4 Charmander
About the bead sprite:
760 Beads.
SOLD
As previously stated, I think I did this the same night as Squirtle and Bulbasaur. There were a number of times I got multiple sprites done in one night. Anyway, this was early on in the series, so my colors weren't all available, and I wanted something orange-y, not just red. I've seen other people make Charmanders that were just red, and while that's okay, I think the game and TV show primarily showed him orange. While it looks good from a distance, I'm not 100% pleased with how he turned out and may re-do it.
What my Fiancée calls this Pokemon:
Fire Lizard
Facts & Trivia:
Charmander is taller than any other Fire-type starter Pokémon in any of the Pokemon games. In the first generation, on its sprite and first artwork, Charmander's "back" is depicted as having a small line of spikes. The spikes were not shown in the sprites and artwork of later generations. Charmander also had these spikes in the Pokémon Adventures manga, where the spikes were larger and easier to see. In the first generation, Charmander and its evolutionary line are capable of learning Leer. However, in later generations, this move is replaced by Scary Face. Some Pokédex entries state Charmander's tail flame as "producing steam" when it rains, while a flame of the size of Charmander's tail would normally be put out by rain.
Regarding its flame, its FireRed Pokédex entry states that its life would end if the flame on its tail would go out. However, in the console games, its flame effectively stops burning if Charmander (or its evolutions) is affected by a freeze. Charmander has the longest name of all unevolved starter Pokémon. Charmander may have been partially inspired by the salamander, an amphibian bearing a slender body, short nose, and a long tail; it exhibits other physical lizard-like characteristics. The salamander and Charmander themselves may have been inspired by the mythological creature of the same name, the salamander; fire-spirits who survive in extreme heat or flames, sometimes creatively rendered and interpreted to be in the shape of lizards.
