Quoted By:
Man, Sugimori really despises the Venusaur line from all his heart. This is the 4th time in row that he made an official artwork of these two starters without any member of Bulbasaur line.
>not a single artwork of Venusaur in Gen6, but there are for Charizard and Blastoise with the main protagonists
>no Venusaur in one USUM artwork that features the other starters + Eevee and 15 other Pokemon.
>no 'Saur in Pokemon Quest cover art while all the others are there
>no 'Saur in LGPE artwork in here too.
Good lord, it's the only Kanto starter he personally designed and look how much he loves his own work.
