Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
Charmander is a starter Pokémon the player can choose from at the beginning of "Pokémon Red" and "Blue", and their remakes, "Pokémon FireRed" and "LeafGreen". Charmander and the other starters from "Red" and "Blue" are replaced by Pikachu in "Pokémon Yellow", the only starter available in it. Instead, they are each obtained from certain NPCs. In "Pokémon HeartGold" and "SoulSilver", as a reward from Professor Oak after defeating the final boss, Red, the player can choose from Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. In "Pokémon X" and "Y", players can also choose between Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle near the start of the game shortly after having chosen the games' new starter Pokémon. It also appeared in "Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire", ' and "Pokémon Sword and Shield". Outside of the main series, Charmander has appeared in "Pokémon Go", "Hey You, Pikachu!", "Pokémon Snap", "Pokémon Puzzle League", the "Pokémon Mystery Dungeon" games, the "Pokémon Ranger" games, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu, ', "Pokémon UNITE", "New Pokémon Snap", and other "Pokémon" games. A Pokémon stage in Super Smash Bros. called "Saffron City" features an area where various Pokémon pop out to try to attack players; one such Pokémon is a Charmander that sometimes uses Flamethrower.
