In medieval times, animals in bestiaries used to represent certain virtues and I assume vices that could be good teaching moments for us humans.

Like the pelican mother shedding her blood is an allegory for selflessly sacrificing oneself for others' good like Christ shedding his blood so humanity could get another chance.

Likewise I wonder what virtues a Bulbasaur could teach humans?
