New Discourse: is the animal part of bulbasaur meant to be a frog or a really fat dog?

Dinosaur

checking bulbapedia; while in english it has the -saur ending implying it’s a reptile, and i think the german name implies it’s a lizard too, it’s mandarin chinese name is literally “wonderful frog”. the japanese name means something like “mysterious seed”, and all the remaining languages seem to follow that theme and reference its plant-ness instead of any specific animal it resembles.

however, a counterpoint: it’s a Fat Green Dog
