The series diverges somewhat from the Pokémon video game and anime canon: most Pokémon can speak human language and regular animals (like birds and fish) appear alongside Pokémon.

[[Green's Charizard|Green's Charmander]] also seems able to skip the {{p|Charmeleon}} stage and evolve directly into {{p|Charizard}}. | The series diverges somewhat from the Pokémon video game and anime canon: most Pokémon can speak human language and regular animals (like birds and fish) appear alongside Pokémon.
