This mon is on fire, on Firrreeerrrrreee
Sorry had to, OK i will be the the first to admit Fire is generally not a type i select very often, for me i rarely use it, and to be honest not since gen 1 has there been that many good Fire Pokèmon i have really be interested in. To Begin with fire then other then the starter, tends to be a rare type. With Gen one being the first game also had the most non legendary fires entered into the Pokèmon world.
Like always this is my personal opinion, and legendaries will not be allowed in typing blogs. (Sorry Moltres and Ho-oh) With out further Adu

Charizard Family: For a lot of people myself included, this family was one of our first introductions to the world of Pokèmon. To this day this still tends to be a popular family, to me i think they are a little over hyped. I tend to shy away from things everyone uses, and is def one a lot of people love. For me i like little Charmander more then Charizard. Still i have always love the design of a dragon, and was a little delighted and the newly released Mega evolution with dragon is kind of kick ass…except for the mustash, yeah i said it…what are you gonna do about it?

Ninetails: This is such a nice looking Fire Pokèmon, and i have to tell you i really didn’t appropriate it all that much until recently. When they announced Fennekin, i must admit i was hoping it would evolve into something like ninetails, with my recent return to loving Naruto i would have loved a Ninetails to name Kurama. Sadly that doesn’t look like Fennekin’s fate. My only complaint about ninetails, is the same complain i will have with the next one, is the stone evolution. I firmly believe a pokèmon should be at a certain level before it allows a stone to be used on it. Otherwise you can just evolve it throw it in a box, its only by leveling in my opinion do you really grown to appropriate each Pokèmon and thee individual traits. Still i must love the simple elegance there is to this fire Pokèmon.

Arcinine: Like Ninetails before it i love his design, and sometimes i think when they dreamed up Entei they used him as a roll model. When i selected yellow, Growlithe was the fire i could catch in that version, and raise him i did. i ended up growing quite attached to him but alas, that stupid stone i think in the end kept me from really bonding with this one. I have used him as a fighter but have also been on the defending end of this guy and he still holds up, Arcinine is one tough fire dog, and should continue to be respected.

Rapidash: There are surprisingly very few Pokèmon out their that are designed like a horse, (and like a bazillion, dog and cat ones). On top of that i also think that Rapidash is one of the more unappreciated Fire Pokèmon in the game. It is to bad too because this one is pretty darn fast, and my wish with Pokèmon X-Y with that ability to ride pokèmon you will see this speedy fire horse used a lot more. (i mean come on why does the goat get ridden first!!!) I think this one as much as i like Arcinine is my favorite gen 1 Fire, while its only two evolutions, you do have to spend time with it to get it to evolve. Its fast, and it learns Bounce now which is pretty annoying if your on the receiving end, but effective. My Hope is that Repidash gets a little more attention in the upcoming game and maybe even a third evolution or even a mega evolution, who knows that the future hold for this guy, but I can always see Rapidash as one of my favorites.

Houndoom: When Dark Type was first introduced in Gen Two, there were Two Dark types i really took to right away, Umbreon was one, and Houndoom was the second. Houndoom is a great strike fighter, good speed and nice attacks to utilize those moves. This guy was everything you would think of when it came to a hell hound (Except minus a head or two) I named my Cerberus and we got along very well. I will however say this is probably one fire that hasn’t aged well, from what i can see. It’s move set is pretty darn consistent with what it had when it started out in silver, given some minor tweaks here and there. It continues to have good speed and attack but it like most fires is not a defensive Pokèmon. Still I do love its design and its another one i would be quite happy to see another evolution too. I think that maybe a big issue with a lot of my fires on this list, they are all good, but the just need that one more step, another evolution to make them outstanding Fires.

: Blaziken Family: The Rule Breakers. Up until the third gen, and honestly even after third gen I always picked grass as my starting Pokèmon. For one reason or another Treecko just was not doing it for me, but then i met little Torchic and i fell instantly in love with it. For me there has been no other fire starter since then, i mean just look in to Torchic’s eyes. It also didn’t hurt that gen three was notoriously thin on fire pokèmon, and Blaziken was the best you could get. Blaziken also changed how i battled, up until it i never used Fighting Pokèmon in a team. It was Because of Blaziken my eyes opened to fighting as well, and yes i know there are now two other fire/ fighting out there. but i dislike monkey pokèmon (Sorry) and i am not that impressed my the pig either. Blaziken was the first and in my opinion the best of this typing and will always be my favorite Fire Pokèmon.
