I don't have outfits but I do have costumes. If you'd like. Here's what my brain spit out

When we were little my mom made us Halloween costumes that looked really cool. My sister was pikachu and I was Charmeleon. Also one year when we were really little I was Pooh Bear dressed as a honey bee (adorable! ) and my sister was piglet.

Anyway here's some ideas for you, hope you break your art block!

Ahwww thankies love! These are so cute!

And omg I wish my mom would've done that when I was a kid. I would've loooooooved having adorable lil costumes and matching with my bro!

And thanks for the thoughts, work's been hectic lately so motivation is pretty low. But so far, I'm having fun doodling these!

I just had a seriously depressing thought. Charmander. How’d Char take it about Ash being dead? Especially since in the canon series Char had a major disrespect arc between him and Ash up until Johto, I’m curious about that if it wasn’t already answered?

Charmander was *Suffering*

Despite Ash being dead long before he knew Charmander, It's that sort of thing that's like- "Maybe if i met him sooner he'd be alive-" "Maybe if i ran away" "Maybe If I-" "I could have-" "I SHOULD have-"

He spirals into what if's and maybes. Thinks itd have been really cool if they met when Ash was still a kid

But then he evolves into Charmeleon and suddenly it grows bitter.

"Why did I have to save him?" ash does not put these thoughts in Char's mind, it's all his own doing. But the thoughts of what if turn into anger and resentment. And it comes to a culmination when he evolves into Charizard.

"How weak do you have to be to die like that?"

He adopts his Original Trainers mindset, Ash is a Gastly, Weak as fuck and apparently, really stupid to die so young.

And Ash saves him

Again

And again

And again.

And his mind slowly shifts, slowly teeters the blame but Charizard wants to be stubborn. He wants to hold onto that belief because if it's nit true, then he was nothing but a disgusting pokemon.

And when it clicks, the spiral is devastating. And he admits all his thoughts to Ash and Pikachu. And all he gets is hums in return.

"I was pretty stupid, wasnt I?"

"You tried to save someone else." Charizard argues back. "Its not Stupid. You were scared and desperate to help."

"Doesnt mean it's not dumb of me." Ash corrects softly, a warm rag dragging against smooth scales. "I... I think about it sometimes. How if i had done something different, would things be different?"

And he looks up at Charizard and smiles.

"I think it could have. But i'll never know. At least i got you all out of it."

And Charizard cries for the rest of the night, holding his fragile little trainer close.

He's dead, He's dead, He's dead.

And it wasnt anyones fault.

Soooo if twig uses sticks as a charmander, saplings as a charmeleon, does that mean she’ll straight up rip trees out of the ground as a charizard??? She would be too powerful (especially if she lit them on fire—criminals beware when she takes Magnezone’s bounties to come whoop your butts)!

That’s a really fun idea! By the time Twig evolves a second time, I think she’d be comfortable enough with her typing that she could start learning to control fire more— she’d be a bit clumsy with it, but who needs finesse when you have GIANT FLAMING TREES to hurl at your enemies?

I’ve been meaning to redesign charizard Twig. Given her tendency to do very labor-intensive work, she’d absolutely evolve again, and I think it’d be fun if her final evolution took notes from Mega Charizard Y in terms of design— especially with that one Pokédex line where it says that charizard Y draws its increased strength from its bond with its trainer. We don’t exactly have trainers to bond with in the PMD world, but Twig’s bond with her friends and family being able to physically manifest itself in her evolution would be super cool. Especially because she canonically can’t fully evolve— she’d have another partial evolution, but her deep friendships would pivot the evolution away from a standard charizard to a charizard Y, which already looks a lot more like a charmeleon than a standard charizard in my opinion!

(Yes I’m aware that you need charizardite to have a charizard mega-evolve but shhhhhh we’re pretending that it’s a split evolution sorta thing bc that’s way cooler)

I've seen a few people do this, so I wanted to try a couple.

