Pokemon: Black and White trailer

Bulbasaur used Leech Seed
A Pokemon file sharing gag! It had to happen. Wasn’t Bubasaur one of the better but underused Pokemon? Why didn’t the cute critter not just hang back while attacking with its Bulbasaur tentacles? That’s what I would have done! (Via Fuck Yeah, puns!)
