Do you really hate him? Sure he's shilled left and right but it's not his fault He's so based
He should've been fire/dragon.>but then water wouldn't be supper effe-Empleon is part steel type.
>>740049957Right, and infernape had fighting moves. the gen 4 starters are all balanced to be able to deal with each other.
CHARIZAAAAARDFROM KANTOOOOO
>>740049878I was an anime only during gen 1, so it was my least favorite of the three starters, even though if I experienced the games first it probably would've been my favorite.Overall I'm neutral toward it.
>>740049878From Reptincel to Chadizard
Charizard was my favorite when I was younger. I never cared or knew if people didn't like him. He looked the coolest
>>740049878he is awesome. i'd say he's the coolest but blastoise is pretty dank too
I like Blastoise more but he's fineI haven't paid enough attention to pokemon in the past 15 years to get autistic over who gets pushed for merch or whatever
>>740049878Not liking charizard is a sign of low T
>>740049957>He should've been fire/dragon.Too op.
>>740050272>who gets pushed for merch or whateverit's really not even that. every game since like gen 4 has given you a mandatory charizard, and it's so strong and fire so rare that it's really pointless to just not use it.
>>740049878he's alright but we all know there's another mon' who's better than him
>>740050414>pedophlosion
>>740049878It’s the fact that he gets preferential treatment over the other two starters that sours me on him. Look at the hoenn starters, they got pretty even treatment with the megas, meanwhile charizard gets 2.
>>740050414Being Typhlosion must be terrible, because you had to follow up on Charizard, but not only that, he's the only fire type you have access to since houndoor and slugma are locked behind post game, and two of the gym leaders are stealing ice
>>740050696Don’t forget about the bug gym too, also having thunder punch in gen 2 is really good.
>>740050694Not to mention Gen 8 where Charizard gets a super special Dynamax form that is the final thing you have to kill before beating the main story. If you like Venusaur or Blastoise you need to vomit the extra $30 for the DLC to get to use them.And in competitive environments Charizard is THE meta.
>>740050784Yeah if you think Bulbasaur in Gen 1 is easy mode, cyndaquil in Gen 2 is baby mode, there are also no major trainers who have a type advantage against him
>>740049878>Liking the manlet glorified lizardGive me the tank turtle with cannons or the monstrous toad/plant hybrid instead.
>>740050696They tried so little with Typhlosion that his entire evolution line has copy pasted stats with Charizard. Then again, gen 2 starters were lame motherfuckers overall, as gen 3 is when they remembered to make them cool again.
>>740050878chuck has poliwrath, pryce has dewgong, and clair has kingdra
>>740050974Considering he can learn thunder Punch which at the time was a special attack and with a base special attack of 109 there wasn't much to worry about
Back in the day it was either him or Blastoise, only the wierd kids liked Venusaur.
I still love Charizard. I think he's overrated. I think GF fellates him way too much. But the kid in me still sees Charizard as his ace partner. Umbreon is my shouldermon
I like Slurpuff, so I'm not allowed an opinion on these sorts of discussions.
>>740051768Every Pokemon is somebody's favorite
I-is that...is that...C-c-CHARIZARD?FROMKANTOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>740051832Except Simisear lol
For me it was Totodile
>>740049878charizard is fine. still a pretty cool design, even nowprobably the best design of the 3. the cannons on blastoise are very difficult to explain naturalistically, and it's weird that venusaur would be perpetually flowering
>>740049878Quite the opposite. I love my big orange (non) dragon
I'm glad we all like him now
>>740050303Charizard especially in Gen 1 needs all the help he can get, not that its a buff since going x1 on Water, a type that always runs Ice coverage, which Fire doesn't resist until Gen 2, does nothing. I guess you can come in on Electric types, and now you die to Earthquake.>b-but other startersCongrats on winning the paralympics?Can't even be better than not fully evolved mons.
>>740049878the normie pokemon of the day.i always tjought blastoise and venusaur were cooler
>>740049878I used to think he as cool but now I know he sucks
>>740049878>not even a dragon>can't even fly in gen 1Step aside
>>740053357>orange barney
just realized how stupid his legs are conceptually lmao why are they so fat short and round
>>740049878Charizard X
>>740049878no, he's the coolest starter of his gen
>>740049878No, all the Gen 1 starters look good. So do all the Gen 2 starters. Swampert looks like Cell lost a fight with a garbage disposal and it was all downhill from there
For me, its my nigga Ty.>b-b-but the files!Fake and gay.
>>740049878One of my favorites, if he's available he's usually the Fire-type I go with.
>>740049878still a top 10 for me and CharY is its canon mega as far as I'm concerned because it lets me Flamethrower (or Heat Wave in doubles) harder
>>740053610y is cooler
>>740053357>can't even fly in gen 1Does he know? pokemon yellow, nigga
>>740049878I hate him because of what he represents. Not just corporate shilling and greed, but also the sheer scrubbery of the noobs that like him and pretend he's totally cool and strong and viable in OU and doesn't get humiliated by sneaky stones. Garchomp is better and can stay in OU forever because he's actually good and well designed unlike Overratedzard.
