About

Chardogon, or also known as Charizard XY, Charagon, Charihopeultimus, Charinuremon, Chaos Ultimate God Chardogon, Ultimate Chaos Cyber Mecha Rainbow Charorochi and many other pompous names but best known as the first, is a series of copypasta-like text that describes what is apparently a Pokemon based original character derived from Charizard. The text is notable for its bombastic, overwrought (and quite possibly an application of Poe's Law) description, background and list of "powers" and "defeated characters" that spans several hundred lines, similar to that of a Mary Sue. Originating from Pastebin, the text has spawned several derivatives with a certain pattern.

An artist's impression of Chardogon.

Origin

Whilst the general format of the text can be attributed to the Ultimate Kyurem Black text that is first seen on May 2, 2014, the first text that mentions Charizard as the base character was the charizard xy paste. Then around July, the character's name progressively changed to Chardogon.

The exact purpose of the text is unknown, but possibly to satirize the elitism and fanboyism surrounding Charizard or the low quality of original characters in general.

scottrosenfeld of DeviantART claims to be the original writer of the pasta and has been continually writing the series since last summer. The thread where he claims to be one can be seen here.

Typical example

Spread

A few months after the first text appeared, several derivatives of the original paste such as chardogon ultimate god, chardogon god and dark mecha chardogon started appearing all over Pastebin, particularly in the months of July and August. Whilst most of the derivatives are essentially the same text with a slightly different (but not less Mary Sue-ish) name attributed to the original character, some derivatives, such as the chardogon guardian of all universes and rainbows or Guardian Hydrocorodeurzard added more characters, attack powers, backstory which all adds to a laughable level of bombast. Another particular feature that is constantly edited is the "trained for x years gained powers" line in the end of the text.

Aside of common text derivatives, some RP text also ridicules the Mary Sue attributes of Chardogon, such as omega chardogon or Fluffy Being His Wonderful Intelligent Self.

Tumblr might also play some part in the proliferation of the text, as some of the most over-the-top examples of the text were posted in some blogs. Example (Requires more research)

On November 9th, the 4chan Pokemon board /vp/ referenced a variant of the paste on this thread. The post garnered numerous replies, and since then the paste became a staple of cringe threads for some time.

Perhaps the most famous example of the text is the number god 100: perfect charizard, which text is displayed above.

A common search of the keywords from the text such as this one can reveal many results.