Just changing some shiny colours I don't like. Charizard isn't that different, but I made him a darker black mainly. I never felt it was dark enough to look cool. I actually really hate Charizard's shiny, and I at least wish Charmander and Charmeleon matched it.

Some are super obvious, others are minimal, like Weedle and Caterpie, which are just very slight colour shifts.

Please do halloween headcanons about Leon and Steven ^^

i am well aware that it is 1. past halloween and 2. ages since i last posted but i have been sick (i wasn’t even able to celebrate halloween ☹) and i am a spoopy bitch 365 days a year. plus it’s my blog goshdarnit!

anyways here’s some fun hcs! thanks anon!

Leon

Him and Sonia sed to bring Hop trick-or-treating around Postwick and Wedgehurst when they were younger

Nowadays Halloween is either a cosy affair at home or a party at a friend’s

Pro couple’s costumes HOWEVER you’ll have to organize it because he’s so busy

Partial to a slutty costume on you obvs, but also himself (AKA tits out!)

But not too slutty because he still has a family friendly image to uphold

Not that he’s really posting pictures from a party to his heavily curated social media

If you’re just staying at home, he probably won’t dress up (but will if you ask)

You’ll probably just snuggle up and eat sweets and watch spooky (but not really scary) movies

There aren’t really any children in his building so he doesn’t get many knocks from adorable kiddos on his door

BUT when you move somewhere more cosy and family-friendly

You KNOW it’s a full size chocolate bar house

Leon has a great time handing out sweets to the kids and complimenting their little costumes

Some of them dress up as him and his heart melts

Speaking of children

If you guys have kids you can bet your ass you’re doing a family costume!

Baby’s first Halloween is him in a Charizard onesie, you in a Charmeleon one and baby in a Charmander one

He will continue doing family costumes, even when you have moody teenagers who are "too cool" to dress up

Steven

Halloween wasn’t too much of a thing in his house growing up

But as an adult, he enjoys it a fair bit

He’s not really into the spooky/scary side of it, just likes the fun and cosy vibes (and all the chocolate)

Wallace probably throws an extravagant Halloween party every year, and you and Steven are definitely invited (dressing up is a MUST)

Steven’s Halloween costumes are quite elegant

And yes, he is very pro couple’s costumes too!

They typically involve Steven in a suit (old habits die hard lol)

You’ve been detectives, Indiana Jones style adventurers, a royal couple, space explorers, etc.

The scariest (and naturally, sexiest) costume was when you two went as classic, Victorian-era vampires

One year you went as your birthstones (aka just regular outfits in that colour, decorated with fake gems with matching makeup) and nobody had any idea what you were supposed to be and Steven was VERY aka mildly upset

Also a full size chocolate bar house

Mossdeep isn’t big, so you only get a couple trick-or-treaters every year

It’s good though, Steven is happy to chat with the little ones and the little ones are excited that the champion is chatting to them and giving them big ol’ sweeties

If you have kids, he will gladly bring them trick or treating

And take photos of the kiddos in their cute little outfits

HOWEVER he won’t dress up for it lol

One of your kids dressed up as geode four years in a row and Steven was never happier

thots on charmeleon? i always liked it and wartortle a little better than their final evos. a lot in wartortle's case.

(Tossing Charmander in here for the sake of it. Charizard has already been done here.)

Charmander has an exceedingly simple design; effectively just a bipedal salamander/generic lizard (or perhaps a dinosaur) with a cream-colored underbelly. If I'm being honest, I actually think it's the most boring out of the original three starters—Bulbasaur is a frog/plant hybrid and Squirtle has a long flowing tail, while Charmander only has its tail, which is a much less interesting feature.

That said, the tail does have one really cool thing going for it—its connected with its life force, which is genuinely interesting and adds just enough flavor to help it remain interesting.

And while it doesn't stand out that much in and of itself (Gen 1 nostalgia aside), it does have just enough to make it memorable while leaving more than enough room for the design to change and progress as it evolves, which is really all a good starter needs to do.

