Description
Dracoaves ignisCharmander - The Lizard Pokemon
Pokedex Number - 004
Type - Fire
Valued as the most popular Kanto starters and an in general pokemon as a whole for many trainers around the world, the Common line Charmander evolution family is also one of the most misunderstood creatures known in modern times. Recent studies and revelations are only now finding out details that otherwise would not have been said aloud. And even with these facts, some still fail to understand the truth importance of such a unique creature. Thanks to a surprising amount of willing breeders, explorers, tamers, and trainers wanting to volunteer in contributing their own personal exposure to this Pokemon and its evolution line for researchers, studies have been able to forge worthy note entries for all to see. These entries are as best summarized as one can be, and will also dive into uncovering the truth behind some of the most common myths put in place for this Pokemon.
Habitat
The average Charmander and its evolutions tend to live in craggy mountainous areas and active volcanoes, preferably near pools of lava, active geysers or geothermal hot springs. The reason many researchers find this pokemon “rare” to find in the wild is due to them living in such dangerously, barely accessible locations for humans. Charmander are usually tucked away in volcano caves and tunnels by their parents, and when danger tries to reach them, they’ll commonly jump into the pools of lava or hot springs for safety. Charizard tend to create rocky nests in tight compartments of craggy mountains when they are ready to lay their eggs. Should another Charizard try to kick them out of their territory, they will jump into a bloody, grueling battle to keep it. Since Charizard are very prideful and do not enjoy losing so easily, it can very quickly become a life or death battle for them, and Charmeleon will frequently relocate their younger siblings while their parents are fighting.
Physiology
The biology of the Common lined Charmander has been evolved and adapted into a - for the most part - suitable creature for the brave and well prepared people of the world. New trainers must take caution not of Charmander itself, but its evolution lines that will be talked on later in the study. The Common line has been recently referred to as the "approved Purebred" variant that professors and breeders tend to give out to trainers, new or experienced. They have been domesticated enough that even the "wild and uncaught" Common Charmander out in the world can be fairly easy to recognize, tame, and own. Compared to their actual Wild line variant, there are some fairly noticeable differences in their size, demeanor, and how they go about living.
It is an over-dramatized belief that if a Charmander’s flame goes out, it will die. This is a complete misunderstanding and miscommunication of the facts of the Charmander line and those like it. The Charmander line’s flame can actually go out and the pokemon can still live. But because most sightings of this species are with its flame brightly lit up , very few considered the other side of the coin to that. Adding fuel to this fire - pun intended - are the reported cases where if a Charmander or its evolution line sadly dies, their tails stop burning and the flame snuffs out. Because of this, people misinterpreted it as if their flames go out for any reason, they are dead. Paranoid trainers quickly spread this myth around, and left most to be hyper careful with water around these Fire-types. Some flat out refusing to give it to them, believing even more insanely that this creature doesn’t need water to live at all and can survive on just primarily moist or dry food alone. This has led to common dehydration sicknesses amongst pet Charmander, some even dying if severe enough, sadly.
The main reason most don’t see a Charmander with a no-flame tail, is that they naturally secrete oxygenated-like oils - primarily from their tail tips - that can ignite into a flaming gas within a second. Some Charmander have larger secretion pores on their tails, leading to larger flames running along them. If they are in the midst of a rainstorm, or got their tails wet, a lot of steam tends to billow off of them. If one tries to touch their tail - which you should NOT, you idiots - the oils can smear onto a trainer’s skin and continue to burn even after yanking away from the burning tail itself. Even more painfully, even if you douse it in cold water, the oils will continue to stick to the skin long enough for a trainer to still feel the burning sensation despite there being no flames and their hands still submerged underwater. This is how reports of second and third degree burns occur when one angers a Charmander or acts stupidly and thinks they can play god and touch its tail.
Basically, a Venn diagram situation with its tail flame. All flames of the Charmander and its evolution line will go out when they die, BUT the species does not die when their tail is put out.
