===Design inconsistencies=== | |||
In its [[Generation I]] [[#Sprites|sprites]] and original key artwork, Charmander's "back" is depicted as having a small line of spikes. The spikes were not shown in the sprites and artwork of later [[generation]]s. [[Blue's Charmander]] also had these spikes in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, where the spikes were larger and easier to see. The spikes were also seen on {{PPM|Green}}'s {{TP|Green|Charmander|Charizard}} from the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. | |||
Additionally, Charmander is depicted with an inconsistent number of fingers in its designs. The original sprites designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]] for {{game|Red and Green|s}} featured three fingers, while the artwork [[Ken Sugimori]] drew based on those sprites had four fingers. Currently, the {{Trading Card Game}}, {{pkmn|anime|animated TV shows}}, {{pkmn|movie}}s, and [[List of anime specials|specials]], as well as artwork unrelated to games and merchandise, use the three-fingered hand design; while the 3D models and the artwork based on those (such as the ones made for {{LGPE}}) feature the four-fingered hand design. | |||
