I like Charmander as much as the next large adult baby, but Bulbasaur needs more love.
I'm curious if any of y'all are dorky enough to have a favourite starter, if so, which one? (Obviously Rowlet is the best one so why am I even asking? :stalin-garrison: )
Bug has actually gotten some pretty serious buffs in Gen VII and VIII, surprisingly. There's new bugs like Vikavolt, Golisopod, Orbeetle, Centiskorch, and Ribombee (Ribombee especially is fucking incredible) that don't peak in strength early the way that a lot of earlier gen Bugs did, Leech Life got buffed to something like 70 power (which is INSANE, pretty sure it was like 20 before), and some new, strong Bug moves like Pollen Puff and First Impression got added. Bug might be in the best spot it's ever been in.
Oh, also, can't foret about :snom: it's a good new Bug with a very good evolution.
I get you, though. I can understand feeling a bit burnt out in the series at this point.
leech life is 80 power. Its now the strongest health stealing move tied with oblivion wing which is legendary exclusive. Its just as powerful as most good attacks.
