* Charizard was unable to learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]] in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}. This was changed starting with {{v2|Yellow}}, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in the original games by trading one from a later version. | * Charizard was unable to learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]] in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}.

Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, certainly one of many forms told and rendered in legends. Charizard's prominence as a dragon without being of the {{t|Dragon}} type is further reinforced in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, where one makes a cameo as one of four prominently featured {{wp|classical element|patron elemental}} dragon Pokémon. The other three Pokémon sharing this distinguishing trait are legitimate Dragon-type Pokémon: {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, and {{p|Flygon}}. The patronage of these four dragons is inspired from the four {{wp|classical element}}s: {{wp|Air (classical element)|Air}}, {{wp|Water (classical element)|Water}}, {{wp|Earth (classical element)|Earth}}, and {{wp|Fire (classical element)|Fire}}, with Charizard being the representative of Fire. It shares some evolutionary traits with Charmeleon, such as its distinctive horns, also a distinct trait in some dragons. | Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, certainly one of many forms told and rendered in legends.
