comment
A Pokémon parody series by Nekoama.Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur are young 'mons living with the teenage Charmeleon, Wartortle, and Ivysaur, as well as their parents Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. They go on typical childhood adventures to the annoyance of the teenagers and the exasperation of the parents. There are no humans to be seen.The comic has a similar flavor to Calvin and Hobbes, being mostly about kids being kids.Can be found here.In December of 2021, there was a small Schedule Slip of about six weeks before Nekoama announced the comic would be going on indefinite hiatus due to burnout and needing to take a break. In July of 2022 she tweeted to tell fans that she hopes to get back to drawing again, although it will be a "slow process".Finally, on March 24, 2023 a new comic was posted, with Nekoama thanking fans for being so patient. The series is currently on an infrequent update schedule, with no plans about when/if it might go back to its original weekly posts.

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Eevee's evolutionary crisis is similar to someone struggling with their parents' expectations for them—education, career, sexuality/romantic orientation.

Fridge Horror: In-Universe. Charmander and Squirtle think Bulbasaur is going to die in the fall when his plant half dies. The teenagers tell them instead that they have to bury him in the ground or the plant will suck all the life out of him. Charizard has to set them straight.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 Lil Char and the Gang (Webcomic) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: When Ivysaur was younger (still a bulbasaur), she convinced her parents to let her stay home alone for the Christmas season while they vacationed in Sinnoh; at some point she became convinced that someone was going to try to break into the house, so naturally she set up a bunch of elaborate traps to deter the home invaders...but it turned out it was just her imagination and all she ended up doing was making a huge mess.

 Lil Char and the Gang (Webcomic) / int_48e8fe57
comment
Happily Adopted: Squirtle, to the point of decorating the picture of him and his family on adoption day. We learn in "The Good Old Days" that Charmander's mother was adopted by Blastoise's parents, making Mrs. Charmander Bastoise's adopted sister and, by extension, making Charmander and Squirtle cousins. Later confirmed that it's the case of his sister, too. Pidgey might be this, unless one of his dads is his biological dad.

 Lil Char and the Gang (Webcomic) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Oh man, where to begin? Back then, the art style was much more exaggerated, Charmander was the sole star out of the trio, he was a bit more of a Jerkass, and somehow, Charizard was even more of a Jerkass, causing outright misery for his son. Charizard also swore. A lot. Thankfully, all of this was toned down significantly in later comics.

Fantastic Racism: Ghost-type Pokémon apparently face discrimination and are considered taboo due to their undead nature, so much that Eevee is reluctant to come clean to anyone about her friendship with Misdreavus.

Missing Mom: The kids are primarily raised by their fathers. Bulbasaur's mom lives in Johto and he visits her in a story arc, but Squirtle was adopted, and Charmander's mom is dead (exactly how is uncertain), though she appears in a Christmas flashback.

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Averted. Most of the female characters have no features or accessories marking them as female, unless the Pokemon has gender-based features in the games. Newer readers often have to be told that, for instance, Wartortle and Ivysaur are both girls.

Here We Go Again!: Charizard and Pidgeot have a race at the behest of their sons, who each are having a "my dad can beat your dad contest". Charizard wins and Pidgeot is a Graceful Loser, but unfortunately for Charizard, it turns out Pidgey has two dads, and now Charmander wants him to race the other one.
