>>50472418I don't remember exactly when, but I remember there was an interview where one or two leads said they really liked Bulbasaur because it was the quintessential creature design, combining familiar and strange elements into one cohesive whole. Someone on /vp/ probably has the screenie/interview details, so if you keep asking you'll find it.
>You'd think Bulbasaur would be mascot by that logic since it best encapsulates what a "Pocket Monster" is, but that title instead goes to Pikachu, who, if you asked most people, myself included, does it even better.Well he is the first Pokemon in the dex and is consistently depicted alongside Red (I know that Charizard is too) but that's a fair response. I also feel like Pikachu is a top-class design.
