My favorite thing about the Chikorita line is playing the Johto games after picking Totodile. Your rival is so angsty and keeps going on about not using weak pokemon. Meanwhile his ace is a plant-dinosaur with the dumbest happy-go-lucky grin on its face
It’s a rare example of the middle-final evolutions being cuter the than the first stage imo I think chikorita would be more likable if it was more obvious it was a dinosaur in its first stage
I’ve always thought Chikorita was cute as heck and I’m devastated to have discovered the internet has never agreed with me but I don’t care I love you little green friend
