Venusaur has been around since Pokémon Red and Blue. Yet, the latest footage from Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee! gives a very good look at how the character gets around. It’s freaking some people out!
Have a look for yourself
Its legs don’t look that strange in motion but look closely…
フシギバナの足こんなに長いのか…

OOF. Seeing Venusaur's legs stretched out while it's running feels extremely cursed pic.twitter.com/KauH6BI2r7

This shouldn’t freak you out though
if you saw this thing in a dark alleyway bounding towards you at a fast 80 miles per hour and quickening still what would you do pic.twitter.com/4c4tCEH0QH

Were Venusaur’s legs always this long?

With those legs, shouldn’t Venusaur look like this?
フシギバナの連れ歩き、走りモーションの脚の長さに驚いた人多いですね。
普段膝曲げて折りたたんでるので、決して短足では無いんです。
とは言えすごいビジュアルでしたね… pic.twitter.com/i7l86qUoq8— たかさおじさん (@ikiro_pkmn) August 3, 2018