They can intentionally extinguish their own tail flames if they are trying to hide from predators. But, in doing so, Charmander do pose the other looming threat of becoming too thermally cooled off if they are hiding for more than a few hours, especially in winter or in colder climate areas. A shivering Charmander is a Charmander that needs external heat sources to warm it up. It can sometimes heat itself back up by letting loose flames, but it can also lead to more harm than good. Which is why when a predator does find them, most Charmander will let their flames swell significantly as an act of defense and intimidation to scare off the incoming enemy.
As mentioned, the myth has caused many to also believe that this meant the species did not need water. However, this is the exact opposite of what they need. Charmander do, in fact, need water for hydration. Obviously. They can either drink water, or they can lie in a pool of water - preferably warm or hot water - and become hydrated through that. Some will submerge their tails - which can still be lit up even underwater - but most Charmander will keep their tails out of the water by lying them on the edge of land. But another reason people believed for so long that this species didn’t need extensive water in their life is because, similar to the Numel line, the Charmander line can go weeks, even months, without a single drop of water if they need to. This is only due to the fact they can get nourishment from their prey, or berries, the latter of which holds liquid very well and swells in size. The longest recording of a Charmander specifically going without water was 5 months. However, the longer a Charmander goes without fluid intake, the weaker its flames and in general strength become. It will start acting very lethargic and sleep for longer periods of times, and should its owner refuse to give it proper fluids even at this point, the Charmander will fall into a coma.
Due to having still developing bodies, the common Charmander’s mouth is not the strongest; many even considered it its weakest trait amongst its body. This is why it can only learn Bite and Crunch (and to an extent, Outrage) via breeding. It’s claws can sharpen and grow faster than its teeth, and when it does have to use its mouth as a weapon in fighting, it will usually break off its teeth in the process. Some have even slightly dislocated or even broken their jaws. Their teeth, similar to dragonic and shark pokemon, do eventually grow back. But, it takes much longer than the regrowth of Charmeleon and Charizard teeth.
Another thing about Charmander that not many take into serious consideration is that Charmander actually are naturally born with a seemingly “slimy smooth” oil coating to their bodies, one that is different than the oils secreted at its tail. Visual reports have exposed that this is to make it harder for Charmander to be plucked off by arial predators if their parents are nowhere in sight at the moment. It gives the babies a huge window to get away before they can be the predator’s next meal thanks to being so slippery smooth. This oil usually is dried off within 72 hours after hatching, but if it is allowed to sink into the Charmander’s body rather than being wiped off, it helps give them extra moisture and nutrients to keep them alive long enough for them to either find or be brought to a pool of lava or a hot water source.
Not to mention that it was found in Charmander how much “moisture intake” they truly needed for nourishment development. As mention before, they should not go without water in their diets, as it can severely harm them in the long run. The reasons behind this came in the form of researchers discovering in the past how Charmander had drier, rougher scales in complete dry environments that had no lava pools or springs located nearby. That, or if they were with trainers who did not know about this key factor in the species. Despite being Fire types, they loved “bathing” in lava or boiling water, and those touched not long afterwards of such baths were reported to have cleaner, smoother, and healthier scales. On top of that, they can absorb the oxygenated moisture through their bodies. Lava indeed has moisture in it, and because of its mud-like sticky tendencies, it helps remove dead scales and help a wild Charmander shed.
