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

Didn't Bulbasaur win the popularity poll?

It wasn't on the box.

Not a dragon
Doesn't have water cannons
Not on the box

it sucked. what faggot picked the giant flower when the alternatives were a dragon anda cannon turtle?

the giant flower is canonically the strongest, both in stats and raw power

>caring about stats when you can have a fire dragon or a cannon turtle

literally no one cared about this in 1998

I like kaijus more than 1.7m not-dragons
blastoise is cool though

turtle with cannons. a fucking dragon. a frog. why would you pick the frog?

>frog
It's a toad, dumbass.

same shit, they're both lizards

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.

You mean reptiles, dum dum

Nobody cared till little billy lost on the playground cause he picked the meme on the box

Shut the fuck up, Cucktoisefags

Plant

It never looked like a frog to me at all and I still can't see it to this day, it just looks like an ambiguous plant(almost turtle to kid me) monster

I named mine Bulby

you lost. you will never change the past

Neither of those are reptiles holy fuck

Charizard had the fire dragon thing, Blastoise had the water cannons and Ninja Turtles made turtles cool. A monster with a flower on its back? Kids thought that shit was for girls.

But none of the starters are dragon type?
