Also, why would anyone hate Torterra because of the tree? If anything, it shows how powerful it is by carrying a fricking tree on its back. Plus none of the stages look retarded in any way.
It looks like a dipwad. Why is its head 90% of its body? What were they thinking?
Need I say more?
I'm not saying it's not a decent Pokemon, don't get me wrong. I've got a good ole Torterra on Diamond, but why do we need a tree? Flowers were clearly unavailable that day.
We've already got something carrying a plant. We don't need anymore.
