>>31650814>I would guess that lots of kids watching the show would've begged to differ.I was in middle school at the time. Old enough to know that kids, even kids younger than me, did not care. At least in the US. Bulbasaur was by far the least popular starter anyway.
>Personally I think it would've made more sense for Squirtle to evolve once, at least Bulbasaur had that stubborn personality of his to justify it.I can see where you're coming from with this based on their personalities, though I don't see why Bulbasaur with that bodyguard mentality wouldn't want to grow bigger and stronger. Wartortle would've been acceptable though. Ash used Squirtle a lot but they never touched on evolution with him.
>>31650822>I didn't watch much of the anime beyond Gen IV>Did Charizard ever come back from Charizrd ValleyAsh brought him back in Gen 5 after they saw a Charmander at a Kanto festival. The whole episode revolved around Ash explaining his relationship with Charizard via flashbacks. I don't watch the anime much these days but I did check that one out.
