Bulbasaur

Some people saw three starter choices and never had a decision to make. Bulbasaur was the answer. That stubborn starter loyalty is exactly why it belongs in this bracket. It doesn't have Charizard's spectacle or Pikachu's spotlight, but fans who picked Bulbasaur early tend to defend that choice like it happened yesterday. A matchup with Charizard reopens one of Pokémon's oldest playground arguments. Eevee turns it into two completely different versions of cute. And Pikachu asks whether starter attachment can beat the franchise's most recognizable face. Bulbasaur doesn't need everybody's vote. It just needs enough people who still insist they chose correctly.
