Bulbasaur, Pokemon # 001


Bulbasaur is the first in the Pokedex,
The first creature on the list.
If you say he’s number two or three,
He may punch you with his fist.
Yes, our sturdy Bulbasaur is a preeminent Japanese fighter.
Poke him and you’ll discover he’s also a first-class biter.

But pray pardon, gentle readers,
Your humble Poke-bard hath misspoken.
For ‘tis not a fist Bulbasaur doth possess,
but a noble elongated stump, unbroken.
It is green, and beneath the stump are three spike-toes.
Now let us all proceed to the nose.

His nose consists of two black dots,
Located above the mouth, in the center of his face.
‘Tis a wide-set lump of a snout, nigh invisible;
Gaze briefly and you’d miss the whole nose place.
Yet the utility of Bulbasaur’s nostrils cannot be understated
Many a time have they sniffed more than was anticipated.

They have smelt fear!
They have smelt flowers!
They have smelt Vulpix!
They have smelt so many crazy smells and what’s really crazy is that sometimes other Pokemon want him to stop smelling because he just smells all the time and so they give him dirty looks but Bulbasaur just keeps on smelling over and over despite their glowers!

Shall I compare Bulbasaur to a dinosaur?
Bulbasaur is like the T-Rex dinosaur- he roars.
He is like the pterodactyl: with wings he soars.
Metaphorically.  Bulbasaurs do not have wings,
If you want to get technical.
But metaphorically speaking Bulbasaurs are also meteorites
that bash crash bang bang bang into Planet Earth
And kill all the dinosaurs with a furious bashing.
 
No, Bulbasaurs cannot literally fly,
but with such words being written, I bid goodbye.
