Character Sheet: The Bulbasaur Line

BULBASAUR/IVYSAUR/VENUSAUR

Now, going into this, I knew I had to cut it down somehow, and this is how I'm doing it. Moving forward, the general working premise of Pokemon lines is that they will be functionally semi-clones of each other, built on the idea that they are the same Pokemon, just at different stages in their life, so their movesets will be based on each other, just with more advanced moves replacing the basic ones here and there. This logic will also follow with any counterpart Pokemon that are part of a set, such as Sawk and Throh or the Legendary Birds. I'm not going to do the list, because that's just going to be gigantic and anyone can look up the Pokedex.

So, first up, we have the Bulbasaur Line (Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur), the grass starter of Kanto and a weird frog-thing with a bulb planted on its back that sprouts over time into what looks like a rafflesia plant. It is Grass and Poison type, implying toxins contained within the plant itself, presumably. It also has both a Mega Form and a Gigantamax Form, for possible final smashes.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Tackle > Bullet Seed (II)

Side B: Razor Leaf

Up B: Vine Whip > Power Whip (III)

Down B: Poison Powder > Seed Bomb (III)

In general, the Down B's from here on out will mostly be the most expendable moves, since using the Trainer System will sacrifice the move for the switch command.

Final Smash: Solar Beam > Gigantamax OR Mega Venusaur (III)

Entrance: Poke Ball.

Taunts: Actually, from here on out, I want to address something. A lot of the extra things that go on below are not going to be focused on, during the dex sections, since a lot of it will be very samey. Like taunts for instance, a lot of it will just be the animal doing stuff, unless I can think of specific references I want to do.

Kirby Hat: The bulb/plant and top of head.

Kart: I think it's pretty much always going to be that Poke Ball car you see sometimes.

Special Move: Razor Leaf

Spirit Battle: For pretty much all of these, it'll just be a Pokemon battle with the line. Generally on a Pokemon Stadium or on one that fits the Pokemon. I don't know one for Bulbasaur yet, but Pokemon Island might be good.

Victory Screen: Again, it'll probably be general cheering motions from all of these.

Losing Screen: Basically all of them will be the Pokemon fainted, with the swirly eyes.

Color Swaps: This is definitely going to be glazed over, since it'll just be me listing random colors over and over again. Generally, there will be the main, plus the Shiny, then just random colors unless there's a specific reference like Ash-Greninja I want to include.

Thanks for reading! Next up, I choose you, Charmander!
