Appearances In the video games Ĭharmander is a starter Pokémon the player can choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Red and Blue, and their remakes, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. The Mega Evolutions for the three Pokémon's final forms were created, and the designers decided that they should give players an opportunity to find one of these Pokémon in order to see their Mega Evolved form. The idea to feature Charmander and the other Red and Blue starters in a significant role in Pokémon X and Y came about a year and a half into the development of the games. With the help of the Mega Stone, it can further Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X/Mega Charizard Y. When Charmander receives enough experience from battles, it evolves into Charmeleon (at level 16 in the video games), and later Charizard. If the flame were to ever go out, the Charmander would die. When it rains, steam is said to spout from the tip of its tail. The end of a Charmander's tail is alight with a flame, and the flame's size reflects both the physical health and the emotions of the individual. Noticeably, the Charmander artwork made by Nishida for the Trading Card Game in 2018 showed Charmander as having just three fingers on each hand. Said updated design has since been used consistently in the anime, including the movies and specials like Pokémon Origins, as well as in official artwork used in merchandise and in plushies, dolls and figurines, accompanying the artwork by Ken Sugimori as well as the 3D CG models and the artwork derived from those that still feature the four-fingered hand. Since Pokémon Black and White, a new updated artwork was released in which Charmander has just three fingers on each hand. While the Pokémon Red and Green sprites made by Atsuko Nishida featured only three fingers on each hand, like Charmeleon and Charizard, the artwork drawn by Ken Sugimori for those games depicted Charmander as having an additional thumb on each hand. They have blue eyes, red-orange skin, three-clawed toes, yellow bellies, and a single yellow pad covering most of the bottom of each foot. Charmander are small, bipedal lizard-like Pokémon native to Kanto. Ĭharmander is known as the torch Pokémon. As a result, the species was renamed "Charmander", a portmanteau of "char", meaning burnt, and " salamander". Originally called "Hitokage" in Japanese, Nintendo decided to give the various Pokémon species "clever and descriptive names" related to their appearance or features when translating the game for western audiences as a means to make the characters more relatable to American children. Charmander made the cut and in 2019 returned in Pokémon Sword and Shield.Ĭharmander was designed as a fire Pokémon for the first generation of Pocket Monsters games Red and Green (which were localized outside Japan as Pokémon Red and Blue) by Atsuko Nishida, who based its design on Charizard in such a way that it was difficult to tell it would have evolved into the latter Pokémon. This gives it temporary upgraded stats and a damage bonus. Since the release of Pokémon X and Y, Charizard can mega evolve into 2 different types of Mega Charizard, which are Mega Charizard X or Mega Charizard Y, for the duration of a battle. Charmander is used by Ash throughout his adventures and is seen in special episodes in the future.Ĭharmander evolves into Charmeleon at level 16, who then evolves into Charizard at level 36, which was originally its last form. In the series, the narrator stated that if a Charmander's tail flame goes out, it dies. However, because of Damian's abuse, Charmander chooses to follow the group that saved its life, and becomes Ash's Pokémon. When Damian sees how powerful Charmander is, he calls Charmander back. In the episode, Charmander is left by its owner, Damian, and is rescued by Ash and Brock. Charmander first appeared in episode 11 of Pokémon Indigo League ("Charmander – The Stray Pokémon" (The Stray Pokémon – Hitokage)). Since it appeared in the Pokémon series, Charmander has received generally positive reception. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Blue receives a Charmander from his grandfather Professor Oak. In the anime, Ash acquires a Charmander early in the series, and it became one of his most used Pokémon. Gaming the player can choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Red and Blue, and their remakes, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Created by Atsuko Nishida, Charmander first appeared in the video games Pokémon Red and Blue and subsequent sequels, later appearing in various merchandise, spinoff titles, and various movies, animated and printed adaptations of the franchise.
