How to get Charmander as your Pokémon in Red Rescue Team?

Question

When the remake of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon came out, I decided to play the original, because I don't have a Switch. On my first try, I managed to get Charmander as my main character. But due to how the game works on my emulator (I'm using the VBA), it didn't save. So I tried again with the intent to add save states this time, and I had a different set of questions, and I would get something entirely different, like Cubone, no matter how many times I reset.
My question is: how do I ensure I get a male Charmander specifically as my character (not as my partner but as the main character)?

You can use this guide (one I have used many times for this game) to find out. There are 50 questions you could be asked and only 9 that will actually be asked. The way to get Charmander is by answering the questions with the 'Hardy (male) or 'Brave' (female) answers, if you don't get some questions that give you the opportunity to be more "Hardy" or 'Brave' than anything else then quit and reset the game.
These are the questions you are looking for for Hardy:
