Review: Bulbasaur

As the original Grass/Poison starter, Bulbasaur often gets overlooked compared to Charmander and Squirtle, but it's a reliable partner with solid stats and early access to Sleep Powder. In my first playthrough of Pokémon Red, Bulbasaur helped me breeze through Brock's gym. I love its design and the way it evolves into Ivysaur and Venusaur.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Review: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

The ninth‑generation games bring an open‑world experience to the Pokémon series. The Paldea region is vibrant and full of life, though the games suffer from some technical issues. I enjoyed the freedom to tackle gyms in any order and the new Terastalize mechanic adds depth to battles.
