Ash's Bulbasaur (Japanese: サトシのフシギダネ Satoshi's Fushigidane) was the fourth Pokémon caught by Ash during his travels through Kanto, and the first of the original starter Pokémon that Ash acquired. It is voiced by 林原めぐみ Megumi Hayashibara in the Japanese version. Its English voice actresses are Tara Jayne (Template:4Kids dub; up until Advanced Challenge), Lindsey Warner (AG133 only) and Michele Knotz (TPCi dub).
History
It was raised in the Hidden Village by Melanie, who cared for sick, injured, and abandoned Pokémon. Bulbasaur acted as the village's bodyguard, but after Ash helps defend the Hidden Village from an attack by Team Rocket, Melanie encourages it to join Ash, explaining that its growth is being stunted by staying too long in the village. Although Bulbasaur initially appeared to distrust Ash. In Island of Giant Pokémon, it alone assumed that Ash had abandoned it and the others. Its views on trainers were presumably colored by all the abandoned Pokémon in the Hidden Village. Over time Bulbasaur grew to trust its new trainer.
Bulbasaur is extremely stubborn, surly, and eager to battle. It had the opportunity to evolve, but refused to do so despite facing a mass of Ivysaur as well as a Venusaur who were angry at it for ruining the Bulbasaur evolutionary festival. This allowed him to learn the powerful SolarBeam technique earlier than if it had evolved. It has the heart of a fighter and it never gives up in a battle. It has the determination to keep fighting even if the odds are against it, defeating such varied opponents as an Exeggutor, a Venonat, and a Scyther despite the type disadvantages. During a visit to a garden full of exotic plants run by Florinda Showers, Bulbasaur developed a certain affection for her Gloom, but nothing apparently came of it.
Bulbasaur is the only member of Ash's original team, save for Pikachu, to remain in his care. He stayed with him until midway in the Johto adventures, when he was sent back to Professor Oak's to keep the Pokémon there from quarreling with each other. Bulbasaur later returned in Hokey Poké Balls! to meet May's Bulbasaur, and again alongside Charizard and Squirtle to battle Brandon at the Battle Pyramid, where it defeated Brandon's Dusclops and Solrock (although, admittedly, the Dusclops had already been weakened by Charizard and the Solrock took Bulbasaur down with it).

Trivia
- Ash's Bulbasaur is one of only two Pokémon in the anime to use more than one move that it cannot learn, the other being Golduck:
- Bulbasaur used Whirlwind in The Ninja Poké-Showdown, and has not used it since.
- Bulbasaur has also used Dig in Bulbasaur...the Ambassador.
- In Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, Misty gets stuck with Psyduck in her battle with Ash. Ash doesn't battle seriously and has Bulbasaur simply lick Psyduck's head and tickle it with its vines. This is not to be confused with the actual moves Lick and Tickle, the latter of which was later introduced in Generation III. Bulbasaur still cannot learn Lick or Tickle.
- Bulbasaur is Ash's only Pokémon who refused to evolve after the process began.
- Bulbasaur was Ash's first Template:Type2 Pokémon.
- Ash's Bulbasaur can learn SolarBeam, a move that is only possibly learned via level-up in Generations I to III.