One the one hand, Charmeleon is pretty solid visually. I personally prefer the more bony, defined anatomy compared to Charmander's more general body shape, and I think the darker reddish-orange adds contrast and is just generally a nice color.

That said, Charmeleon does feel like it suffers from middle evo syndrome a lot. It really is just a straightforward in-between for its evo and pre-evo, with little in the way to distinguish it except for its color (which, while a nice color, is a bit strange in and of itself. Why does it become darker only to go right back to the orange with Charizard?). That said, that's not really Charmeleon's fault; Charizard just doesn't change enough to really give it many elements to play around with.

I point this out because I think the flame-tip tail is a major missed opportunity for this line. It's the most interesting design element, yet it goes unexplored in favor of solely changing the body shape. I would've loved to see the flames start on the tail and then become incorporated into different parts of the body as it evolves—which, in turn, could potentially give Charmeleon more room to stand out. Perhaps Charmander sports only the tail, while Charmeleon has additional flames along its back, and Charizard has flaming wings. That would've re-emphasized the theme of the line and given each stage a distinct flavor.

As is, overall, this line is perfectly serviceable; Charmander is cute, Charmeleon is nicely designed, and Charizard feels appropriately strong. It's just held back by a bit of that Gen 1 timidness, mostly riding on it being the early-game "dragon" Pokemon in order to make an impression on people rather than having a particularly strong concept or visuals.

[dillweedshole]

right i get to explain Surrender to Madness too, i guess. this is why you don't come up with a cool form and NOT FUCKING USE IT and NOT EXPLAIN IT AT ALL on the blog it belongs to. here's a ping @kaleleaf1012

basically StM was like an alternate form for madhouse!g, but it had like no drawbacks asides from being literally illegal because it's too fucking strong. best thing to compare it to with my own content was like Karrie's Monarch form but it provides a DISGUSTINGLY LARGER boost to G's stats.

the differences between StM and Unshackled is just the added 'wow that hurts,' how she got it in the first place, and it's actual appearance. here's StM's wiki page: https://pokemadhouse.fandom.com/wiki/Surrender_to_Madness

fun fact (actually kinda makes me upset) it shows up literally like 2 times ever in actual madhouse. i did have more plans for Unshackled just because i like alt forms and stuff, but also like, a form that comes almost exclusively from your connection with your gardevoir that's actually high risk high reward is cool.

here's the segment where i bitch about it, 'Surrender to Madness' is a name that's so up-it's-own-ass that it's funny, and the form literally just happens because 'lily got hurt by her meanie parents :(' like lemme suck myself off for a second, Monarch is a form that Karrie earns by dying and going to purgatory, then fighting her way through all of purgatory for a week straight, then usurping the throne and becoming the Queen of Purgatory. Feral is like the second stage to Monarch (like a 2nd evo like charmeleon or some shit) and it's not dissimilar, but it came from a state of primal fear and relived memories, triggering her so hard she grew to twice her own size to completely atomize a Mewtwo. I feel like these forms are allowed to be really strong because it took like 2 deaths and a completely different reality to get them.

Hiiiiiii!! Could you make Pokemon Teams for Rorschach and/OR Daniel/Nite Owl from Watchmen? I feel like they’d have some cool teams!!!

Well leave it to one of my favorite people to get this back up and running. This was surprisingly hard, but I had a good time. I decided to do Rorschach for now, but if the interest is still there I might do Daniel/Nite Owl later ^.^

For now let's take a look at Team Rorschach!

Team Rorschach

1. Charmeleon

I think charmander was his first pokemon. Being the son of a prostitute, poor dude was picked on a lot, I imagine his charmander would literally light fires under his bullies asses. Honestly the thought is extremely hilarious. So why a charmeleon and not a charizard? Charizard is too big...too loud...too noticeable. No one is usually suspicious of mid range or basic pokemon. Charmeleon is very protective and proactive whenever he's on a mission.

2. Ditto

Hear me out: he would totally have a ditto on cases where he would need extreme discretion or on the rare occasion where he was needed in two places at once. That's right: Rorschach's ditto can look like him...so...make of that what you will...

