How to cruise around Kanto in style

Charizard is just too weak to Rock type moves. Arcanine is the king!

I remember a certain Champion battle was anticlimatic, but Arcanine never let me down.

I love Arcanine quite a lot as well, in fact, it's on my main team in Shield! But I'm not going to give up on Charizard!

This is hard, I like Arcanine a lot, but I have to go with Charizard. It's iconic from the anime as one of the most colorful pokemon personalities Ash ever met with, if not the most, and it has 3 cool stages- Charmander, Charmeleon and Charizard, whereas Arcanine is just 2, Growlithe and Arcanine. Also, while some people hate Charizard for the fan service it has receive, it was made into a force to be reckoned with having multiple megas and a gmax form, and I did enjoy using it.

Charizard stole the limelight all away, but it would have not lasted if Dragonite was made intimidating, rather than stuffed soft toy.......


....whereas Arcanine is interesting in itself, and can definitely catch opponents off guard. Had it received Mega Evolution or something, then Arcanine would have stood higher. And at least Arcanine is fire type as it looks, unlike Charizard who wanted to look like dragon, but ended up as lizard !! And Mega X was a bit course correction to it, although it's Mega Y which can be potent.

For the pure Fire types!

Riding around on Arcanine in LGPE was fun.
Can't fly on Charizard until post game, at which point there's no real reason to play the game anymore

To be honest, I've never gotten far in LGPE. It's not as interesting as the other main series games.

I had not even played Switch games, although Arcanine is pure fun when it is trained properly, according to me !

I picked Arcanine in my Black 2 team in my second run, and he was a great asset!

I had it as my ride Pokemon from the moment I got it all the way until the end of LGE.

Though it did feel like I got scammed as the woman who gives you it or Persian asks your preference, makes you catch Growlithe or Meowth, and then gives you the opposite one so that you 'can learn to appreciate' the other one (not sure if those are the exact words, but it was something along those lines).

Did work though... Loved running around on Arcanine's back.

That little sidequest with the Meowth and Growlithe lines has been added in the Kanto Expansion Pak.

Charizard can fly, therefore it's more useful than Arcanine in early Gen games.

Fortunately HM's are no longer a thing.

 

[Fact Checking Gardevoir]

It is good indeed to no longer have to worry about which Pokémon we will teach which HM.

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

The only time I whited out while playing Fire Red was the one time I put my Charizard in the box! (and I had a level 80 Dragonite with me at the time!)

I love it when ROM hacks and fan games remove the need for teaching HM moves, whether it be with items or by just having Pokemon on your team that can learn the moves.
