When it’s angry, the flame grows and burns intensely. When it is in poor health, the flame weakens. When it’s in good health and happy, the flame burns brightly. (I know there are some exceptions to that rule, but this is a starter we’re talking about.)ĭex Entries and Backstory: Most of Charmander’s Dex entries speak of its tail flame – and the specifics of the tail flame stay true throughout its evolutions. Ash caught Charmander in that episode – of course he was going to stick around. The fact that they were too lazy to look ahead is one thing, but they were also dumb. It’s hard to love a voice rooted in laziness, even if I still find it a little cute. He just jumped into the recording booth, thinking Charmander was a one-off character, and tacked on a high-pitched voice to make him make a sound. (Ash’s) Charmander’s anime voice has grown sour to me ever since I read on Dogasu’s comparison that Pokemon’s voice director, Michael Haigney, didn’t put any thought or effort into the voice. It sounds slightly cute, but also definitely sounds like a growl. On a more objective level, it’s a great cry. I remember hearing that cry all the time when I first started playing the games, and it’s dear to my heart. The gold-ish yellow color could be worse, and it does fit somewhat into a fire theme, but it just doesn’t look good to me.Ĭry/Voice: Charmander’s cry brings up all sorts of nostalgic feelings for me because Charmander was the first Pokemon I ever used in the games. Other than the animations for everything beyond Gen IV looking like Charmander’s trying out for Dancing with the Stars, they’re all good.Ĭharmander’s shiny version never appealed to me. Green looks weird because it makes it look like its nose is bigger than it is.Ĭrystal’s is adorable the way it claps its paws together and calls out to you.

Sprite-wise, Red and Blue are classic and Yellow is adorable. The orange color is great on it, and the fire on its tail is so simple yet such a solid trademark of the Char line. Like Bulbasaur, it has big expressive eyes and a cute smile. Hitokage’s name is cool on paper, but saying it out loud is just the slightest bit awkward to me for some reason.įun fact: It’s French name is Salameche….I don’t have anything to note about that besides the fact that it’s an oddly sexy word.ĭesign: Arguably even more simplistic than Bulbasaur’s, just being a lizard with fire on its tail, Charmander’s design is adorable. Originally, in Japan, it was known as Hitokage, which is ‘hi’ for fire and ‘tokage’ for lizard. It rolls of the tongue quite well while also being kinda cute. Like all Lapras, it has the unique identifier of appearing on the overworld when you're surfing.Name: Charmander’s name is a combination of ‘char’ as in something burned and ‘salamander.’ Charmander’s name, in my opinion, is really nice. Upon entering Route 12, you can speak to a person near the gate who will tell you that this Lapras once saved his life, but he feels he can't look after it anymore, and asks you to take it. After a test battle, Lucario VS Lucario, Korrina gives the player this Lucario. Over time it continues until the player learns about Mega Evolution. However, when she keeps bumping into the player character, Lucario starts to grow a bond with them. This Lucario was one of two Lucario owned by the Shalour Gym Leader, Korrina. These Pokémon have the ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Venusaur, Mega Charizard and Mega Blastoise respectively. When you finally meet Professor Sycamore in Lumiose City, you will also get the choice of one more starter Pokémon, the Kanto starters: Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. #001/004/007 Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle Unlike previous games, you don't get given them by the professor but rather from one of your friends Chespin These Pokémon are Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie.

Like with the other methods, Hidden Abilities are utilised within these giftss #650, 653, 656 Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie Like the other games, there are numerous Pokémon that you don't get by capturing, but rather by a person kindly giving you the Pokémon.
