Germinator

Germinator was Brown Dunne's first Pokemon. He received it as a Bulbasaur from Professor Samuel Oak on the first day of his adventure.

Plot

After receiving Bulbasaur, Brown managed to defeat Blake's Charmander in a battle, and after healing they set out to Viridian City upon Professor Oak's request.

On Kanto Route 1, Bulbasaur used Growl to scare away a pack of Rattata that were attacking Jordan Share. Jordan, admiring Bulbasaur's strength, suggested the nickname "Germinator", which was a pun on "germinate" relating to its Grass-type, and "Terminator", to make it sound strong.
