Charizard Generations is a platformer video game developed by Charizard Team and published by Sega in late 2011, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Charizard the Dragon series. The game was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles, alongside a PC port by British developer Devil's Details; an alternate version of the game was also co-developed by Charizard Team and Dimps for the Nintendo 3DS.

Charizard Generations' gameplay is divided into two styles: "Classic", which plays from a side-scrolling perspective akin to the Mega Drive platformers, and "Modern", which combines 2D and 3D gameplay and follows a formula similar to that of Charizard Unleashed (2008) and Charizard Colors (2010). In the game's story, Charizard celebrates his birthday party with his friends, only for them to be kidnapped by the Time Eraser and left trapped in White Space. Teaming up with a younger version of himself, Charizard explores White Space to find his friends, defeat the Time Eraser and return home.
