He's also a goddamn dragon. Not a girly dragon like Dragonite, either. He's a legit big-winged, sharp teeth, sharp claws, loud roar, fire-breathing dragon. And his tail is on fire! Dude's a boss.

He's technically a fire/flying, not a dragon. But I see your point. Dragonite is actually my favorite pokemon, but Charizard was always my favorite starter of that generation.

Looks like the name 'Charizard' is official even to the Japanese. I'll stop using speech marks for English names then. Screw that, why call something 'Nosepass', when the LAST 3 letters of the name is banned for English use? Don't you dare say 'it's called Nosepass in Japanese as well'.


What are you talking about? His name is Lizardon in Japanese. And why would Nintendo of Japan care what word is banned in America? The American company makes up their own rules/censorship. That's why things like the gay hitchhiker and rock girl and trap preschool teacher were created in the Japanese game, despite having to be edited out of the American version. Japan goes by their own rules. But yes, Nosepass is the Japanese name for that Pokemon.
