He really deserves better tbh.
Always getting overshadowed by the Typomaniac/Rare Candy trio n' shit. 😭

Facts about the Bulbasaur Family
1. Ivysaur was originally bipedal
That’s right, Ivysaur was initially depicted as being bipedal. Pokemon Red and Blue had a lot of sprites that have differences from how they are depicted today and many fans agree that they are odd. However, some Pokedex entries also imply Ivysaur being bipedal, at least until its flower grows too large. Its original Red/Blue entry states “When the bulb on its back grows large, it appears to lose the ability to stand on its hind legs.” Later games, including Sword and Shield, repeat this entry.
2. Ivysaur was also the first Pokemon created out of the Bulbasaur family
Ivysaur was one of the very first monsters created for the Capsule Monsters pitch, before evolution was even conceptualized. Venusaur was later designed as its evolution, who was then used to base Bulbasaur on. This makes Bulbasaur the last of its family to be created.
3. The flower on Venusaur’s back is based on the corpse flower
The flower on Venusaur resembles the rafflesia arnoldii, which is also known as the corpse flower. It is a large flower with a strong and foul odor which is often compared to decaying fish and rotting corpses.
4. Bulbasaur is only one of two starters to have a dual-type in its base form.
Bulbasaur is a Grass/Poison type and was the only base starter to have a second type until the Grass/Flying Rowlet was introduced in Generation VII.
5. The names of the Bulbasaur family were censored on the GTS in Generation V
The censor for the GTS censored Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur because their names contained the letters ‘sau’ which also happened to spell an offensive German word. Because of this, players had to nickname their Pokemon from the Bulbasaur line if they wanted to trade them.
6. Venusaur is the first Pokemon in the national dex to have a gender difference.
It may seem subtle, but starting in Generation IV, Venusaur gains a small gender difference. Females have a seed in the center of their flowers that males do not. This seed disappears if a female Venusaur mega-evolves or gigantamaxes since gender differences are not retained.

Orange League, Episode 22 - A Monster in the Sewers!?
After a long journey across Great Prairie, Ash comes at last upon Big City/Trovitopolis, the largest city on Mandarin Island. Or he would, but Team Rocket's experimental new pitfall mines work a little too well, blasting everyone (including the Rockets) into the sewer network.
They're rescued shortly after, but not before Bulbasaur is abducted by a mysterious monster living in the sewer. The mayor swears everyone to silence in order to protect the impending vote for his re-relection, and reveals his plans to send down a squad after it. He calls it an extermination squad but they're only armed with birdlime so it's ambiguous what their job is here.
Ash decides to head into the sewers and find Bulbasaur and the monster before the mayor's forces can. To that end, he transfers Muk onto his team. Muk tracks the mystery creature to its lair, revealing it to be another Bulbasaur - One cruelly abandoned by the mayor many years ago out of spite for not evolving fast enough.
So Ash goes full Antifa, teams up with the "sewer monster", and beats the shit out of the mayor and his extermination squad. Thunderbolts and Vine Whips for everyone. While also airing the mayor's dirty laundry for the public in hopes that he won't be re-elected.
Okay! Given that this show is so pro-cop that it even has a recurring Officer Justice hero lady character, I wasn't expecting the final statement on the mayor to be "He's an absolute monster and we should kick him in the genitals." Really goes to show the difference in how media views democratic politicians versus police. They even gave him his own special squad so Ash could fire off Fuck The Police Thunderbolts without tarnishing Officer Jenny in the process.
Once that's settled, Jenny and Joy give Ash directions to the Gym. Yeah, it's not actually in Trovitopolis. Lorelei gave him bad directions. What a jerk. He needs to go to Yuzu/Trovita Gym on Yuzu/Trovita Island nearby. Trovitopolis does have a ferry to get there, though!
I see what the dub did with the "Trovitopolis" and "Trovita Island" thing, to try and make them seem more connected. But no. Ash's Gym is on another island.
