Ash's Bayleef/Anime/Personality and characteristics

In the early part of the series, Bayleef developed what seemed to be a crush on Ash, constantly fighting for his attention and trying to get his approval. As a Chikorita, her personality was stubborn, passionate and sometimes violent. She easily gets jealous of the attention Ash’s other Pokémon receive — especially. However, some of her more extreme personality traits seemed to have mellowed with evolution. She has proven to be a powerful and tactical battler, often using her vines to restrict her opponent's moves (clamping Houndoom’s jaw and Machoke’s arms) or even as a propeller to become airborne, a move later copied by Gary’s.
