Better odds of surviving until hospitalisation than eating a Flamethrower or Fire Blast
Razor leaf is like having hundreds of knives thrown at you simultaneously. Hydro pump you basically die almost instantly. There’s a reason water jet can be used to cut metals.
The water jets they use to cut metal only work because the stream is so narrow. Hydro pump is more like getting hit with multiple full-blast fire hoses at once
Found this article about this Turtles with cannons: an analysis of the dynamics of a Blastoise’s Hydro Pump
I don't know if it's right but interesting nonetheless
A firehose for comparison is usually minimum 200psi. Close up would hurt really badly but the chances of dying aren't great. At 20ft away you'll just get really wet. Their numbers aren't wrong but the analysis of what the numbers mean is probably pessimistic for the Charizard.
True, water has never killed anyone
Pick Charmander, it eventually becomes Charizard which is
big lizardy looking thing has large wings breathes fire
and also
is not Dragon type cannot learn Fly
Gen 1 was great but it often didn’t make a lot of sense.
He could learn Fly in the Yellow edition then you could transfer it to red/blue.
But yeah, Gen 1 had all kinds of issues.
Played only once, was Blastoise, no regerts
I played several times.
My favourite move set was bulbasaur.
Anon doesn't know about Gen 1 Leech Seed abuse.
The OG Pokemon was so unbalanced and had such a huge bias in favor of Grass types that I legitimately don't understand why anybody would pick the other two unless they were doing a challenge run.
And fire types SUCK SO BAD. They can't kill anything. They don't even do that much damage to the grass types who just Leech Seed them all to death.
I think this is completely intentional design. Picking charmander was literally intended to be the OG challenge run
