To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand grass pokemon. The strategy is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of status moves most of the pokemon will go over a typical trainer's head. There's also Ferrothorn's stalling outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Skarmbliss tactics, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these pokemon, to realise that they're not weak - they have deep strategies. As a consequence people who dislike grass pokemon truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the thinking in Ferro's existential move "Leech Seed," which itself is a cryptic reference to Sneed's Feed & Seed. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Satoshi Tajiri's genius wit unfolds itself on their console screens. What fools.. how I pity them.
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Bulbasaur tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the aroma ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid
