Charizard? Flying or Dragon type?

Not really. You don't have to be a dragon type to learn dragon type moves. Many different pokemon can learn dragon moves, such as Lucario and Arcanine for examples. He is classified as A Lizard pokemon, which makes him some what of a dragon but not really. He has my flying characteristics than dragon.
 
It has the physical form of a dragon, just not the elemental typing. Neither does Gyarados.
 
Everything everyone else said. Plus, Charizard was around in the first games where there were only 3 dragon types, all in the same family. They couldn't just hand something out that was supposed to be a rare type, as a starter.
 
Dragons Fly and it should of been labeled a Dragon/Fire type because I thought at one time it was a Fire/Dragon type


:t354:TG
 
It's got more flying type moves than dragon type moves, but i think it should be a dragon/fire cause it looks like a dragon type! You know it's fire type cause it's color and the flam on the tail, and does not look like a bird, Cause nearly all the pokemon that look like birds are flying type, but charizard looks more like a dragon, so it should be Dragon/Fire!

Dratini? Bagon? Shelgon? Gible? Gabite? Garchomp? Dialga? I don't see any of them fly, but they're Dragons. :P
 
Whatever you "think" it is, it is a Fire/Flying-element Pokemon.
 
Well, Charizards appearance is a bit dragon-ish (the wings, tail and horn, plus the D/P sprite for charizard looks like he's a dragon) but they made him a dragon/flying, i would prefer a him to be a dragon/fire, but what can you do
 
No, he's a Fire/Flying, like I said.
 
The D/P sprites makes the impression for it to be a dragon even stronger... and yet, they kept it fire/flying. I also thought it would have some sort of dragon feature included to it when they made it, but IIRC, the dragon type was only introduced in G/S/C right? Charizard had already been determined in R/B/Y as Fire/Flying so changing that would have been weird...

EDIT: O.o Ignore the strikethroughs. Recalled incorrectly...

No, there was a dragon type in R/B/Y (Dratini, Dragonair and Dragonite) But, if they wanted it to be a fire/Dragon then they would've made it one in R/B/Y

Oh oops.. my bad. Um, just then scrap everything involving that theory I said before. *goes to edit*

I had forgotten about Dratini/Dragonair/Dragonite temporarily.

Duel elemental types just won't happen. It's pretty illogical, and will go against the classical starter type.

Yea because they are very very weird. What I meant to say was most Dragons fly

Two main things come to mind when discussing the typing of Charizard. Starters can't be Dragons and a Fire/Dragon type seems kinda rigged for a non-uber.
