Definately Arcanine or Flareon, would be perfect pets. (A dog and a cat, simple yet amazing.)

So you are a Charmander lover huh? Is there a special reason why? xD Seemed back in the Generation 1 days that Charizard was to beast to not choose. |

Well, back in the 'old' days of Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow (when I was heaps younger) I mainly thought of the 'cuteness' of the pokemon - of course, all three were rather cute. I was never a squirtle fan really (dunno why) Bulbasaur was my favourite for a while, but then, I gave charmander a go... and it turned out to be just the most awesomest pokemon I could've picked! Cause I had to train it up heaps to be able to defeat Brock, it made it so it was pretty strong early in the game, and that helped a bit later on. So yeah, my Charmander obsession has just sort of 'stuck' ever since the beginnings of my pokemon journey. XD |

Venusaur Never thought he'd be beast in a Sunny Day team As a fan favorite Pokemon, I am disappointed on how the Charizard family ended up for 5th Generation. I think it's joke now.... |

Ah well I haven't gotten into the 5th generation (as of yet) - I've mainly stuck to the first 3 |

I would loved to use Charizard in the original Red/Blue games again for sure. Typhlosion was alright, I think he's better than Charizard (Same stats in 5th Gen also, lesser movepool but no 4x Weakness either, plus Earthquake can hurt it). That's just my opinion though. Blaziken, I fell in love with when Ruby/Sapphire was released. I didn't like Infernape in 4th Generation but still chose him and prefer him over the other 2 of Torterra/Empoleon. and Emboar- the only Fire Starter Pokemon I never chose, and I passionately hate the look of it. Thank goodness for Seperior, FTW! So..practically Fire/Fighting combo, Blaziken is best :) |
Quote:
haha yeah seperior looks pretty cool though :D |
I also chose the Blaziken line in Ruby and Emerald. I liked the fact that unlike Charmander, Torchic could evolve into Combusken and become neutral to Rock. My Combusken nailed Roxanne's Pokemon with Stab Double Kick.
But 3 Fire/Fighting starters in 3 consecutive generations is a little too much, I think. |
Quote:
I have a female Blaziken in Black. |
I think Torchic would be an amazing pet. Especially since Torchic is warm to hug. Now I think of it, I'd really want Torchic as a pet.
As for the quiz: Spoiler:

Now who wants more Fire/Dragon types? I know I do. |
I'd like some, just as long as they aren't the mascots. We have too many dragon mascots.
|
I find the Fire/Dragon combination sort of redundant but that combination can have some interesting designs. If we ever get another Fire/Dragon, then I'm looking forward to see its design.

Well, there have been other types that show up a lot... If you count them up, Dragon is leading with 6 while Fire has 3. Water has 4 and Flying has 4 as well. Electric somehow has 2 Pokemon on the box art. Most people just look at the Dragon type when a dual type mascot comes up, but in truth, there are a lot of mascots with different types.

Starter- Dualith the Houndoom Reason for joining- I've always had a place in my pokeheart for fire types. If I don't start with a fire type, I will use a fire type in the game Referred by- No one Just to know a bit more about me I'll answer some questions. ☼ Which is the strongest Fire type Pokemon? To me it's a tie between Reshiram and Ho-oh. Both of them are very powerful and have their weakness ☼ Which Fire type starter is the best? Blaziken. Fire/Fighting is a combination that I like. ☼ Which Fire type legendary is the best? As I said before tie between Reshiram and Ho-oh. Heatran is also good. ☼ Which is your favourite Fire type move? The classic Flamethrower. ☼ Who the best Fire type Gym Leader? The original Fire gym leader, Blane. ☼ Which Fire type has the best shiny sprite? Houndoom, Rapidash, and Ninetales ☼ Do you think Fire types can successfully be used defensively? No. Most of the better Fire types are frail.

Overrated: Charizard, Infernape, Ho-oh, Reshiram Underrated: Ninetails, Arcanine, Typhlosion, Houndoom ☼* If the Fire types Ho-oh and Reshiram got into a fight, who'd win? Hard to answer that one ☼* Which Fire Pokemon would make the best real-world pet? Torchic, Growlithe and Flareon ☼* Is Rotom-Heat better as Electric/Fire or was it better as Electric/Ghost? Electric/Fire for STAB. ☼* Dragon are often associated with Fire, but there's only 1 Fire/Dragon Pokemon. Should there be more? Not really. |

Welcome to the club, Limanya and ShinyHoundoom!
To tell the truth, the 5th gen Metagame isn't very kind to Fire types in general with Rain and Sand running rampant. But Infernape, IMO can definitely be an asset to a team if played right. You can no longer use it like 4th gen. Focus Sash lead sets are not so viable, as leads don't exist anymore, and if you don't lead with Infernape it's more than likely your Sash'd be broken by Rocks or Sandstorm. Where it shines, however, is wallbreaking. Fire/Fighting Stab lets it punch huge holes in Ferrothorn, Tyranitar, Blissey, Chansey, Skarmory, Porygon2 and a LOT other 'mons. It's also a surprisingly good revenge killer and priority user. So I don't see why Infernape shouldn't deserve some love. |

Infernape does deserve it, but at least in 4th gen it was getting too much. If anyone was going to use a Fire type more often than not it was Infernape even though Heatran was another good option from the OU tier. It kinda also made Blaziken look really bad in comparison. Now with dream world abilities around Blaziken shot up in useability. Heck I might even say that Blaziken is a little overrated. Would Blaziken really have this much praise (that it gets banned in Metagame) if Speed Boost wasn't it's dream world ability? |
