Bulbasaur

This article has recently been at WP:FAC (see Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Bulbasaur1 and Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Bulbasaur for the super-duper extended nom) and had a peer review (that I delisted pretty sharpish - I was impatient, what can I say?). Since the FACs, it has had a major rewrite ([1]) and I feel that it's really ready to be FAC now. I even got a few opinions from IRC users who know nothing about it and acted upon their comments. --Celestianpower ^háblame 20:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Shall I take this lack of response as a "Wow - this is such a pefect article!" or not? --Celestianpower ^háblame 18:19, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I personally would care to see more pictures, but this may just be me. Pictures of:

1. A screenshot of a Bulbasaur in Pokemon Stadium or likewise games

   Hmmm, I don't know how I'd do that one - I don't have the game. I can find one on the internet but legal issues abound where that's concerned. --Celestianpower ^háblame 22:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

2. Several more shots of Bulbasaur in the anime, perhaps including Bulbasaur and Melanie, pictures of Bulbasaur in the Johto League Conference, with Squirtle and/or Heracross or that Gloom he fell for in one episode, and Ash and May with their Bulbasaurs together (there was one episode after May got hers where they both had their Bulbasaurs) I would take pictures from Serebii myself and upload them, but for some reason I can't save the pictures off their site, meaning I can't just right click and save pictures to my computer; if you could tell me how to do that I'll upload some myself. Also, I don't know how legal that would be to have more pics!

   Yeah, that might cause a heap of trouble. --Celestianpower ^háblame 22:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

3. A stuffed animal Bulbasaur would be cool. They sell some at this store a few blocks from me, and if I'm bored someday soon I could trek down there and take a picture of it, borrowing someone's camera.

   I've got a plastic one I could photograph if I got myself a camera. That'd work. --Celestianpower ^háblame 22:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

More references would also be good, especially in the anime section; links to the episode page on Serebii.net would look great. I'll try doing that myself soon (at least, when I don't have a midterm exam in two hours!)

Okay, I'll leave that to you. --Celestianpower ^háblame 22:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Also, I know this may be original research, but perhaps a section on how useful Bulbasaur can be in battle (at least, when it evolves into Venusaur). Just how it is immune to Toxic and Leech Seed, is resistant to a good number of types, and has high defense status (perhaps calling it a "Tank"). Personally I would love to see this article be FAC! While I'm not that into Pokemon anymore, I still love Bulbasaur a lot. But I know there are a lot of bashers out there that might not let that happen. This weekend, if I have some time, I'll try to improve this article myself and see what can happen! Good luck. --TheWindshield 18:46, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Lots of people supported last time (it was very close then) and it's had a full rewrite since so it should pass with flying colours. I do agree, those bits could be made a bit more of in the relevant paragraph of the "video games" section, but make sure you don't mention "tank". --Celestianpower ^háblame 22:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
