CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

For Charmander, emotions have their own light. The flame at the tip of its tail changes with its feelings: it flickers when it is enjoying itself and burns more fiercely when it is angry. Watching this little fire is a way of reading its mood. This warm little figure has a language that its face alone does not always express.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

In Pokémon Yellow, Charmander's flame is also described through sound. Its crackle is so quiet that it takes a peaceful place to hear it. This small atmospheric detail invites us to imagine the Pokémon somewhere other than in the middle of a battle.
