And its moveset makes it pretty useful as a cleric.
And honestly, my first game was HeartGold (...I started in my early twenties, I had discounted Pokemon as being for 'babies' when it came out originally when I was eleven), so there's the sentimentality factor of it literally being my first Pokemon. Plus, honestly, I muddled through well enough, despite making quite a few basic errors. (Adamant nature with Petal Dance. It still worked perfectly fine in-game. I've since transferred him to X and set him up with Petal Blizzard and Earthquake, which is pretty fun.) Basically, Meganium was my first fully-evolved Pokemon, Chikorita was my first Pokemon, period, and I'll always love that line for being the first to go on a Pokemon adventure with me.
