I chose charmander because the only reason I bought the first Pokemon Red version was because the box-art made it seem like I was going to be ripping crap up with a dragon. As a fan of Godzilla back then it appealed to me. Needless to say I was pleasently surprised with what turned out to be my first RPG. I've chosen Fire starters ever since, until White version, which I went with the Samurai Sealion instead.
