A wild trend has been sweeping Japanese X (formerly Twitter) recently: the "Abnormal Adult Female Battle." Women across the platform have been flexing their absolutely wild collections, showing off their dedication to their favorite franchises.
Leading the charge is X user Hoshiko (@h_hoshiko_), a self-proclaimed "Bulbasaur stan" who unleashed her insane collection of the Grass/Poison-type Pokémon. But her dedication didn't stop there! When another netizen asked if she could identify a specific Bulbasaur plushie they owned, Hoshiko not only pinpointed the exact series but also showcased her own complete collection from that line, even identifying its release year. Naturally, the internet crowned her "Professor Bulbasaur," and the story quickly went viral.

Hoshiko was the mastermind behind the "Abnormal Adult Female Battle," kicking things off by posting a mountain of her Bulbasaur merch and declaring, "Abnormal Adult Female Battle? I won't lose!" This instantly ignited a massive collection-sharing frenzy across Japanese X.

A few days into the trend, a netizen retweeted Hoshiko's post with a plea: "I wonder if this amazing person knows which series my 'Kantan Fushigidane' (Easy Bulbasaur) plushie is from..."
Identifying a specific plush from just its body is notoriously tough, especially for a Pokémon like Bulbasaur, which has had countless plush iterations over the years. It's like finding a needle in a haystack!

But Hoshiko was on it like a Snorlax on a berry! She quickly replied:
"I have a few 'Poké Doll Bulbasaur plushies' here: the 2004 version (right), the 2013 version (middle), and the 2008 version (left). Based on the material, I'd guess yours is most likely the 2004 edition."
Her incredible search skills and the fact that she immediately pulled out her entire collection for comparison left netizens absolutely stunned. This "abnormal adult female" Bulbasaur stan is truly next-level!
Her analysis, even down to the plush's material, was so precise that many users couldn't help but call her "Professor Bulbasaur." To be able to solve a mystery involving such an old and continuously re-released series so quickly? She truly lives up to the "abnormal adult female" title!

It just goes to show that these collection fanatics aren't just hoarding; they possess a博士-level knowledge of their treasures. Their ability to instantly recall such details proves they treat every single item like a precious gem!
