(I discovered SAI today and asked myself, “could I, a mere mouse artist who has only ever drawn in MS Paint, learn to draw in a different program?” Then I managed to make this and I’m downright angry at the fact it looks okay. It took about twice as long as MS Paint and I know it’s full of plenty of mistakes, but it still looks pretty good in my opinion. I think I’ll use it for Charizard’s profile page once I get that done.)

Hugs are always a good cure for pretty much everything!

(@dailyhelioptile​ I’m so sorry it took so long. ; ~;)

“Well hello! Aren’t you a spunky little thing? It’s a pleasure to meet you- my name’s Charizard.”

...

“Er, I’m beginning to see how odd it is not to have a proper nickname.”

Sometimes the only thing you can do is be there. Sometimes that’s exactly what’s needed.

“Non, non, non! You are lucky that Charizard is predisposed at the ball and is not here himself. He is not tolerant of pictures involving Giovanni.”

“That said, yes, that is a much smaller Charizard. It also would benefit from a few less pokepuffs, if I may be so bold as to say. Their belly is practically dragging on the ground and their head is very tiny.”

“If you would like a proper explanation as to why this is, however...”

*tap*

“Our Charizard is so very large because he is the result of a rare breeding. His papa was a Charizard from a line that is well known for their strength, making them excellent starters at the cost of being more difficult to handle. It just so happens that this line also carries the possibility of being much larger than normal.”

“We will use this very simplified example. The red creature has what we will call the RR gene. The yellow creature, likewise, has the YY gene. When they are bred together, we will say that the two genes do not make a new one when combined, but override each other. As such, there are two outcomes possible: another RR offspring or a YY offspring. However, the gene pool has been muddied and they now carry the other gene. The YY child will look just like the YY parent, but think of it as having “half” of the RR gene, represented by the single (R). Without the second R, the gene is invisible.”

“Now, let’s say you have two creatures that carry this invisible (R). When bred together, there is a chance (only a chance) that these two ordinary YY parents will throw an RR child. They each have “half” of the RR gene, meaning it’s possible that they will complete each other rather than simply create more YY children.”

“Keep up, s’il vous plait. That is the hardest part out of the way.”

“Returning to Charizard, both his parents carried a gene relating to size. Unknown to the breeders or their respective trainers, a Charmander was hatched possessing this hidden gene and then given away as a starter Pokemon.”

“The result, of course, was a Charizard much larger than normal with the colors taken from both the parents.”

“In conclusion, Charizard’s size is something he inherited. History also suggests that at one time all Charizard were that large, but natural selection favored the slightly more compact ones with sturdier wings and more fat reserves when food was scarce, leaving us with those like the small-headed creature in this submitted screenshot.”

Charizard doesn’t understand it, but these shades make him feel like roaring a lot and playing with bugs. @guzmadaily

Charizard wants to learn Relic Song!

… Charizard and Relic Song are not compatible. @dailymeloetta
