Charizard.
Reshiram is bad design compared to Zekrom and many other dragons.
The other one is just a turtle.

>>27885151
Denialfag. Charizard is one of the best designs in the game.
>>
>>27885122
Reshiram is Dragon/Fire

Edgezard represents fire and dragon the best but he's lame.
Reshiram represents Dragon well, Turtonator represents Fire well.
>>
the left one looks like a stupid yugioh monster.

blue/black charizard is too edgy. regular charizard should be fire/dragon instead of fire/flying.

fire turtle has a stupid face and is not a dragon.

Regular Charizard and Y are just winged fire lizards. Charizard X is the only Dragon by type and design.

Mega Charizard X is the same as normal Charizard but with black skin and blue flame. Saying that Charizard is a Dragon and Mega Charizard X is not is the most stupid form of denial I've ever seen.

Charizard.
Although Turtonator is my favorite by far.
>>
>>27885155
Yes. You will need the following:
• DS or DSlite
• any Gen IV game
• a 3DS
• any Gen V game
• a PokéBank subscription

After you have beaten the Elite Four in any Gen IV game and have access to the Pal Park, you can transfer your Pokémon from Sapphire to it, using the GBA slot of the original DS or the DSlite.
Then you can transfer your Pokémon from the Gen IV game to B/W/B2/W2 by connecting any two DS systems (can be old DS and 3DS) wirelessly.
Finally, you can transfer your Pokémon from Gen V to PokéBank on a 3DS (you need to put them in Box 1 of your Gen V game IIRC) using a tool that you can install through PokéBank.
Once they are in Bank, you can freely move them between Gen VI games, and eventually into S&M.
>>
>>27885326
It's the fucking same. Secondary type has no difference from "primary" type in any machanic except the order on the Pokédex and on the info screen. They both get stab, weakness, resistance and immunity
>>
>>27885155
To go from Gen 3 to Gen 6/7, you need to have a DS lite, a 3DS, and Pokémon Bank.
Look up Pal Park to transfer from your Sapphire to a generation 4 game, like Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, or HeartGold/SoulSilver. Then have a Generation 5 game (Black, White, Black 2 or White 2). Look up information on the Transfer machine there.
And from Generation 5, use the Poké Transporter app in conjunction with Pokémon Bank. You can then deposit Pokémon from Bank to X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire. I assume Sun and Moon will also include this Bank support, with added capabilities for the VC rereleases.

True but Dragon/Fire =/= Fire/Dragon
The order of typing alone differentiates them.

I agree with >>27885364
You have a very bad case of denial there. Another idiot who dislikes the superior Charizard because it's mainstream. Well it's mainstream for a reason.
You gave yourself by picking a Pokémon that is literally the same except for colors and bulk.
>>
>>27885497
If there's no difference, then why are they different?
>>
>>27885364
The moment I noticed that Mega Charizard X was bulkier and was able tu run a Bulky Dragon Dance set, that did it for me. Bro for life.

I don't really like the fact that he's so mainstream, even used by the anime champion, but I'm not going to change my tastes because of the others. And I've liked Charizard since gen 1, having him in almest every game team.
>>
>>27885630
they're not, he's right.
Rashiram and Charizard X have the same weakness/resistance/stab, so they're the same type.

That's a very fat Charizard Y.
The real Charizard Y is way more thin and basically a fire lizard with wings.
Charizard X is the dragon because of the blue fire and the bulkier form.

Charizard is just a generic dragon. It isn't the best design of nothing.
>>
>>27886129
Shiny Charizard is Charizard painted black, and people here used to love it.

Mega Charzard X is bulkier and has blue flame. That's the flame of a dragon as hinted by almost every dragon move in the game.

>>27886031
No pokémon with that body shape are measured head to tail.

The actual dragon Charizard is my least favorite Charizard.
But that turtle looks rad.

The new one is not even a dragon. It's a mata mata turtle that fucked a land mine. It could have been fire/ground or fire/water.

If you just look at the design there is nothing, NOTHING, that says "dragon". If they didn't tell the type you would have NEVER guessed it.

Reshiram looks like a dog who fucked a chicken. It may be a dragon for yu-gi-oh and Pokémon standards, but does not look like a dragon to me. Zekrom is much better.

Charizard has always looked like a dragon, even the orange one. This one is a dragon even more because of the spikes and the blue flame.

It's a little silly, but this really is the reason it's a dragon.

OP asked "which one does represent a fire dragon better".

"represent"

2 of them are not dragons by design, and one of them has nothing that looks like fire or that can make you think about fire.

The new turtle coule have been water/dragon or water/ground and nobody would have cared. The design has nothing leading to a dragon type or a fire type.

