Project Dex

This is my attempts to write a slightly more... useful set of entires for a Pokedex, it's still not really complete and I will be adding to it in numerical order, one Pokemon per chapter for ease of referance when the number of entires rises. I wasn't really planning on uploading this as it's not a story and might be a bit dry but a few people said I should so I'll follow their advice and upload it anyway ;D. Feel free to use this data in stories if you want, although a point at where you got it from if you do would be appreciated. If you really want an entry on a particular Pokemon that's not here you can PM or email me and I'll write it out/find it for you. Anyway that said please enjoy this project.



001: Bulbasaur

Environment: Bulbasaur are found mainly in large temperate forests however they are hardy and have been found living in almost every wooded area large enough to support their population.

Rarity: Bulbasaur are abundant in forests all over the world however their natural camouflage and shyness means that they are seen relatively rarely.

Age: It is rare to see a Bulbasaur any more than five years old in the wild, although a few do forgo evolution for any number of reasons and any that do can expect a lifespan ranging between 20 and 30 years.

Diet: For the first year of a Bulbasaur's life it is sustained by the energy store in the seed on its back. After this source runs out a Bulbasaur eats low hanging berries and leaves. Because the bulb on its back is incapable of photosynthesis it relies totally on the host to provide energy and as such Bulbasaur need to eat almost twice as much as another creature of similar size and metabolism.

Predators: Bulbasaur hunted by a large number of Pokemon, both herbivores and carnivores consider Bulbasaur prey and although they both ignore the parts that don't fit their diet the results are still more often than not fatal.

Evolution: Bulbasaur evolve between three and five years of age, this exact time changes for each individual Bulbasaur but it is almost always within these boundaries, a few cases of six or even seven years and even fewer of two have been noted however. Evolution is brought on when the bulb and it's host have matured enough to grow, this process can be radically accelerated after a Bulbasaur is caught by both battling and by altering the diet with the earliest recorded evolution occurring after 14 months.

Social: Bulbasaur tend to live alone or in small groups no larger then five; these groups often contain two or three pokemon of different species. They are, in general, timid creatures who avoid combat where possible when forced into a corner they will use stun spore or sleep powder to escape only resorting to other attacks when absolutely necessary.

Mating (pregnancy): Bulbasaur are infertile; although they can mate they feel no urges to do so and even if they did no children would result.