3. Poochyena

In cases where tracking or extreme aggression are called for, Rorschach more than happily utilizes this little dude. Small and convenient, he's also good at getting into tight spaces and looking at things he normally wouldn't think to. Plus his night vision is an added plus. I headcanon that poochyenas jaws lock, and it's bite force is similar to that of a rottweiler: the bigger the skull the harder the bite. And this poochyena...has a biiiig head...just saying.

4. Noctowl

Do I really need to explain this one? He and nite Owl were partners for a long time. I think Daniel caught a hoothoot and gave it to him as a Christmas gift or something. This is the only fully evolved pokemon on Rorschach's team...it's very important to him. Anyway, it also does aerial surveillance and isn't afraid to put enemies to sleep or even knock them out entirely. Don't mess with this noctowl. It will fuck you up. Hands down no question. And if you mess with the noctowl, well, he'll break your fingers...and then some.

5. Marill

Yep, rorschachs got a fairy type, in case he ever has to deal with pesky dragons. Why marill? Because he likes how cute it is,though he'd lie and say he just likes blue (not a lie but a certainly a better reason). Marill is very caring and nurturing, it's very much the emotional and mental support pokemon.

6. Noibat

Okay fine, this one was a biiiit of a biased choice, but I think he'd like this little guy. Noibat is really good at picking up sounds and on cases where quiet is needed, noibat makes a good look out. Rorschach also taught it how to pick open locks. Yep, his noibat could rob you and you'd never know. In fact that's most likely how they met.

So what happened to Rorschach's team after his passing? Well, Daniel and Laurie took it upon themselves to take care of them. Abiding by his wishes, they never allowed them to evolve, the ones that could anyway.

However, oddly enough...his ditto was missing...hm...

Hope you guys enjoyed ^^ I don't know if I'm gonna make regular updates to this blog but this was fun to do ^^ thanks @unfilteredaj for the request!

Feel free to ask for any other character/team and I'll see you in the next one!

Question for Lakota: How did you decide on Argon's name?

Funny story that lol

Well I had Argon back when I just started my first year in college so I was a college freshman and had a charmeleon to care for on top of that. Before I transferred to Ryme University I was at what they call a branch campus for my first 2 years. Now branches don't really have that much to offer like the bigger universities so my classes were limited. There were some classes I had to choose more as credit fill-ups rather than classes that actually benefitted the career I was aiming towards...one was a chemistry class. The first day we had a whole review of the basics, basically everything from what we could remember from highschool chemistry lol. Of course, we went over the periodic table of elements, briefly talked about a few, Argon was one of them and for some reason I thought it sounded like a really cool name, it stuck ever since XD

Appletun? More like appletum I wanna see

Sizing up his target, a lone charmeleon mentally reviewed his plan of action- to steal the wallet right out of this clueless person's pocket. A life of petty crime wasn't what he had in mind for himself, but the attention he’d get from his friends that he was in a gang of thieves was totally worth it to him. Plus, the extra money definitely wouldn’t hurt, it wasn’t his fault people would leave themselves open! All he had to do was prove himself, and there was no better place to do it than here in a secluded part of this park. A large appletun was having a meal at one of the tables here, lazily munching on a sandwich and basking in the sun. There was nobody else around, and they didn’t seem to be paying much attention...now was his chance! Pretending to just be passing by and enjoying the scenery he drew close to the grass type...he could see their wallet there in their jacket pocket! It was as good as his!

Before he could even make the move to snatch their wallet, their large hand grabs his wrist. "Ah ah ah~ Too predictable." He's startled, their soft voice didn’t strike as particularly threatening but their grip told another story. Their eyes couldn't be seen underneath the cute beanie they were wearing, but they had a knowing smile. “Pretty clever of you to try that, people tend to be defenseless when they’re busy eating…who sent you?” Their grip grows tighter and the charmeleon wriggles, realizing that he's just made a terrible mistake. "N-nobody sent me, I’m not with anyone! You just looked like an easy mark! I-i'm sorry, it won't happen again!" Their smile fell as they processed the fire type’s words, letting out an irritated sigh. “I’m sure I did, huh…because you've got a type advantage, right? Or was it just because I just look unassuming and defenseless?"

