I loved Charizard a lot (And Charmander, Charmeleon) and didn't think a fire type could top my favorites and then I totally loved Cyndaquil and it's evo-line when I got Gold and Silver for gameboy. Ever since then I think Typhlosion has been tied with Charizard as my favorite fire type. Only, some times Typhlosion passes Charizard just a bit because it has never let me down in ANY of my games. <3 And I really love it's overall design, the flames popping out of it, and the same for Cyndaquil and Quilava. But, a few others to name are Growlithe and Arcanine, and I've also always loved Flareon and Houndoom for fire types. I wasn't too impressed with any fire types in Gen IV yet and I haven't played Gen III so...
