Description
Here it is, the colour vertion of bulbasaur, hope you like itBulbasaur are interesting little animals as they are Synapsid's (dicynodont), both mammal's and reptiles. They have warm blood but have strong characteristics of reptiles such as its skin ans skeletal structure.
However the most striking and rare feature is its bulb that grows from its back. Bulbasaur are a member of a small group of animals that have a symbiotic relationship with another living thing to survive. The plant absorbs sun light and turns it into food which energises both plant and animal, while the bulbasaur eats food and drinks which the plant can also feeds off allowing it to grow strong even through the night.
The plant boosts the Bulbasaurs amune system which gives the animal strong defences against infection, viruses, illnesses and poisons. Now, because of this symbiotic relationship the bulbasaur cannot survive without the plant in its body.
When the Bulbasaur is first born the mother Venusaur emplants a seed into its back, for the first few days after being born they are at a very vunrable stage and many babies do not survive, luckily the plant grows very quickly once emplanted and creates the amune system for the new born.
It is impossible to emplant a bulbasaur seed into another pokemon as the plant will kill it by growing into vital organs.
The plant grows into its spinal chord allowing messages from the brain to reach the plant, allowing the animal to control some of the plants function such as vine whip, a move the Bulbasaur is famous for. The stronger vines grow down through holes in the shoulders and combined with muscle tention and vine control can use them as powerful weapons.
As the Pokemon grows the bulb gets heavier, at a younger age the Bulbasaur can lift up on their hind legs but as it grows it looses this ability as the bulb slowly gets heavier and heavier.
As they are young they do not breed, but this doesnt mean they cant, it is simply healthier for Venusaurs to breed as they are the only ones with a fully grown plant to implant seeds. Only Bulbasaurs that have bred in captivity have sucessfully had young with no fatalities as the trainer/ breeders order in Venusaur seeds, but this is not recommended.
As most pokemon Bulbasaurs must undertake a methamorphasis/ evolving to survive as they get healthier and stronger, if they do not evolve their life span is dramatically reduced. They have been said to have similar intelligence to a dog which makes training easier.
They have varied personnality but most of the time they are loyal creatures, and are seen as one of the easiest starters to train.
They are one of the main starters in Kanto, which means they are indangered. they are given out to trainers to build their strength and to evolve them so they can get more Venusaurs for the breeding process. It is hard to evolve a pokemon such as this without training and plenty of excercise and experience, something the breeders do not have time to do, so it becomes the trainers duty to eventually breed their pokemon.
Sadly venusaur are hunted for their flowers and sometimes Bulbasaur are killed in the process. It is illegal to hunt these animals and many of the last wild Bulbasaurs etc are kept in sancturarys to protect them. This is why they are so rare and why they must be rescued from the bring of extinction.

Yes they are, thats why they are handed out as starters, so trainers evolve them and eventually breed them. its also the reason why you cant catch starters in the wild.

If i was a member, i would write a critique... but i'm not... so i'll just give you a bit of feedback
This one looks very blocky. He has a stiff composure, and a strange anatomy... the legs just seem to big, and long for that matter.
I'm not a fan of this one, as much as the last one...

Well the last one was too cartoony, this one is looking more at the original design which technically shouldnt be able to walk lol but i changed it up a but by looking as Placerias, which is more anatomically like this, granted you cant see the quat very well here

This is just me, but the bulb ironically looks like lettuce. So Bulbasaurs grow up with symbiotic killer lettuce on their backs. I believe I find this hilarious. Seriously though, I just appreciate how centered this is so you can get a good look at him without him being dwarfed by Venusaurs and Ivysaurs. That and all the features we say from the original are there, so I remember the eyes being red. Though why that was is beyond me. Red eyes only appear with albinos in nature so its understandable that realistic Bulbasaur would not have red eyes all things considered.

Your right, i personnally wouldnt give them red eyes, unless you claimed it was some sort of hormonal imbalance caused by the plant that gives it the lack of pigment in its eyes. Plus why do they have white pupils essentially, that annoys me, but i have to keep to the original design essentially.

Youd think that but looking at the orginal design and many early dinosauric life, its not that obsured, plus they live in marshy eras, them more floor space covered the more the body weight is dispursed, stopping sinking, bit like snow shoes but with mud lol

woah, impressive, gonna check out the original and compare in a bit, i really like this though. the eye is a little odd but it gives that newborn curious baby feel to me, this is a bit random but can the Pokemon evo bulbasaur use vine whip, if so how?

JoshuaDunlop In reply to platinumtyrant [2009-07-23 17:39:15 +0000 UTC]
Yes it can, the vines of the plants grows in its spinal chord and brain, allowing the bulbasaur to controll the plants vines, which can also grow from small holes in its shoulders, over thousands of years of being symbiotes the bulbasaur has adapted perfectly to adopt the plant, so much it cannot survive on its own