"L-look buddy, who cares? I said sorry! I won't try robbing you again! Just let me go!" The dragon simply hummed in thought, their thick tail thumping against the ground. "Mmmh…I don't want to waste my energy on a petty thief, it's true. Let me ask you this then…what are you stealing for? Do you really need the money?” He gives them a very confused look, not expecting to be asked why he was stealing from the person he was trying to steal from. “Uh…? I-I don't get why it matters, but it's just for infamy! N-nothin' else! The gang won't let me join unless I can prove I got what it takes, and they're so cool…I gotta join!" He gave them a nervous smile as if his story would get them to take pity on him and release him. The appletun instead scowled, their grip only getting tighter. "It's not out of necessity or for a good reason? You just want to look cool? Do thieves not have any moral codes anymore?" 

"Uh, what?"

"Well, that just goes to show you're inexperienced. Otherwise you wouldn't be trying to steal from another thief. Tell me, do you know anything about a recent robbery from a certain CEO…?” 

The charmeleon stopped his wriggling for a moment and thought about it. He DID hear about some stupid rich CEO that got robbed nearly blind, they didn’t catch who did it but the only traces of anything that were left were a few blades of grass…the calling card of one of the most infamous bands of thieves around! Rumored to be all grass types, they only target high profile people and ensure to redistribute most of what they stole….but why was that relevant? Unless… His eyes go wide in realization. There was no way…they couldn’t be. This is just a weird coincidence! Their smile grew wide, showing off their blunt, but still intimidating fangs. “Name’s Mangri, by the way. Want an autograph from a bandit leader? You think they’re sooooo cool, after all!” Their tone was mocking, and he went right back to wriggling. That was their mysterious leader's name! “Th-there’s no way! You can’t prove that! You don’t even look like-”Mangri clicked their tongue, shaking their head. “You really haven’t learned from earlier about not judging appearances, hmm? Doesn't matter if you believe me now or not, though…you'll hear soon enough. See, you've ruined my lunch with this little stunt. It's gotten all cold. Thankfully, I've caught myself something nice and warm…""H-hey, wait, you can't do this!"

“Oh, I can! Watch~" Without any further delay the dragon's other hand came and gripped him, holding him firmly in place and opening their jaws wide. The poor charmeleon didn’t have the chance to protest as their mouth clamped down over his head. Mangri took their sweet time tasting him with a smile on their face, knowing they’ve got this little fire type beat. Despite the thief's struggling, slow and thick gulps dragged them into their throat. Now about halfway down, they leaned back and hoisted him up to allow gravity to finish their work. Mangri made a pleased hum as their newfound lunch twitched his way down into their stomach, lightly slurping on his tail as they swallowed it down. Now full and sated, they leaned back and sighed happily. They rested a hand on their stomach, only a bit larger looking than before as their meal struggled within. “Let me go! If you don’t, I’ll…!” Mangri simply rubbed over the bulges his wriggles made in them, yawning. “Relax, rookie. You’re not gonna be hurt in there, but caught thieves go to jail don’t they? Think of this as your jail, just…stickier. And gurglier. You’re welcome to keep struggling though, the movement feels good~” And wriggle he did, punching and kicking and making a fuss in their stomach. However the thick walls didn’t yield, only churning and groaning around him harder and coating him in a sticky and strangely fruity smelling nectar. Eventually the dragon won, and he sunk a bit into the pool of nectar worn out.

