Bulbasaur
Bulbasaur, known as in Japan, is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's ''Pokémon'' franchise. Designed by Ken Sugimori, their name is a combination of the words "bulb" and "dinosaur." First appearing in ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'' as a Starter Pokémon, they later appeared in subsequent sequels, spin-off games, related merchandise, and animated and printed adaptations of the franchise.
Known as the Seed Pokémon, Bulbasaur can survive for days solely on sunlight. It is a central character in the anime, being one of Ash's main Pokémon for the first season, and a different one later being obtained by May. It is featured in various manga, and is owned by protagonist Red in the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga. Bulbasaur has been featured in myriad pieces of merchandise, including toys, key chains, and plush dolls.
==Conception and design==
The design and art direction for Bulbasaur was provided by Ken Sugimori, a friend of the creator of the ''Pokémon'' games, Satoshi Tajiri. The species first appeared as one of three starter Pokémon the player could choose from at the beginning of the initial Game Boy games, ''Pokémon Red'' and ''Blue'', released in Japan in 1996.〔MacDonald, Mark; Brokaw, Brian; Arnold; J. Douglas; Elies, Mark. Pokémon Trainer's Guide. Sandwich Islands Publishing, 1999. ISBN 0-439-15404-9. (pg 192–195)〕 Its Japanese name, ''Fushigidane'', is a combination of the Japanese words for and . In translating the game for English speaking audiences, Nintendo gave the Pokémon "cleverly descriptive names" related to their appearance or features as a means to make the characters more relatable to American children; thus ''Bulbasaur'', relating to both its dinosaur appearance and the large garlic-shaped bulb on its back. The idea to feature Bulbasaur and the other ''Red'' and ''Blue'' starters in a significant role in ''Pokémon X'' and ''Y'' came about a year and a half into the development of the games. The Mega Evolutions for the three Pokémon's final forms were created, and the designers decided that they should give players an opportunity to find one of these Pokémon in order to see their Mega Evolved form.
