>>53404312I haven't watched the anime in well over a decade and my memory is a bit foggy, so correct me if I'm wrong. I remember that Chikorita was a bit headstrong and sometimes standoff-ish with Ash, but after she evolved she started to become more lovey-dovey with Ash almost immediately. Was there ever a reason for this? Or was it literally just Bayleef hitting puberty with the force of a freight train?