“Geez, you tucker out quick. Reconsider being a bandit when I let you out.” “You’ll…you’ll let me go?” “Didn’t I say you weren’t gonna be hurt? I’m a dragon of my word, I’ll let you go…just on my own terms.” All of a sudden they shifted, he could feel them standing up. “I’ve got to get back to the base, the boys will be wondering where I’ve gone…we’ve got a new heist to plan, lucky you that you’ll get to sit in on it! Too bad nobody’s gonna believe you if you say anything, you’ve got no proof as belly filler~ I swiped your phone too so you can’t try and record anything, too. You’ll get it back, contrary to popular belief I don’t steal for fun and fame, unlike some people I know.” They paused as they felt him wriggle to presumably check, smiling proudly as a quiet “Damn.” could be heard over the content sounds of their stomach.

And with that they started walking, their gut growling and rocking with every step. With no other choice the thief sat in their stomach, awaiting whatever came next. Hopefully they kept their word…at least he didn’t feel hurt, the nectar was sticky and their stomach was noisy but it wasn’t painful at all. He couldn’t help but wonder…were they really who they said they were? Their skills certainly made it seem like it…

Diary log 2

Today began by leaving the city nearby and hitting the tunnel on the outside of town. Once there, I noticed some Team Rocket guys just generally making shit worse. I thought “wow these guys are kinda cool” despite all the stuff I heard about on TV Anyway. Managed to catch this unknown staryu fusion. Very cool looking, but it’s pretty frail.

Not long after, the team rocket guys came after me... One of them just slung a pokeball in my face, and their fused abomination ended up knocking out my staryu before I could manage to fight back. It unfised, and... Both the pokemon wouldn’t wake up, even after being taken to a pokemon center. It’s rather sad, honestly. But the more I find out about these horrid fusions, the more I understand that they shouldn’t exist. Team Rocket immediately entered my shit list when they tried to do a triple fusion, abusing moon stones and clefairy in order to power their horrid machines. I should’ve believed what the TV told me.

Flash forward a little, and I reached the next city. The second gym is an ice gym- thanks to Bustier, I swept them in record time. No qualms there... Until it evolved. I feel rather bad saying it. But. Look at this thing.

Nasty. A DNA reverser made it... Better?

I dunno. Ugh. I dont like either of them. An adorable and a tough pokemon turned into monstrocities. I powered on. The next route was nothing, I made a few more captures purely for type coverage. OUGH the Koffing-zubat

And Ough the pyukumuku and wartortle fusion

This is how I felt when I saw the two of them, respectively. Cut forward a little, and a man in a pokemon center offered to take the charmeleon out of my nidoqueen, and replace it with an ivysaur! They fill similar ecological niches, and... My lord. It may be my favorite thing ever.

Busty is looking LOVELY And STUN evolved as well! She’s so silly!!

lastly for today, I caught a Raicute!

I... As much as I should be disgusted, this is absolutely adorable. Don’t get attached. Raichy was immediately sent to his maker by some dude who was guarding a ship to the next town. Speaking of. I had to give some guy a back massage? That was weird, but he allowed me to take the bridge off the boat, to the secluded third gym so... I guess I’ll do that tomorrow. This adventure meaning the death of four pokemon so far is beginning to weigh on me. I should really try to minimize casualties...

[littleeyesofpallas]

Been futzing around in pif and my team is horribly unbalanced and suboptimized. Im waiting on my charmeleon to evolve before I throw the moonstone at him and nidorino. I am excited for having a little kaiju ace.

Then my beautiful punch bug attocity just kept getting worse and worse looking with each evolution. They looked so cool as spinakey at first...

I liked Ledyshrew being a little punch gremlin too but the ledian wings really ruined the clean compact silhouette of being just a little dude, and the sandlsash spikes only made it worse. Disappointed

And sad that my cool scrappy looking basilisk just turned into a snake. I wanted it to keep its beak.

Victreedos turned out cool, i just wish his move set had been better.

But the rest of my team has just been a constant flux of disappointments and redundancies. Way too much poison. Way too many bugs.

#0005 - Charmeleon

Imma be honest, I did not know this fuckers English name until 3 minutes ago, and even though I also don't have a lot to say about him I think he's the coolest evolution from the Charizard line.

THAT BEING SAID, I don't really like him too much. He... Idk he exists like that's it.

