Entering the double digits! We won’t leave any time soon though.
Oh boy, where to begin. First allow me to note that I drew an unamused Bulbasaur being unamused and Gary Oak saying “I know, right?” to a Squirtle. My life is complete.
Now for you all who might not know – Bulbasaur’s Japanese name is フシギダネ (Fushigidane). While the intended meaning was most likely “strange seed”, it could as well mean “strange, isn’t it?”, since Pokemon names don’t use kanji to pinpoint the right meaning. Hence the joke of everybody being jerks to poor Bulbasaur.
There’s also the fact that the pun isn’t really that funny. And it makes it even funnier. Strange isn’t it?

wow… That.
Is.
A Very.
Clever Joke.
I’m glad someone else gets the Japanese jokes in Pokemon names. XD I think Pokemon gets 10X funnier when you know Japanese, because all of the puns.
