>Gamefreak thought an ugly monster that doesn't appeal to kids in any way as a mascot for their very first game would be profitable and make revenue
>Nintendo realized that wasn't the case, and pretended that Venusaur doesn't exist in Red/Blue release
>GameFreak remade the games again as FireRed/LeafGreen, featuring Venusaur with an even worse, more unappealing re-redesign.
what were they thinking?

I wish there was numbers for R/G's release. I guess its obvious enough though Green didn't sell as much.

Bulbasaur is still a starter though. And a weird one at that.
Bulbizarre

If Venusaur was profitable they wouldn't completely shaft Venusaur on a worldwide release genuis. Yes it's about the colors but money comes first, Venusaur obviously didn't bring them money so they thought it's safe to ignore it.

Yes you retard. The design of the game's box matters.

why are you pretending those two things are mutually exclusive? Designing the colors to match the culture leads to more sales.

I know, and if you read the OP message again, I said they featured Venusaur again with LeafGreen despite it being less profitable than Blue in worldwide scale.

Probably because Pokemon was already entrenched. Why put in effort to snag a foothold when you already have one?
