Charizard lost to Dragonite a bit before Johto I believe and he beat the Articuno after the Hoenn so it was quite a bit of time.

i used to live in a city where clouds were only 80 feet above our heads. "clouds" by themselves dont mean anything.no animal has ever flown that high, and the only aircraft that have ever reached that altitude are jets, and that is because they possess...
the reason why jet thrusters allow jets to fly that high up is because that way they dont depend on the air actually providing lift. objects with wings (including helicopters) do. thats why helicopters cant fly above 40,000 feet. past that point there is simply not enough air to keep it afloat. and that specific helicopter is the #1 most powerful helicopter humans have, and its a one of a kind. all the rest can barely go past 8,000 feet before there's not enough air.
edit- theres also the matter of lack of breathing for charizard, and redding out and blacking out. all of these factors would prevent a biological creature from flying that high without the use of magic or mechanics.
Jets have wings. These wings provide the lift, the thrusters only allow them to move at the speed required to attain said lift in a thinnner atmosphere. /win.
Winged flight is possible higher than that, Charizard is perfectly capable of it. We see him fly up, past the clouds, watch the island and mountain/volcano below shrink to ridiculousness, and then Charizard throw Magmar down.

and charizard does not have thrusters.
therefore you owe me some kind of sugary delights, because i win.
preferably cookies, mrs. fields, but chocolate cake will do as well. i want it by saturday at noon. >\
and charizard does not have thrusters.he has the speed without them.

I have a bunch of vanilla cookies. It'll take me a biiit longer to get to what I believe is probably California? than that, though.

prove it hoe. >\im in los angeles yesh. DUN WANNA HEAR NO EXCUSES THOUGH.
The highest a bird has ever been recorded to fly was some Griffin Vulture, nearly 38,000 feet up in the air. How high is that, high enough for Scream's argument?It's helpful, but I don't think pokemon are typicly limited by what real animals do. 😛

Yep. And I believe it was argued that if the anime and game were to disagree on points, the game would win. 🙂
Originally posted by Heythere,HoneyHe circled with the earth in the distance in that one >_> But I ignored it because it was ridiculous.
I accidentally posted his flight altitude was 5600 on an earlier post. Meh, Zard's Toss on Magmar was kewl, but I think it was just animation effex to look kewl. Heck, the animation on the Toss in later episodes was Charizard circling t3h eart a few times.
Where's it say 4600 feet?