>>740053968>Overdesignedchomp>good
>>740049878No i like Charizardthe problem started when gen 5 flopped and then the series started doing the whole KAAAAANTOOOO as damage control, before then it was fine
>>740053968>compfagYour kind needs to be cremated alive.
>>740054151>gen 5 flopped>?
>>740049878Its still a fire/dragon to me regardless of what those hacks at gamefreak think
>>740050414THE STATE OF FLORIDAHAS ASKED US TODISCLOSE OUR SEXUAL CRIMES TO YOU
>>740052295Take away intimidate and see how fast he drops to NU
>>740054247I think he takes the mantle of honorary Dragon, he can learn most of the moves, just like how Noctowl is an honorary psychic
>>740054352>take away what makes him good and see how bad he isHey, just like all the other good Pokemon, take away what makes them good and they become bad.
>>740049878>Do you really hate him?I don't really care enough about pokemon anymore to particularly resent him or what the retards in charge have been doing with him for the past decadeWith that said I probably enjoy the shitposts surrounding zard more than zard himself at this point
>>740049878>geodude used rock slide!
>>740055074>Missed due to 90% accuracy Charizard use Brick break
>>740054970>incenroar is so good>hes got great typing>the best move set>One of the best stat spreadsOkay take away the best ability in the game and give him something more balanced to all the other starters>NOOOOO OMG YOU CANT DO THAT. HES USELESS OTHERWISE THATS THE ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT HIMFuck off Wolfy no one cares how many cocks you sucked
I like Rhyhorn.
>>740055282I was expecting it to be the size of a horse at the very least.
>>740055301Yeah in my head canon he's rhino sized, maybe a little smaller but not much.
>>740055074>charizard uses any dragon move
>>740050696Gen 2 is jank kino
>>740055267>Wolfy
>>740055282Why did they do it
>>740055407Leftist pretends not to know things to prevent discussionIts okay i accept your concession. Incineroar should lose intimidate and theres no argumennt to be made against it
>>740055440The problem started with Rhydon desu senpai
>>740055609>immediately starts screaming about leftistsI'm sorry, am I supposed to be knowledgeable about this person? How important are they?
>>740049878He's so cool and handsome
>>740049878Not really, he has over 100 special atk and speed so it is a good mon.
>>740055760>gets called out for being a faggot>doubles downNigger you have google. You can learn shit on your own
>>740049878He’s one of the best designs they ever made. Simple but effective.
>>740050549And how is that a bad thing somehow?
>>740056397Why should I give a flying faggot's farting face about this person?
Here's my current one in fire red (switch)
>>740052496Blastoise fucking sucks
>>740052496Usage doesn't always indicate strength. Electivire was OU in gen 4 but it absolutely was not a top tier mon, people just used it a lot. Blissey is currently in RU but nobody would consider her weak. She just has a very particular role.
>>740055282
>>740049957it was the first game, they had to play things straight. Dragon then is different from Dragon now
>>740057684Cute clip but my god modern pokemon is so ugly
just had a Zard Y team lead me to Masterball tier in Pokemon Champions AMA
>>740050414I actually carry around a point-and-shoot film camera, and regularly take pictures of people in public to add to my own cringe compilation. I make sure the flash is on and say "SNAP" when I do it.The following is a list of situations in which I've added people to my cringe compilation:1. A man I was secretly watching at the gym was unable to complete a full set during his workout (I was counting) and at an unimpressive weight no less.2. An elderly woman on the bus dropped her change while attempting to pay for a ticket.3. The gentleman making my sandwiches at subway had to ask for clarification no less than 3 times during the sandwich creation process.4. You made this post5. My waitress became visibly upset after I refused to tip her for providing merely adequate service. I should not be forced to provide additional compensation regardless of the amount of food she served me and the time I spent dining.6.I regularly pretend to add women to my cringe compilation when in actuality I am taking pictures of their feet.The picture I've included with my post is Charizard; he is my favorite Pokemon and is NOT in my cringe compilation.
>that one charizard reprint>AGAIN for the 30th annivim tired boss
>>740049878I never cared for Charizard. Every time I replay R/B or FR/LG I always pick Squirtle or Bulbasaur. Can't even remember the last time I picked Charmander.
>>740052496Christ, Venusaur fell to PU? He used to be UU
He's just cool
>>740049957I dont even see empoleon as a water type, its just a steel type without a fire weakness with the addition of water STAB as far as im concerned.
>>740049878Gyarados was always cooler.
>>740049878>>740049878>Sure he's shilled left and right but it's not his fault He's so basedNo it is charizard's fault. The zard shilling was especially cancerous in sword shield and scarlet and violet A fucking JEET was larping as a genwunner Also manlets can't be based KANTOOOOOOOOMUH BASE SET CHARIZARDZardfags get the rope
>>740049957Empoleon hasn't been relevant in over a decade
>>740049878>Hate himNah. I don't hate things because they are overshilled.He is kind of crap though in game. But it's a cool design and I like a challenge.
>>740063772>Average IQ of people posting Jeet memes I can't wait until you are totally replaced by Indians and the average intelligence of a country actually goes up.
>>740058932*SNAP*
>>740063823Empoleon is my favorite water starter, and it had some relevance back during PL:A and the gen 4 remakes.