They may be a distant cousin to the Dragon species as a whole - which has controversies still going on to this day on what typing it should truly be called, given how many characteristics it has to them, and also officially being a part of the Dragon Egg Group - but they are also have been reported to have a lot of similarities to that of the Salandit line. Recently, researchers have noticed similarities in both species, specifically how they require a surprising amount of moisture intake than their typing leads to, how their bodies operate, and despite not having any DNA connections to each other, they are known for being around one another or even adopting orphaned babies of their kinds. Strange…

Average Compatibility? Green
It is true that one can usually judge the emotions of a Charmander based on its tail alone. When it burns brightly but not hotly, it is awake, happy, excited or overjoyed. When it burns small and with a low glow, it is scared, tired, sad, or the beginning stages of it becoming sick. When it is a continuously heavy flickering but weak burn, this is a clear sign of the Charmander getting sick or is already very sick and needs medical assistance immediately. When it’s flame suddenly swells into a huge inferno on its tail, to the point of blue flames (if naturally a red flamed Charmander) appearing, it is enraged, activating its natural ability Blaze when low on health in battle, or trying to appear intimidating and scare off approaching predators.
The average Charmander doesn’t do well with impatient people, and those who think it is a perfect pet Pokemon starter for young kids below the age permit limit (under 10-12 yrs), think again. Charmander do well with kids, yes, but families who have a Charmander usually obtain it as an Egg and allow it to imprint on both them and their kids, or have been around the evolution line long enough to know how the baby will react to any rough handling. Breeders, researchers, and experienced trainers usually know what's for the best in this species, so one should listen to anything they have to offer. Despite this, the Kanto and Johto league and government officials still label the starter at a Green status.
Charmander tend to have a pecking order in groups, but will all serve one another with warmth and protection. The oldest of the clutch is usually the most instinctual and dominantly protective of their siblings to those it feels threatened by. They are a very sweet and well-mannered pokemon to their trainers, and many tend to imprint on their trainers over a short period of time, wanting nothing bad to happen to them, and serve with a strong loyal heart. Separating from a trainer or their parents can cause severe stress in a Charmander, and it isn’t uncommon for them to start crying and screaming in hysteria. Many people initially didn’t believe separation anxiety was a thing in this species, but it truly is, and needs to be tended to with gentle caution, as Charmander who were just abandoned or lost their loved ones can go on mini rampages, attacking anything and everything that tries to touch it. Bad handling of this behavior can lead to Charmander doing a 180 and becoming highly assertive and territorially aggressive.
Charmeleon- The Flame Pokemon
Pokedex Number - 005
Type - Fire
Physiology
Charmeleon are referred to as the “aggressive but protective big brothers” to Charmander, “cocky but eager to battle sons” to Charizard, and all around are the “reckless teen” stage of this evolution line. They are twice as big as the average Charmander, but still are significantly smaller than a Charizard. However, they are faster and more nimble than their bulkier final evolution. With their long claws at their feet, they are able to have amazing traction when running on rocky or rough surfaces, able to keep up with their prey, all while reaching top speeds of 45 mph. This is in part due to their sleek, lithe forms and longer legs being able to push themselves farther and faster than both its previous evolution and final evolution, with a longer tail that is able to help it make sharp, abrupt turns while on a high speed chase.
Their hand claws are nothing to shrug at either, and are able to propel a Charmeleon up rocky ledges while digging securely into the hard rock exteriors to ensure it doesn’t fall. They also help Charmeleon be able to forge for berries tucked away in tight rocky corners, and break down tough rocks to get at their food. Most of the time, a Charmeleon’s claws are curled slightly inward, which is a hunting advantage to them, allowing them to cling onto their prey and yank them close. This makes it also harder for said prey to escape from their curled claws. Their claws, both rear and frontal, are not the only thing they can use in battles; that long tail is built with thick, strong bones and is a dangerous weapon all on its own. They can whip their tails and cause bodily injuries to their enemies, sometimes even breaking bones and leaving massive bruises behind. Their tails are so strong, it can crack off pieces of boulders and, overtime with extensive training, and fully break through said boulders with moves such as Dragon Tail or Iron Tail. They will thrash their tails against the ground loudly to ward off enemies from their territories as well, imitating the noise of an angry Charizard’s loud thudding footfalls.
