An electric mouse. A blue turtle. A fiery salamander.
The reference point for many (early) Pokemon is not too hard to decipher. But new video footage from Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! — there’s a Pikachu version but Eevee is queer — suggests that we might have misjudged Venusaur and its earlier evolutions. The “saur” certainly suggests that each of them is supposed to be some kind of garden-based dinosaur (and therefore, related to flying pokemon *winks*), but this footage shows Venusaur hopping around like a frog.
See for yourself.
As Kotaku pointed out: the people, they are shook.

People even started to make drawings to explain this revelation about Venusaur’s gams.

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
At six feet seven inches and 220 lbs, Venusaur is repping for the thicc, agile girls.
We stan.
