Yes.You can catch charmander in Pokemon platinum.
you cant you will have to migart
Then you're only hope is trading for a Charmander.
There is no way of getting a Charizard in Pokemon Diamond, Pearl or Platinum. You can transfer a Charmander from Fire Red to your copy of Pokemon Diamond, Pearl or Platinum. A Charmander, Charmillion and Charizard can all be found in Pokemon Heartgold and Soulsilver as a wild pokemon.
You import a Charizard and a Ditto from any game via Pal Park, then breed them together for an egg. It will be a Charmander.
