I’m so glad someone is finally calling out the anti-venasaur bias that is rampant on this website

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

It's disgusting and im sick of it 😤

They are female coded compared to Charizard and Blastoise so of course patriarchal society hates her.

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

huh

Venusaur is an absolute unit. Charizard is probably the most female coded

[-] EndMilkInCrisps@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

There is more than size going on. Plants are feminine, poison is the weapon of women, Venus is feminine. Her size reads very pre-historic earth mother goddess if you ask me.

A budding flower is very feminine symbolism, which is the bulb-Venusaur through line and theme. Venus and Ivy are also feminine names.

“Charizard” is a very masculine name in comparison

We are arguing about Japanese pocket monsters

Ya'll out here with your Poke-alipers

Who thinks Venusaur isn't cute. What's not to love about a weird lump with a whole ass flower garden on its back? Actual clown world if anyone thinks Venusaur isn't cute. Or Bulbasaur. Or Ivysaur

Queer icon. A frog with their own little succulent garden? Slay

I once saw some official pokemon youtube video with Venusaur where he's hopping around like a frog and it made him 1000% more adorable to me.

Bulbasaur and Ivysaur are objectively the best regardless though. I love my frog plant baby boy :bulb:

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

big beautiful stinky boy

My first holo of the main three! I was so excited, made me love Venusaur!

[-] alexandra_kollontai@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

It's okay, I think Ivysaur is cuter.

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

Blastoise was my favorite as a boy, but Venusaur is my favorite as a a man. Competitive Gen 3 OU on pokemon showdown has certainly clarified who is powerful and who is not (Venusaur > Charizard > Blastoise in competitive play)

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

Bulbasaur has always been the best starter. Gimme a big dino boy.

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 2 points 7 months ago

My first starter and always in my heart.

What's hexbear's opinion on mega Venusaur? Comment down below ~~and don't forget to like and subscribe~~

[-] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

All megavolutions are creatively bankrupt. When playing newer games I always stubbornly refuse to use the single-generation gimmick.

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Megas are epic and added a lot to battles and I wish my beloved mega Slowbro wasn't stuck in ORAS. Dynamaxing and terrastalization are busted af though. Z moves are ok

[-] TheDialectic@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

The design in both too busy and not busy enough

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Not a fan tbh. They just stuck a flower on its head, and they made him too flat imo.

Like comment and subslime

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 months ago

I like the flower but think the design is too similar besides that. Its ingame model looks dopey too, but it's better than mega Blastoise.
