Bulbasaur, known as Fushigidane (フシギダネ, Fushigidane) in Japan, is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise.
Creature description[]
Bulbasaur is the Grass-type Starter Pokémon in Pokémon, and its GBA remake. It can evolve into Ivysaur at level 16, and later into Venusaur at level 32.
Bulbasaur appears as a somewhat small, green, squat, quadrupedal saurian with a bulbous plant growing on its back. As stated in the various Pokédex entries in the RPG series, from the day it is born, there is a plant seed implanted in its back. The seed grows steadily larger into a bulb as Bulbasaur itself grows. Inside this bulb is a mass of seeds filled with nutrients, and the bulb and seeds grow as they soak up the sun's rays. Bulbasaur can often be seen napping in bright sunlight because the energy that gets stored into its bulb enhances the seeds which the species uses for nourishment of its body. It can go for days without actually eating a single physical morsel because of the nutrition its bulb provides.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee[]
While a major Pokémon in its own right, Bulbasaur is only lightly represented in the Smash Bros. series.
As a Trophy[]
Bulbasaur appears as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches. It reads as follows:
- Bulbasaur is a cute Pokémon born with a large seed firmly affixed to its back; the seed grows in size as the Pokémon does. Along with Squirtle and Charmander, Bulbasaur is one of three Pokémon available at the beginning of Pokémon Red & Blue. It evolves first into Ivysaur and ultimately into Venusaur.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]
As a Trophy[]
Bulbasaur also appears as a collectible trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Its description reads as follows:
- A Seed Pokémon. From birth, Bulbasaur carries a large plant seed on its back. It uses the nutrients from the seed to grow bigger and bigger. Extended exposure to the sun will cause its body and seed to grow in size. Some say that once, when the seed was much lighter, Bulbasaur was able to get around on two legs. Bulbasaur evolves into Ivysaur.
