Gotta Catch Em All - Week 2 - Fire Pokémon


So the Nail Art continues.. here is my attempt at Week 2 - Charmander!

I expected Charmander to be a favourite because he's a starter pokémon, but I love all the starter pokémon for all the games. I never EVER picked Charmander as my starter in game though. I always went for Bulbasaur :)
The reason I love Charmander so much is for his storyline in the animé. If you watched Pokémon as well as played it, you will remember that Ash comes across Charmander in the woods and tries to catch him, but Charmander won't let him because he is waiting for his owner to return.

 Charmander belonged to a horrible owner who abandoned him in the rain - he said Charmander was weak and stupid and so told Charmander to wait on the rock for him to come back. Charmander, being a loyal pokémon, waited through a storm for him and his tail fire almost went out. You see him curled on the rock in the storm holding a leaf over his head. Ash then rescued him and Charmander then chose to stay with Ash when his old owner decided to come back and get him. It was the first episode where I got emotional but definitely not the last! (Worst was definitely where Ash had to say goodbye to Butterfree!)

  5. I TOTALLY forgot about Charmander's origin story. I love this post! Your nails are adorable =] I never picked Charmander for my starter either, because my brother did. I went for Squirtle =P Or Pikachu in my yellow version of course ^_^