Another notable difference between Charmander and Charmeleon is how much stronger their jaws are. Evolution made their jaw bones sturdier and less likely to crack or break under moderate pressure. This, however, is still considered their “weakest” trait about their bodies, as they are still not the kind who likes to bite and hold on. They tend to bite harshly for a few seconds before letting go, unless it is prey trying to get away from them. Then they will use everything in them to take their prey down, teeth included. Their teeth are still not the strongest, but are not prone to falling out as much as a Charmander’s. They will still “shed” their teeth, losing at least one to three teeth every 2 weeks. Regrowth takes about two days.
While their name seems to imply that they are related to chameleons and thus, related to Kecleon - merely because they both have “crown” horns - this is actually not true. The average Charmeleon are, again, more related to raptors, salamanders, and draconic species then anything. Charmeleon can turn slightly brighter when in danger, but that is merely because of its body burning hotter in effort to scare off big predators. This doesn’t justify it enough to be categorized as an actual chameleon based pokemon like Kecleon. Their horn protrusion is one of two that Charizard end up having at the end, but some still ponder as to why that is. Recently researchers have discovered that the horn is not a form of cartilage, but is actual bone attached to the Charmeleon’s skull. This would make sense, as they aren’t afraid of bashing their heads against something to deal damage or fight for territory and safety.

Average Compatibility? Orange
Charmeleon are a HUGE jump from the curious and affectionate Charmander, as they are far, far more aggressive than their predecessor. To the point that it is a heavy warning to any fresh, new trainers who want Charmander that Charmeleon are, sadly, the most common starter Pokemon to be either abandoned, abused, surrendered to shelters, or euthanized due to the lack of willing understanding of trainers when they reach this stage. More so than the Totodile, Froakie, and Treecko lines combined. They need trainers who are either experienced with sudden territorial/aggressive tendencies, or are willing to take on such a serious situation. Unfortunately, more people are severely bitten every year by ill-trained Charmeleon than any other starter, due to them not being ready for such important responsibilities.
It’s said that even the most well trained Charmander, after it evolves, will still have compulsive and irrational reactions. It is instinctual for Charmeleon to push boundaries and see where they sit in the totem pole of dominance. Not to mention that, if they are truly devoted to their masters or their Pokemon companions, they will be very assertive towards stranger Pokemon or people and not hesitate in biting or clawing at those they fear are a danger to their “families”. They aren’t dumb Pokemon, but they certainly are curious and rash enough to make bold decisions. These negative behaviors cannot and should not be “fixed” with equally aggressive and loud, upset reactions by trainers. A trainer can be upset with their Charmeleon, yes, but proper positive reinforcement will help them understand what is right and wrong to do and how to hold themselves back. Charizard parents will be a bit more aggressive with them, indeed, but they speak on an higher assertive level than Charmeleon and are related to the Flame Pokemon.
Allowing them to nip and discipline Charmeleon in their own natural way is excellent in helping them control their tempers and know their place in such an openly dominant pecking order. The same goes for older and more mature Pokemon of different types. They will naturally be able to hound down a Charmeleon if it tries to take them on recklessly, and unless blood has been shed unnecessarily, a trainer is allowed to let those older Pokemon help in dampening the brash behaviors of the Flame Pokemon. For trainers themselves, without calm and understanding mindsets for these troublesome Pokemon, they can evolve into some pretty rude and very dangerous Charizard in the future. It takes time, and patience is a relished virtue with them in the end.
To a properly trained Charmeleon, they are very loyal and almost ironically dotting to their masters, wanting to make sure they are okay first and ensure their trainers know they are a strong enough pokemon to not just battle with, but also be used in times of protection. The same goes to any pokemon companions they have grown attached to after their spitfire behavior calms down. While at first they may feel apprehensive to give openly affectionate nuzzles to their trainers due to their new arrogance, they don’t like the concept of their trainers being cold during the night and will sometimes pop out of their Pokeballs to make sure their masters are okay.
