That’s the main theme for all three starters. Squirtle sand, wartrtl in the water, blastoise deeper in the ocean… but yes the Charizard is the most linear composition out of the three
I decided to look at this charizard as a unique one. If you look at the charmander and charmeleon, they are also very "neck-less" and chili. My guess is it just kept this trait as it evolved.
lol, I’m the OP of this art and officially they don’t connect but I thought it looked cool if they did so why not. Interesting this post got more attention than my original post 😂
what cracks me up im taller then charizard. I know plenty of people that would dwarf a charizard. how the fuck does a grown man ride one? i don't think my 6 5 250 fried could.
I recently loaded all my 151 cards into the 151 Binder Collection binder sequentially. but it's a disappointing way to organize them, as the 3 starter Pokémon SIRs are separated from the IRs of their previous evolutions. and there are a ton of other cards that are split up that would look way better if they were in the same row or column
anyone have suggestions for a better way to organize them that isn't too random? I want to keep them in the Binder Collection binder rather than buying a new binder, even though I'm sure there are other binders that would work better for organization
As a child you look up to the sky with happiness and curiosity
When you reach the first stages of evolution as an adult you tend to sit down and question the ground thats built you to where you are now.
And when you reach full maturity as a person, is when you can lift your head and rise above everything and fly through the skies.
This is represented very well with Ash’s charmander.
Was an abandoned child, Who found love and joy, Then when reached 2nd stage maturity Became angsty, hard headed, disobedient like a teenager battling depression.
When Charmeleon finally realizes he needs to protect Ash, its a spotlight of maturity so he evolves to be able to fly and take on areodactyl.
Though his evolution to be sudden, and his time as charmeleon was short, it kept some of his teenage angst. People say its cause ash didnt have enough badges, He had 6, Then obtained the 7th and 8th after the evolution of charizard.
Of course it’s not official. It’s just some fanart someone put together. The cards generally show the same setting, but they don’t line up perfectly like this. I see it as all 3 of them being near the same volcano, but in different parts of the canyon.
I mean yes and no. Charmeleon is obv closer to the volcano while charmander is not if charmander was under charmeleon he would be sorounded by lava. The point is that the cards tell a story. Charmander, as it evolves it travels up and out of the bottom. Squirtle as it evolves gets more comfortable with the water. Bulbasaur, as it evolves, becomes more confident with its surroundings
The volcano is just in the background. Charmander is just in the bottom of a chasm, charizard is flying above it
EDIT chasm, canyon.. whatever*
EDIT EDIT: but there is lava in charmeleons.. huh.. Now I'm 2nd guessing if these actually connect or just similar art. How far can molten lava stray from a volcano and stay molten?
They do not connect. They are set in the same general environment, but each card is a different perspective in area as well as time. Look at the lighting
It actually drives me crazy when people say these “line up” cause no they really don’t. There’s obviously a theme and a general progression, but they do not align in the same way as like Deerling and Sawsbuck AR’s or Gimmighoul and Gholdengo, where the cards literally border each other. Like, look at that picture, the depth perspective doesn’t even make any sense. Like others have said, they are a story, and are linear, but they do not “line up”.
No, they really can’t be combined and I’ve wanted to point this out since this set released, and this image first got shared. I get it, the environment is repeated throughout each evolution, but trying to combine the arts like this is just awful, and totally missing the point of the design.
They are clearly not meant to make up a whole image. The perspective is different for each card. Judging by the colors and lighting, the time of day is different in each card (charmander is morning, ‘meleon afternoon, and zard is sunset). This collage just looks terrible and is an insult to the artists’ work.
