Grass Starter theme

Amphibious animals is hardly a theme. By that logic the grass starter theme is animals that live on land.

Planimals

Venusaur is a thing with a rafflesia on its back
Meganium has flower petals around its neck
Sceptile has seeds on its back
Torterra has a tree on its back
Serperior has leaves on its tail
Chesnaught is a hedgehog mixed with a chesnut

>>29664835
chesnaught literally has a turtle shell and decidueye descends from dinousaurs (bird) so the reptile theme is still a thing

>>29664835
...prehistoric animals/dinos you moron

Loosely based on prehistoric animals. Venusaur is a proto-mammal (it has those ears,) Meganium is a sauropod, Sceptile is a dromaeosaur, Torterra draws some inspiration from ankylosaurs, Serperior draws some inspiration from titanoboa (this one is the hardest to associate imo,) and Chesnaught draws inspiration from doedicurus.

Torterra is the worst Grass starter. Just wanted to get that out of the way. Come at me Sinnohfoeti.

No shit? They have those things because they're grass type. Thats like saying the Fire starters theme is animals with fire on them.

Grass starters theme is prehistoric or extinct animals.

chesnaught is by far the worst

>Thinks badgers are rats
>Thinks foxes are dogs

This one makes the most sense, i understand that decidueye is an extinct species of owl but how is chesnaught extinct?

>>29664835
Prehistoric animals is probably the go to answer, but it's a really weak link for some of them.

Meganium Sceptile, Torterra, and Chesnaught have clear inspirations from various dinosaurs and an extinct mammal, but a giant snake and a giant owl are hardly great examples. Almost any pokemon can be called a prehistoric animal in this way, since every animal has extinct relatives that look damn near identical. What could possibly break this theme? A domesticated animal?

Also, personally I find Venusaur's similarity to proto-mammals coincidental. I know a lot of people point out the ears, but proto-mammals didn't have ears.

>Fire starters Chinese zodiac
This is the dumbest fucking bullshit ever written.

Just a generic reptile since its counterparts are reptiles.

It looks like a glyptodon crossed with a ground sloth.

>>29664998
Doedicurus? Just look at Chesnaught's shell.

The OP thinks that foxes are dogs, and badgers are rats.

Grass starters are based off plants
