100% agree i think they did Charzard dirty to nerf it cuz all dragon types have very insane base stats and it would have made it so it was to op as a starter

Ponyta is firehouse
No?

Charmander and chameleon can be both fire since first 2 gyms are super effective against fire it makes up for it in the mid-late game. Statwise i think original is fine where it is, the only thing that charizard needs changed is its typing imo.

Bulbusaur is easy mode

What about the ones that are physical objects, like the trash bag or light bulb?

had to google that one i had no clue but google said " inspired by Japanese folklore (Tsukumogami) where old objects gain spirits and sentience"