They are fiercely protective of their baby siblings or anything they value with their entire heart. In the wild, older siblings don’t argue over who has to protect their baby siblings; they all protect them at once and take care of them while their parents aren't around. This is surprisingly the fastest way for the oldest Charmander of clutches to evolve; protecting its family if their parents are not available. It has even been reported that Charmeleon will sacrifice their lives right after evolving to fight an overly powerful predator, and give their siblings more time to find places to hide/get away. If there are more than one Charmander that evolves into Charmeleon, they will either split up to have one distract the danger with fighting and the others carefully carry their younger siblings in their mouths or hands away; or they will team up to scare off their enemies together. Ignorant or cocky poachers trying to kidnap baby Charmander can and often will be ambushed by either a Charizard or a group of Charmeleon.
Although it’s not usually considered an actual thing by those who know Charmeleon as just aggressive creatures only, the Flame Pokemon are actually known for “adopting” younger Pokemon, and tending to them just like how they would to younger Charmander. Often, in the wild, this attribute makes Charmeleon take in other lost Charmander, or Pokemon similar to them such as Gible, Larvitar, Cubone, Jangmo-o, Salandit, and even Vulpix. It is an unexpected “brooding” behavior that some aren’t quite sure why it is so apparent in such an aggressive Pokemon in the wild.
Charmeleon who are trying to hide their siblings from danger often will carry them via their mouths if they are in a rush, showing an inordinate amount of gentleness towards them in their grips. This is definitely carried on through their final forms, as it regards only their children or younger siblings with such unexpected tenderness. Some parents will even have their Charmeleon kin help in relocating the youngest to safer locations.
When angered or in peril danger, a Charmeleon’s has the ability to turn its tail flame into a bright, whitish-blue flame that swells and increases in heat in order to throw off their opponents. It’s said that a group of Charmeleon that increase their tail flames together can become as bright as the sun itself, causing temporary vision damage or sudden heat flashes in their enemies. They, like Charmander, can also extinguish their flames to hide from predators too dangerous to take on and live. However, due to being such a brash and reckless Pokemon, this is highly uncommon.
Charizard- The Flame Pokemon
Pokedex Number - 006
Type - Fire / Flying
Physiology
The Fire Kings. The Blazing Noble Warrior. The Loyal Inferno Beast, and so many more nicknames capture the popularity and essence of the captivating Pokemon that is Charizard. Many things have greatly changed with the final evolution of the Charmander line. For one, the Flame Pokemon has finally obtained a more draconic-like appearance, with the addition of large wings on its backside that allow it to fly. These beautifully long wings of theirs can soar them high above the sky and are aerodynamic to the point that, in proper weather conditions, a Charizard may never need to flap its wings during its travels. They can also churn up large gusts of wings that can even topple back a heavyset trainer. However, a Charizard’s wings are tissued membranes that - similar to other membrane-winged pokemon like the Zubat line, Salamance, or Dragonite - can have it torn up if attacked harshly enough. It is not uncommon for Charizard to be littered with scars on their wings.
While their mouths are still considered their "weakest" trait, and that it is not as powerful of a bite grip as say a Rampardos or Salamance, their teeth are also not ones to fall out of their mouths as often as a Charmeleon or Charmander, as they “shed” their old teeth and regrow new ones only three times a year, rather than every couple of weeks. And those same teeth can still leave nasty wounds on their enemies if they so choose. A Charizard is also always mindful of its two horns on its head, as too much stress on them will leave piercing pain shooting through their heads. A full breaking of a horn is said to be less painful than a bitten one, as they can still feel super sensitive to the Charizard. If anything, those two horns are used to attract mates rather than try be used for weaponry, as they are blunt at the end, not pointed, so they cannot deal substantial damage to anything.
