 In charmander's debut, he was technically acquired from another trainer. This could suggest that he was traded, allowing him to be ornery as a charmeleon and a charizard. [[User:SamOak|SamOak]] 21:24, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
+==Differences==
+Like the person said above me, Charizard was previously owned by another person, so the "disobeying" didn't exactly differ from the games.  The way the game handles NPCs giving the player Pokémon (such as an NPC giving the player a Charmander) is slightly flawed since it records the Original Trainer as the player, even though the player wasn't the "original trainer".  But say it was a Mew received from a Nintendo event... even though it wouldn't have been "traded" it might still disobey me... so this isn't really a difference between the game and anime so much as it is a mistake with the game's programming.  However, the fact that Charizard continues to disobey Ash even after Ash receives the proper badges ''is'' a difference.
+Anyway, I'd like to point out an inconsistency on Bulbapedia (not really sure how this can be corrected since the problem is on numerous pages.  Correcting each individual page would be a lot of work, not to mention people will probably just change them back).  Articles on here seem to list certain facts as "errors" when the games and anime don't correspond.  The truth is that these aren't errors... just differences between the two.  Just a few examples of what I mean are:
+- [[M01]] - It says that Pikachu's electric attack working on Golem is an error.  This is covered in this article as a difference, and so it's not really an "error".
+- [[EP046]] - Pikachu's electric attack had no impact on Kabutops.  This is similar to my previous example, but not covered in this article.  Maybe it should be added?  (That Rock-type seems to have resistance / immunity to electric attacks... in the first season at least)
+- [[EP022]] - "Only Ghost-types can fight the Psychic-type".  I don't think that's an error... there has never been any indication that Bug-type attacks ''are'' super-effective against the Psychic-type in the anime.  This could just be another difference in type effectiveness (like my previous 2 examples) [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 03:36, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
