Why did the west think picking Bulbasaur in Gen1 is some kind of sin?

It was the easy mode pick. Strong against the first two gyms and solid against the third. Plus it wasn't "cool" because it wasn't on the boxart.

The major reason though? Literally just not on the cover art for the games so less exposure.

The only time I have ever used a grass starter was in gen 7 and PLA, purely because the Rowlet line is so fucking good in comparison to the other starters, they couldn't even fuck up Hisuian Decidueye.

It makes you a scrub because the first two gyms are weak against grass types.
But Bulbafags are still better than Chartards.
