CYNDAQUIL

This is next on the LONG “To Do” list that my daughter gave to me at Christmas time.  Cyndaquil has been one of my favorite Pokemon as well.  It has been said that I am partial to fire Pokemon.  When I was playing the games, I would always pick the fire starter.  Since Cyndaquil is the fire starter from Gold/Silver/Crystal, he was my pick.  This pattern includes the color lists for both Cyndaquil and Shiny Cyndaquil.