If it was a water type nobody would have said "but it should be a dragon type" like they do with charizard since gen 1
>>
>>27886435

THIS TRIGGERED MY FEELINGS
>>
>>27886634
Not even slightly.
>>
Charizard X, only member of the Charmander line aside from Charmeleon that I particularly like, even. I like Turtunator but it isn't particularly representative of its typing. I don't like Reshiram in general.
>>
>>27886722
It's partially based on the Tarasque, which is a mythological dragon/turtle hybrid.
>>
>>27886683
Thanks, but it could have been a ground type referencing a normal turtle. Or water/dragon or ground/dragon if you are a Japanese folklore lover. I didn't guess a dragon/fire before the typing icons appeared on the screen.

With Charizard we were actually disappointed it wasn't a dragon.
>>
>>27886597
"Dragon" is hugely broad, anything vaguely reptilian or amphibian could be interpreted as a dragon. Some fish even.

Don't think about dragons as mythological beings, think of them as animals that evolved dragon-like features due to their environment. Flygon, for example, is a "dragon" in name only because it's based on a dragonfly. There's no reason that a desert bug should turn into a classical medieval European dragon with sunglasses. But it works.

Kingdra and Dragalge, what part of seahorse screams dragon? What about Goodra, what person looks at a slug and thinks dragon? Mega Ampharos? It's fucking Pokemon, you can use anything as an inspiration. A turtle dragon is pretty standard.

Shit like Arbok, Heliolisk, Milotic, Altaria, fucking Scrafty, Seviper, and Gyarados are all in the dragon egg group. There's fish, snakes, birds, lizards, amphibians.
>>
>>27886820
And Charizard is based on an european dragon. The "dragon" translation from Japanese folklore is more like "monster"-
They have dog-shaped dragons, horse-shaped dragons, turtle-shaped dragons, tree-shaped dragons. They're not dragons at all.

Also if you're a moonrune reader you can verify by yourself that the long lizard chinese dragon has a different name in japanese from the other "dragons".

It's just a mistranslation. Those are legendary monsters. it could have been Fire/Fairy

>>27887187
The rest of your post was about what defines a dragon/monster in Japan.
>>
>>27887318
And it's semantics.
The "dragon" translation is just wrong.
They have a different word for the chinese dragon, so we should use 2 different words to translate those, not the same one. But English is dumb.
>>
>>27887318
Many of the things they call "dragon" on wikipedia could just be Fairy type for Pokémon standards. Or any type really, since Pokémon are already monsters. They're all just "folklore beasts" with nothing to do with Chinese dragons and European ones.

Charizard Y has very thin arms (and body), that's why I don't like it.
Normal Charizard has small arms too, but not so small.

Mega Charizard X has bulkier arms and wings. Best of the 3.

Reshiram and that turtle don't even have arms, and Charizard X is way better then Dragonite and Haxorus

No problem dude.
>>
>>27887812
And I agree with you. Dragon type had to be something granting some kind of "legendary status" that makes you resist the other elements (sxcept Ice for some reason).
It was like that before they decided to introduce stuff like Druddigon and this turtle shit.
>>
Zard X looks the most like a fire dragon, Reshiram looks more like a celestial dragon
>>27885249
I think they came out at about the same time. And Asian dragons are usually more associated with water than fire
>>
>>27887873
We didn't get the first Dragon legendary until Gen III though, and that was the same generation that introduced Vibrava/Flygon and Altaria.
Mechanically speaking, Dragon was originally the way it was due to specifically being the middle-end game typing, opposite of how Bug was the way it was due to being the early game typing.

>>
>>27891503
I'm saving your comment.
>>
I didn't really care for Charizard until Mega Y. When I was a kid I found myself dissapointed when my Charmeleon finally evolved. I didn't like how round and fat it got, and how it last the single spike on the back of it's head. Meanwhile, Mega Y retains the middle spike, and slims down considerably. And I think the little arm wings are very cool.

Anyways, like Gyarados, even without the dragon typing, i think it's pretty clear it's supposed to resemble a dragon from myth.
>>
Maybe dragons in Pokemon are just Pokemon that have a closer ancestral connection to the creation trio, and all the similarities to traditional mythical dragons are coincidental.
If a Pokemon gains the typing through evolution or form changing, perhaps it's just tapping into a connection to that bloodline for that instance.

This. Zekrom and Kyurem-R are far better then Dialga and Palkia. Gen 4 is the worst in every aspect.
>>
I think charizard makes a better fire dragon than the the other 2.
To me reshirem looks like maybe a peng or and or a rod. I see nothing that looks looks like a dragon in its design or fire. I think fairy flying would be a better typing.
Tortunator. Looks nothing like a dragon. It looks like a kappa had sex with a turtle. At best maybe this is supports to be base of the mythical Dragon turtle from Chinese mythology, but then it still sucks because its not legendary looking.

Turtonator.
