
Well... as much as a mutant frog can.
Then Yellow came along...
Good god, that thing looks pissed. But I suppose if you carried around a giant plant on your back all the time you'd be pissed to.
Gen. 2:
Generation 2 introduced the concept of making things really bright and pretty :)
OOOOOOOOOOOOH.....
But then Crystal began to make me concerned for Bulby's well being.
IT'S LIKE THE SCENE FROM ALIEN! GET THAT THING CHECKED OUT!!!
Gen. 3:
Bulbasaur is now a veteran of 3 generations, and he has some sweet moves
Work that fat little bulb of yours out!
Gen. 4:
Our little buddy shows us some more moves that, in a way, defy the laws of physics.
Then in the Gen 2 remake, HeartGold and SoulSilver, our friend goes from alien to predator.
SPRITE RATING: 6
TCG Art:
Our little boy started up a chubby little freak.
But like his sprites, he knew he had to get in shape.
(Cue montage music)
It's the, EYE OF THE- oh sorry.
Pretty Cool, but I'm gonna have to subtract points for some of Bulby's more... lets just call them WTF pics...
Uhhh... Watcha doin' there?
HALLELUYAH!!!
(Either that or he's about to puke)
TCG RATING:1
ORIGIN:
This pretty fella', the Dicynodont (pronounced whatever way you feel like pronouncing it) is a mammal like reptile, much like bulbasaur.
I would go into details, but it's Sunday, and I don't feeling like learning anything.
Read About it here:

Gotta love wikipedia!
As for the hunk on its back, lets just call it an onion.
ORIGIN RATING: 6
There you have it! Some other facts about bulbasaur:
-In the Gen. 5 Sprite, bulbasaur is actually seen throwing his bulb OFF OF ITS BACK
WHAT? YOU JUST CARRY THAT THING AROUND!?!
-Bulbasaur is the mascot of Bulbapedia, the site that I also happened to get the sprites from.
I would like to acknowledge Serebii.net as well.
OVERALL RATING: 4
