8. Bulbasaur
I am typically resistant to giving Generation I some sort of assumed default high ranking. But all three of the Red and Blue starters are pretty strong. In the anime, Bulbasaur is one of Ash’s most nurturing Pokémon, and I can’t help but stan a protective king. He is the #1 Pokémon in the Pokédex, which means we’ve gotta put some respect on the OG’s name, but while he’s first in the Pokédex, he won’t be first in this ranking.
