Fire
Scorching offense. Melts Steel, burns Grass & Ice

Over 1,000 species. Nine generations of adventure. One world where creatures of unimaginable power live alongside humanity — waiting to be discovered, trained, and befriended.
Battle Mechanics
Hall of Fame
The flame on the tip of its tail indicates Charizard's life force. If it is healthy, the flame burns brightly. Soaring through clouds at 4,600 feet, it spits fire hot enough to melt boulders — making it one of the most recognizable and beloved Pokémon in history.
Journey Through Time
Where it all began. Professor Oak hands you a Pokédex in Pallet Town and an entire world opens up. The original 151 became cultural icons overnight.
Day and night cycles changed everything. The addition of breeding, held items, and two full regions to explore cemented Pokémon as a franchise for life.
A tropical paradise of water routes and secret bases. Contests, double battles, and abilities reinvented competitive play entirely.
Mythology and time travel. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina introduced cosmic stakes while the Underground brought players together in brand new ways.
The most ambitious story in the series. A cinematic adventure questioning whether Pokémon battles are ethical — and featuring the best rival cast in franchise history.
The first truly open-world Pokémon games. Three intertwining storylines let you blaze your own path through a sun-drenched Mediterranean landscape filled with new discoveries.
By the Numbers
The Classic Choice
Born with a bulb on its back, this dinosaur-frog hybrid is the easiest choice for first-time trainers — its Vine Whip dominates the first two gyms.
The hard-mode starter with the highest payoff. Evolves into the iconic Charizard — the single most popular Pokémon ever created, and a fan favorite for 30 years.
The well-rounded choice. Squirtle's squad is legendary. It evolves into Blastoise, a tank-like powerhouse that fires jets of water with pinpoint accuracy.
