Giving this random old man a Fushigibana was an unexpected choice but I'm glad the show gave him such a powerhouse.

I also like how Fushigibana can use Solar Beam in the middle of the night, somehow.

OH OH AND BULBASAUR IS FUSHIGIBANA (WEIRD PLANT)

The English localization team for the original Pokemon games doesn't get enough credit for salvaging what might be the worst collection of monster names ever.

The fuck do you mean, Venusaur's original name is "Fushigibana"? Thats literally just "Strange Flower".

not gonna lie i love how the French names for the Bulbasaur line are straight-up translations of the Japanese names

Bulbizarre (Fushigidane/"weird seed"), Herbizarre (Fushigisou/"weird plant"), and Florizarre (Fushigibana/"weird flower")

i wonder if these were originally rejected English names?

I love Paper Theater kits. Finished the bulk of this on stream tonight, but this is the finished product.

Foda que eu ia me sentir muito Ken-sama com a bolsa do FUSHIGIBANA

Addendum:
Upon closer inspection, Venusaur is not as bad an example as I thought
Bulbasaur is "Fushigidane", meaning "Strange Seed" but also "Strange, isn't it?"
Ivysaur is "Fushigisou", meaning "Strange Grass" but "It seems strange"
"Fushigibana" is kinda like "fushigi ka na", meaning "How strange"

3. Venusaur - フシギバナ (fushigibana):

De nuevo tenemos "extraño" (不思議, fushigi); combinado, esta vez, con "flor" (花, hana).

Así, en el proceso evolutivo tenemos: semilla > hierba > flor, todo rodeado de un halo de misterio o extrañeza.

I love the toad-shape you’ve given to Fushigibana 💕
He looks very flat relaxed in the sunshine!

E com 32 horas e 28 minutos (acelerando nas batalhas e viagens ao centro pokémon), e com 45 hiraganas e 24 katakanas memorizados, eu, minha nidokuin, meu fushigibana, meu busuta e meu gyaradosu... derrotamos kyou! 😁

Price on the Venusaur / Fushigibana is probably 50% high. But if that means that the other 2 are 50% high, that's still ridiculously expensive 👀

Pokémon do dia: venussauro
🇯🇵nome em japonês: Fushigibana
🇺🇸nome em inglês: venusaur
Curiosidade: Venusaur está entre os Pokémon favoritos de Ken Sugimori. No entanto, também é o Pokémon que ele menos gosta de desenhar devido ao seu design complexo.

Must’ve been a filler epsiode as none of Bulbasaur’s notable battles seem to indicate a scenerio where this could happen

May's Venusaur
May's Venusaur (Japanese: ハルカのフシギバナ Haruka's Fushigibana) was the third Pokémon that May caught in the Hoenn region, and her fourth overall.
