Why did he leave Charizard
so the writers could leave room on his team to shill the new pokemon
>>56780862So Charizard could get stronger by battling tough opponents instead of effortlessly steamrolling most of Johto.
>>56780862>There is a general for the anime where it can be asked>Makes a seperated thread insteadWhy are you like this?
>>56780862literally just to shill the newer pokemonbut they keep bringing charizard back because people don't like the newer pokemon as much as charizardthere have been some good hits though like sceptile and infernape and greninja
>>56780874>thinks every board is /vg/Why are you like this?
>>56780889>/vg/ out of nowhereWeakest deflection of the illiterate.
>>56780862He got skill NTRd realizing that his SBC couldn’t handle charizard’s virility
>>56780862Watch the episode, anon.
>>56780862Ash was doomed to a life of pain and mediocrity.
>>56780862Because the anime team had no fucking idea how to handle the fact that Ash's Pokemon were becoming too powerful and rendered the new Pokemon they were supposed to be shilling irrelevant, and the only solutions were to either>buff everything in Johto to scale with Ash's seasoned team that finally started reaching ideal performance in the Orange Islands>slowly swap out Ash's Kanto Pokemon with new catches so Johto can stay low-poweredAnd they opted for the latter because the former, their initial approach, was likely hinging on the scrapped Celebi Arc judging from how much tougher Falkner was compared to his game counterpart. And thus, without Celebi, they were free to lower the bar to something more true to the games.
>>56780862Charmander was abandoned for a reason, the story came full circle and he was abandoned again to be somebody else's problem.
>>56780897>projecting
>>56780862Black Rock happened.
>>56780862because he's a pussy
>>56780933Made it all the more annoying that the one he didn't swap out, Pikachu, would go on to lose to a starter Snivy. After all it's been through, it doesn't matter if its electricity was zapped, could just use a Quick Attack or Iron Tail or you know just roughly push Snivy and KO it.
>>56780868Charizard was getting his dick wet
>>56780862>one of the most serious moments in the cartoon people talked about now looks like a comical parody image due to how much they have overused CHARIZARD
>>56780862So charizard could have sex.
>>56780862Look at previous episodes where Charizard completely dominated battles early in the journey. This was before the whole "Oak your mons at the start of the journey" formula was cemented. Ash was stacked early on with a tamed Charizard and catching more mons have become difficult as many Johto would overlap with his remaining Kanto mons.It was a good dramatic way to "thin" the herd as it were. And Charizard returning was always a big event. Eventually they gave more and more reasons for his kanto mons to leave, Bulbasaur had to sort out his Oak'd mons, Squirtle goes back to his old gang to help out the town, until at last they realized they could just have Ash start from scratch whenever he's in a new region except with Pikachu.
