So what if Typhlosion is in essence a big fat fire-breathing badger? I'd take him and Charizard over your generic fire-breathing chicken any day. I don't even want to discuss the monkey.
...Of course, I'm partial to Generations I and II, mind you.
And can any other fire starters learn Thunderpunch, Earthquake, or Iron Tail like Typhlosion could in G/S/C? I don't recall, but it certainly cemented my love for him from then on.
So, I'm thinking the basic jist of this is that Typhlosion was all: "Hey, wazzup Gold?" Then Gold was all: "..." "..." Then Typhlosion got all pissy and used, I dunno, fire spin or something. Then he complained to Kotone, who then told him about all the other fire-type starters, and Gold's all: "*thinking* What the hell? Those are all major kickass." So, Typhlosion decided to try and be the best fire starter he could be.

ALL of the starters can learn Earthquake from Gen II on. And Thunderpunch is learnable by all 4 Fire Starters, I think.
