>>45297935This, a starter fits his whole theme as a character, it's just that it's Charizard, the most over-represented starter in the franchise. Even though he's not nearly as popular even if it was just a different gen 1 starter like Blastoise or Venusaur it wouldn't be as eye-rollingly cliché. That or, y'know, not having him bring up his fucking Charizard in almost every conversation you have with him.
