Its not directly named after the pokemon, rather than it is named so due to bulbous snout.

>“Regarding the name, it is common taxonomic practice to name new species after prominent features of the organism,” lead author Christian Kammerer, Ph.D., of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin tells Inverse by e-mail. “In the current case, the genus Bulbasaurus (bulb lizard) refers to the bulbous nasal boss and the species phylloxyron (leaf razor) refers to the sharpened beak for slicing through the planet material it ate.”

>“That said,” Kammerer adds coyly, “similarities between this species and certain other squat, tusked quadrupeds may not be entirely coincidental.”
