A Pokemon fan has revealed their impressive Bulbasaur collection. At almost 30 years old, Pokemon is one of the biggest media franchises in the world, which has revealed hundreds of Pokemon and characters that have won the hearts of fans.
Among the Pokemon most beloved by fans is the little veteran Bulbasaur. One of the initials of Generation 1, Bulbasaur is a Grass/Poison-type that accompanied many players on their early journey in the Pokemon world. In addition to being one of the best Grass-type Pokemon available, Bulbasaur won players over with its cheerful and loyal nature. In the anime, Bulbasaur has several appearances, most notable for being one of Ash's Pokemon. The first Kanto starter acquired by Ash, Bulbasaur is one of his most mature Pokemon and is often seen as the responsible leader of Ash's Pokemon. Another prominent appearance in the anime is Bulbasaur captured by May in the Hoenn region.
User anastasiastardust shared their impressive Bulbasaur collection on Reddit. The image shows a shelf with various Pokemon items, including several Bulbasaur plush toys, a Funko Pop, and some Bulbasaur figures. The shelf also has a figure of Ivysaur, the evolution of Bulbasaur that is one of the highlights of Gen 1 Grass-type Pokemon along with Bulbasaur's final form, Venusaur. Other eye-catching items include a Bulbasaur mug, a Pokeball with a Bulbasaur inside and a backdrop with some plants, and a Bulbasaur Pokemon TCG: Pokemon Go Pin Collection. On their Reddit profile, anastasiastardust says that their collection has almost 40 Bulbasaurs and that it continues to grow.
Anastasiastardust's post on the official Pokemon subreddit became a hit with almost 700 upvotes. In the comments, users praised the dedicated Bulbasaur fan's collection and shared their love for the Pokemon. One user noted that anastasiastardust has a Dragonite Burger King keychain, a rare and vintage item. Other users commented on the Espeon and Umbreon plush keychains, two of Eevee's evolutions known as Eeveelutions. In response to one of the commenters, anastasiastardust revealed that they use the Zenmarket and Buyee websites, which specialize in selling products directly from Japan, to increase the collection.
While not on the strongest Pokemon team assembled by Ash, that hasn't stopped Bulbasaur from becoming one of the most beloved Pokemon by Pokemon fans. Being one of the Gen 1 starters, the first contact older players had with the franchise was likely with the trio Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. Bulbasaur also stands out for its simple and pleasing design and its protective nature of the younger and weaker Pokemon. These are just a few reasons that make the charismatic Bulbasaur one of the most popular Pokemon among fans.