Charizard have sacrificed much of their speed as a Charmeleon, gaining a bulkier and taller stature in return. They are not fast on their feet. They say you can’t make a Charizard run without it waddling. Their wings help them pick up speed, but they are still substantially slower running speed wise than a lot of other pokemon. Their main traits of power that stand out to all - aside from their new wings - are their fully developed claws, tails, and newly enhanced fire abilities. A Charizard’s claws, front and rear, are so sharp, that they can slice through granite boulders and crack diamond shield armor. Their tails can easily bash through massive boulders as well, and upheave a rocky terrain with a single thrash. Anything outside of battle that gets a full wack from such a formidable weapon in disguise is guaranteed to have a few broken bones.
Their fire abilities have developed into deadly forms of power. Charizard, at their strongest, are known to be able to melt massive glaciers with a single breath of flames, turn wads of strong steel into slabs of melted material, and leave gaping, sunken holes in boulders or mountainsides. Thus, it is cautioned to any trainer - new or experienced - with these creatures to not take their flames with light regard, as there have been reported cases of deaths from such intense fires. On the flip side, such heat can create great comfort to those in colder climates or high altitudes. No trainer is usually cold or shivering when they are flying with a Charizard, as their heat will billow off of them and comfort them as they soar high into the clouds. This proves beneficial to their young as they are growing up, being able to lie on their bellies or against them and seek the core heat they give off so well.
It is worth noting that most Charizard owned by trainers are the Common line bred sized ones, as their true Wild line counterparts are actually much bigger than them. A Common line Charizard is typically almost 7 feet tall, with their wingspans stretching out to nearly 20 feet.
Charizard are very wide with their diet choices. If they cannot find substantial food in the mountains or their volcanic homes, they are more than willing to venture far out and bring food home. Researchers have noted that if they are forced to do this, they will actually come home with a lot of fish varieties. They do not enjoy having a constrained diet on just berries and kibble, so it’s highly recommended that their masters be willing to find actual meat varieties for them to eat, be it frozen-thawed or live. Those who are squeamish about this concept should not be having a Charizard in the first place, as they need the protein to keep up with their metabolism and execution of flames. Too little nutrients or no meat in their diet will severely diminish their fire power and general health.
Charizard are the least likely out of the evolution line to diminish their flames in times of danger. Now that they are full grown and are at the peak of their strength, they are more prone to swelling their tail flames up and appearing bigger than normal. Some will go as far as blasting their flames onto their wings to create an even larger illusion of themselves. This doesn’t hurt the Charizard in the least, but should they become hurt with injuries or infection, Charizard tend to spit out almost yellowish-green sickly flames, both from their mouths and tails. However, when they are traveling with trainers, they will either snuff out their tails while they are crossing high grassy or densely forested areas, or they will simply stay in their pokeballs to greatly reduce the possibility of accidentally starting a bushfire.
Behavior
Average Compatibility? Red
For the Common line - captive bred, trained and evolved - Charizard, once they have reached this final form of their line, they are immensely loyal to their trainers and tend to have little disputes unlike their middle form. They are noble, affectionate, and protective of their masters, wanting to please and are willing to protect without any hesitation. However, a Charizard who has not been trained well isn’t so prone to holding back in showing who’s boss to smaller/weaker Pokemon, leading to some internal conflict amongst a pokemon team. Despite all this, Charizard are still considered a “Red” compatibility pokemon due to how many injuries, deaths, and surrenders there have been over the years of known ownership. Negligence, abuse, or just not wanting to deal with such a powerful pokemon often lead ill-equipped trainers either abandoning them, or even putting them down at times. Due to all the complications and high necessities in mature minded trainers for such pokemon, Charizard is labeled the only Red categorized starter pokemon. The next highest is Feraligatr, and they are at a Yellow category.
