Bulbasaur is BETTER than Pikachu!

Alright. Now's the time for me to show why Pikachu's better than Bulbasaur. As I said in Round 1, I'll be arguing from Design, Competitive Viability, and roles in the anime.Design:Bulbasaur is based off of a dinosaur, but its design is somewhat that of a frog. It has a bulb growing out of its back, walks on 4 legs, and is greenish bluish in color. Here's the bulbapedia article: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net...(Pok%C3%A9mon)Not very appealing to some. Pikachu is a yellow mouse-like Pokemon. Its ears have nice black tips, red cheeks (which store electricity), and its tail is shaped like a lightning bolt. You can just look at my profile picture, but here's the bulbapedia article for a real reference: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net...(Pok%C3%A9mon)Competitive Viability:Bulbasaur's base states are alright for a starter. HP is 45, Attack is 49, Defense is 49, Special Attack is 65, Special Defense is 65, Speed is 45. It's useful for dishing out and tanking special attacks. It resists Fighting, Water, Grass, Electric, and Fairy. Weak to Fire, Ice, Flying, and Psychic, so it's got alright type coverage defensively. It's Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB for short) moves are effective against Water, Ground, Rock, Grass, and Fairy. He also has pretty good offensive attacks, but while it does get Sleep Powder and Poison Powder, those are 75% accuracy, so there's a good chance those miss.Alright, time for Pikachu. HP is 35, Attack is 55, Defense is 40, Special Attack is 50, Special Defense is 50, Speed is 90. While it has low defenses, Pikachu makes a great sweeper. Giving it a Light Ball to hold doubles attack and Special Attack, making Attack 110 and Special Attack 100. Bulbasaur doesn't get anything like this.Typewise, it's only weak to Ground, resisting Steel, Flying, and Electric. Its Eletric STAB attacks are effective against Flying and Water types. However, it should get Iron Tail, which is effective against Ice, Rock, and Fairy types, though I'm not seeing it in the movepool. Pikachu makes for a really good sweeper with its attack stats paired with a Light Ball.Roles in the Anime: Ash's Bulbasaur appears in Kanto and Johto, even Hoenn. However, Ash's Bulbasaur doesn't seem to have evolved, though because it refused. Being one of Ash's Pokemon, it does have a number of appearances.Pikachu is Ash's main Pokemon, and is usually the one to deal the finishing blow whenever Team Rocket decides to show up. [I'm a bit lazy, so I'm not going to research thoroughly yet.]Cross Examination:I would like Pro to further explain his Round 1 statements. Mainly, what is the deep meaning behind Bulbasaur? I get he's a budding flower, but that's all that's obvious. You also stated he's the "Hard Mode". That's basically saying Bulbasaur isn't that good of a Pokemon, especially concerning the games.Round 2:"Bulbasaur, when paired up with certain natures, has several IVs that make it really easy to get great stats, such as SP. ATK."You're talking as if only Bulbasaur has Natures. All Pokemon have natures, and each nature adds 10% to one stat, and subtracts 10% from another stat. There are natures that don't do anything, though. Pikachu can also have good natures, like one that increases Speed, lowering Attack if you're going for a Special Attacker Pikachu."Bulbasaur also has moves that are high on PP and good hitters, such as Razor Leaf."PP, or Power Points, are how many times a move can be used before running out of PP, making that move unusable. Many moves have at least 15 PP, which should last quite a bit of time. Pikachu's high attack stats mean Pikachu needs to use up less PP to KO an enemy."Also, Bulbasaur has a whole episode of the anime, and is a character in the whole first season."Versus Pikachu practically being the star of the entire franchise, and having a few episodes (I'll need to research for specific episodes where he's the main character. I suggesst you do the same).