I have no idea why Charmeleon's body color changes from yellow-orange to red-orange just to go back to yellow-orange when evolving into Charizard but that is kinda goofy.

Honestly I can't say anything else.

✧ —Final Rating

Broness:❤️❤️♡♡♡ (he's a drug dealer so idk)

Edibleness:❤️❤️♡♡♡

Coolness: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (he's definitely the popular kid)

Overall a 7.1!

The Charmander Family

So, when starting a journey in the Kanto region, Charmander is your second choice after Bulbasaur. It’s rather clear this little fella is a Fire type, something pretty common among elements in video games. There’s not much to cover on it, they’re monsters that like to spit flames and sometimes bathe in magma.

The name Charmander would imply a basis in the common association between salamanders and fire, where it was once believed they could pass through flames harmlessly. However, Charmander looks far more reptilian than amphibian. Nothing wrong with that, Bulbasaur already got that base covered!

Charmander itself is a charming little lizard, the fire on its tail is the only thing really communicating its typing, but it's all it really needs I think. Apparently Charmander straight up DIES if its flame is extinguished, too! Is the flame merely an indicator of Charmander’s life, or will Charmander perish if the flame is snuffed out by a stray gust of wind?

After Charmander comes Charmeleon, who likewise doesn’t live up to its name and looks nothing like a Chameleon, barring the horn on its head. Eh. There’s not a lot to say on it, it certainly looks like Charmander’s meaner older brother.

Then we get to Charizard, one of Pokemon’s key crown jewels. Being the mascot of one of the original Pokemon games, it’s pretty easy to see why this cartoon dragon caught the eyes of so many kids who were introduced to the raw concept of Pocket Monsters back in the day.

Charizard is a perfectly serviceable dragon, with jagged bat wings and a horned reptilian head. It doesn’t do a whole lot for me, but I can see where the favoritism comes from. Funnily enough, as has been observed for decades now, Charizard lacks a Dragon typing and is merely Fire/Flying. Guess that means Charizard is only a winged, fire-breathing lizard, posing as a dragon! What a goof.

Oh yeah, like with Ivysaur, Charizard also got a role in Smash Bros as well. Wonder how it feels hanging around with Bowser and Ridley.

Despite being a poser, Charizard stands as one of the most spoiled Pokemon in the franchise after the main mascot, Pikachu. So much so, that it received two different Mega Evolutions! Mega Charizard Y, like Mega Venusaur, is just a normal Charizard turned up to 11. I really appreciate the tattered edges to Charizard’s wings, and the additional spines on its tail. The massive middle horn on its head is a bit silly though.

Mega Charizard Y also gains the ability Drought, causing harsh sunlight to flood the battlefield when it enters the fray. Sunlight, if you didn’t know, makes Fire moves stronger, and Water moves weaker. That’s pretty neat, if you ask me! Some sort of sun-bringing dragon with an emphasis on intense heat is a neat idea for this superpowered monster. A couple other Pokemon have tried conveying an attachment to the sun, but Charizard is subtler about it.

If that isn’t really your thing, though, you can also choose the equally foreboding Mega Charizard X. Jet black with blue accents is an excellent look, and as we all know blue fire is way more intense than the generic red-orange anyways. Charizrd also manages to become a legitimate Dragon type here as well! Good for you, Charizard! The flames constantly spewing from its mouth is a cool touch too, showing off just how heated it’s become.

Charizard would also, rather predictably, receive a Gigantamax form as well. In fact, it was the only Kanto starter to have one before the eighth generation games’ DLC was released. Way to hog the spotlight, Charizard!

In terms of design, it’s fine. It’s definitely my least favorite of the three superpowered ‘zards, lacking the unique colors of Mega X and the thematic power of Mega Y. Having flames for wings is alright too, I suppose. There’s nothing really wrong with it, but nothing immediately striking either.

Score: 3.5/5

For a relatively standard dragon, Charizard has gotten some unique boosts to its design over the years that I can appreciate.