Trying to tame a wild Common Charizard is strongly encouraged to be left to only the best of the best of trainers. People who are able to get close to and befriend such wild and dangerous Charizard can usually then be labeled as "Tamers" by officials, as they possess skills and knowledge far greater than your average young trainer does. They spend months to years proving their trust to such dangerous creatures, where one misstep or wrongdoing can lead them into the jaws of death if they are not consistently careful. Charizard who are tamed, captive raised, and are able to still hold such traits that can be passed down through their generations have their natural markings and size usually intact even after years and years of captive tameness and breeding. The largest open area to view, train, and become educated on the creatures is Charicific Valley that's inbetween the Johto and Kanto regions, with Tamer Liza Flare as the head caretaker of the Charizard there.
Researchers, breeders, and trainers who have bred their Charizard before will be very quick to inform those who do not know that this creature is very protective of their clutches of young. Like many other draconic Pokemon, Charizard do not leave their nest after they’ve laid their eggs, using their flames and body heat to keep them at a controlled temperature. They will gluttonously eat a large amount of food prior to birthing, and then will not eat for the next several weeks of incubation of the eggs. However, should they have a clutch already hatched and raised when they have a new one, or the father stays even after mating, they will happily leave their eggs with their oldest and forge for food, or leave the eggs in the protection of their father.
For the longest time, it was thought that the females were highly aggressive towards anything and anyone who dared tried to touch their eggs, but the males are even more intolerant of such, going as far as slaughtering anything on sight that tries to steal or eat their eggs. Like birds, however, Charizard will allow their young to scoot underneath them - carefully, mind you - and their wings, tucking their appendages in close to keep them hidden from predators. Once their young have hatched, Charizard tend to relocate them almost immediately, not wanting any sort of predator to find them so soon after coming into the world. Thanks to being so large, they are able to scoop up their young and leave the nest in a very short amount of time. Strangely enough though, it is noted how a Charizard may not accept an adopted in child as quickly as a Charmeleon do. They won’t, however, scare them off or kill them outright, but it takes a far longer time for them to develop protection urges for Pokemon they have not birthed.
It’s said that a “weak” Charizard is the only kind who tries to show off. This isn’t necessarily true. Charizard are constantly trying to show they are growing stronger. However, a very misbehaving Charizard will get punished by other Charizard, putting it in its place quickly and make sure it knows where it stands and how hard it has to train to get to their own level of strength. Plus, in the wild, Charizard will blast hot flashes of flames at one another to establish who is in control of what kind of territory in groups. The bluer the flame, the stronger the Charizard, and thus the higher up it is from others. While the species itself is considered very solitary, they tend to stick in familial groups for up to three years before breaking off to find new lands, foes, and food without as much competition.
Congrats! You made it to the end of a MASSIVE research text wall. You get a ribbon! XDDD
No but seriously, if you read through all that, thank you so much. That means the world to me. I tend to go on an eager ramble on something I love diving into, and I tend to not regret it afterwards because I enjoy showing how passionate I become for such a project. For a Pokemon I consider my least favorite Kanto starter and one of the most uninteresting ones in general, I wanted to see if I could MAKE them way more interesting than what has been thrown at us by the official pokemon websites out there. There are too many confusing holes out there and so jumping into this made me want to fill a lot of them.
If you didn't read through it, that's okay too. It's a LOT of words to go through so I don't blame you if you have other things to do LOL I intend to do slightly shorter summaries on the other actual variants, but for the main "Common" line, I felt like I had to throw up a massive wall to get out the main details first. I've seen countless amazing realistic inputs from other people on pokemon, and I wanted to give it a whirl myself ;u;
Please know, this is 100% fan-made and just a hobby project I want to do for fun!
If you have any tidbits or questions you'd like to ask, I'm all for them! Constructive criticism is welcomed, but again, this is not to be taken very seriously. It's just a stupid lil' thing I have been haunted by for months now and only recently decided to muster up the courage to post. It has been inspired by years and years of following folks who have tried their hands at this too. I'm just one more spec of sand added to the mound now
PS: "PVR" is gonna be the project's name; Pokemon Variation Research. I even have intentions of drawing an OC human for it ouo
