The Pyromancers: Fire-type Pokémon Club

I wonder if Steven Stone could give us a starter from either Johto...hmm, and then would we get our Mega Typhlosion?
 
Steven is a Hoenn guy, so I just can't imagine him giving away any Pokémon not native to this region. If Elm (or Gold or Silver) makes some appearance of sorts, then that could definitely be a possibility. I hope it happens, personally, because I'd love to be able to get my hands on Johto starters, haha. Kanto ones wouldn't be bad, either, but we just had them in XY, so if they were to give them away, it'd seem a little repetitive.
 
If any, we'll get Johto or Sinnoh starters since we haven't heard from those regions since their Gen IV games. I hope for Johto personally, Mega Typhlosion ftw!
 
Name: Bulbadon (Call me Calvin or CJ)
Pick two Fire-type Partner Pokémon: Houndoom and Mega Charizard X
Reason(s) for liking Fire-types: They have cool designs and I have always liked dragons, lizards or creatures that could breathe fire. I have always found that to be interesting and yeah I like fire.
Answer to current topic: In the remake I think Flannery's gonna have a new look and have some new Pokemon and have at least one Pokemon from her old team.
 
Actually, Sinnoh might make a better option, due to the reason that you've stated. I'm not such a huge fan of Infernape, personally, but I wouldn't mind being able to get a hold of it again. Also, welcome to the club, Bulbadon!

Welcome! Dragons are awesome for sure. Flannery is going to keep Torkoal. There's no way it goes, it's her signature Pokémon. If she gets any changes, I see her getting a Ninetales, but that's only because Vulpix is available in Hoenn originally.
 
I'm back from a super long hiatus!

Topic answer: If they make Flannery hotter then that'd be great! They better not mess with her hair though. And I'm interested in seeing what Pokemon she'll have.

And I hope we can rematch her and she'll have more Fire-types from different generations.
 
Welcome back! I think the rematch is a given considering HG/SS did it and it was really awesome. As far as her appearance, well I don't know what they could do to make her look a lot better.

EDIT: Oops, I missed Ashley's comment! I agree, Infernape is 5th out of the 6 starters for me (and it isn't really close either), but given the chance, I'd use it because I never have before, although I'd feel kinda strange (more like a traitor) playing through a Hoenn game with a Fire/Fighting-type that isn't Blaziken, but I just used it in X so I'm going with one of the others.

Here's how I rank the starters, feel free to do your own rank if you want to.

1. Charizard
2. Blaziken
3. Delphox
4. Typhlosion
5. Infernape
6. Emboar

My ranking is exactly the same, to be honest! Charizard's first, because, to me, it seems to be the most unique of all. It's also got two mega-evolutions, which emphasizes its awesomeness even more, haha. Blaziken's definitely second, as it was our first fire/fighting-type. Plus, its design looks a lot nicer than many other fire starters. Third is Delphox due to similar reasons, and fourth, fifth, and sixth are Typhlosion, Infernape, and Emboar, respectively.
 
Agreed. Even though I love Blaziken, Charizard is cooler than him, by a bit but still. Never really liked Infernape or Emboar, so Typhlosion should be on top of it. Delphox respectively gained third cause a Psychic side is pretty cool.
 
...How did I do that? Well, you guys are on the same wavelength as me, haha.

How about we try something a little different?

WAT

You dislike Delphox? (Btw, what is your list of starters in order?

That's a pretty cool picture though.
 
Emboar being 2nd for bacon reason is the only reason I accept it...in fact that comedic value alone may suade me to move it up over Infernape (no, not you're loathing of Chimchar, it's adorable).

I actually enjoyed using the Tepig line in Black. Emboar with Flame Charge and Bulk Up (I think that's what I used) was rather brutal; I rarely had to switch out. It can take a hit, whereas Blaziken isn't able to.

Don't know who to give credit; but I really do like this of Vulpix. Was searching for fire type pics and this was a great pic of it.
 
I'm back! I've been really busy lately and I also figured to take a week off for the Get Together...then I got really busy for the first half of this week too. But here I am, back and better than ever.

Interestingly enough, I never used this topic before, probably because it's very cliche, but seeing as it has been a while and it hasn't been used, let's go with it.

What is your favorite Fire-type Pokémon? Elaborate.

Charizard, hands down. It was the first Pokémon I had on my first playthrough and has stuck with me ever since. Every game I had I wished I could have a Charizard in it. It's definitely a nostalgia thing, but I enjoy using Charizard in battle still to this day. The only Pokémon plush I own is a Charizard as well that was a gift, and let me say, they chose well.

It's definitely got to be Charizard. Have been a fan of it ever since I was introduced to this Pokémon, and still am. One, major thing that I like is its design; to me, it looks absolutely fierce. Anybody could hop onto Charizard, regardless of what size or weight, and be able to fly. It'd be quite fun, too; if I were ever give the chance, I would immediately accept it. I mean, who wouldn't?

Another plus side is that, unlike most other Pokémon, Charizard has not one, but two, separate mega-forms. That, in my opinion, is quite a huge deal! My personal favorite, however, would most likely have to be Y version, as it looks more natural. X isn't so bad, but what ruined it for me, sort of, is its color-scheme; if you ask me, black and blue doesn't exactly fit, and it also seems random, to some degree. If it were still orange, it would have been a lot better.
 
Good to know someone's on the same page as me! :P The two Mega Evolutions I think speaks to just how popular Charizard is. I don't think Game Freak would have done that otherwise. I like X better because it's more balanced and Dragon-type, not to mention the design (blue flames ftw!). Y is pretty cool because of its outlandish Special Attack stat and ability to use Solarbeam without needing Sunny Day support (for 5 turns at least).
