}}'''Bulbasaur''' (フシギダネ ''Fushigidane'') is a {{Type|Grass}}/{{Type|Poison}}-type Pokémon and is numbered ''001'' in the [[National Pokédex]], making Bulbasaur the first [[Pokémon]] listed. Bulbasaur [[Evolution|evolves]] into [[Ivysaur]] at level 16. It is the {{Type|Grass}}-type [[Starter Pokémon]] in the [[Generation I]] games and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]. This Pokémon is a starter Pokémon for games Red, Blue and Green. [[File:Old_bulbasaur.jpg|thumb]]
  +
  +
==Etymology==
  +
Bulbasaur got its name from the words "'''Bulb'''" and "'''Saur'''" meaning lizard in Greek.
  +
  +
==Appearance==
  +
Known as the Seed Pokémon, Bulbasaur resembles a small, squat dinosaur that walks on four legs and has a large plant bulb on its back. It also has large red eyes and very sharp teeth. Its skin is a light turquoise color, and it is spotted with some bits of dark green. Its most notable feature, however, is the large bulb on its back, which as the Pokédex states was planted on it at birth.
  +
  +
===Habitat===
  +
Since Bulbasaur is a starter [[Pokémon]], it is hard to find in the wild, but can be found living near streams.
  +
  +
==Special Abilities==
  +
Bulbasaurs have "bulbs" on their back which grows steadily larger as the Bulbasaur matures. This bulb contains a seed which uses photosynthesis to supply Bulbasaur with energy. Its bulb is also used to store the energy which the seed absorbs, which can be used when it is necessary. It is assumed that when a Bulbasaur collects enough energy in its bulb, it will [[evolution|evolve]] into an [[Ivysaur]].

  +
==In Anime==

===Ash's Bulbasaur===
  +
''Main article: [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]''
  +
  +
[[Ash Ketchum|Ash's]] Bulbasaur was his first [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]], who he met in a hidden village. Bulbasaur attacked [[Misty]] when he thought she was going to steal an [[Oddish]], but she was really only trying to capture it, not knowing about the forest. He had a chance to evolve, but refused to because he didn't want to. He also learned [[SolarBeam]] by not evolving. He has saved Ash's other [[Pokémon]] in various instances. For example, when [[Snorlax]] fell, it nearly crushed [[Totodile]], but Bulbasaur saved the big jaw [[Pokémon]].
  +
  +
He is voiced by ''Megumi Hayashibara'' in Japanese, and by Tara Jayne and Michelle Knotz in English.
