Yes, although I don't really get why it's Japanese name is Lizardon, hinting that it's a lizard, because even if, technically, he isn't a Dragon by type (he's Fire/Flying. :/), he is by appearance, that would have to be one awesome lizard.
But no, I think of it as a flying, fire breathing dragon, last I checked lizards aren't able to breathe fire!
Anyways, on topic. As you might guess if you notice my sig before reading the message my favourite is Charizard, it is my 2nd favourite Pokémon of all time, it, for a while, was my favourite, but the 4th generation introduced me to my new favourite Pokémon: Lucario.
But Lucario is the one and only Pokémon I like more than Charizard, and is my most wanted character for Brawl, which, after over 2 years, hasn't been confirmed to be playable in brawl through all the time it's been being developed...
But Charizard had been my second most wanted playable character for brawl, so I'm thrilled that he's in, that was a happy day that 13th of August, I'll be plenty satisfied if just Charizard is in and Lucario isn't, though both being playable would be great.
But I'm thankful, honestly I didn't think Charizard would ever be playable, that dying hope actually came true despite the fact that he has always appeared in Poké Balls in the two previous installments, I am quite shocked, as I was with Snake, he'll be a cool character.
I think this is good, this isn't replacing an other character, it shares a spot with the PT, a character that is like 3 in 1, yet only takes up 1 spot on the character select screen, and can swap between those three Pokémon characters he uses in midst of brawls to take advantage of situations.
