Talk:Charizard/@comment-4918670-20140630123407

Menslady, I ve seen  many over rated Pokemon lists and Charizard usually is number 1 or somewhere close to it. He's one of my favorite pokemon in Kanto and all time. I have 7 possible ideas to why

1. Many claim it's the best pokemon despite it's 4 tmes weaknesss to Stealth Rock,

2.it's the most seen pokemon of Ash's after Pikachu (Who is also seen as overrated)

3. Even those who don't know Pokemon know Charizard

4. It got 2 Mega Evoultions instead of one like Venasaur and Blastioise in X and Y (So Did Mewtwo who is also seen as overated)

5. It became a playable character in the new Smash Bros unlike Squirtle and Ivysaur in Brawl

6. It's weak in the games compared to the anime and how it's shown there

7. is regarded in fandom circles as a symbol for "Genwunners" — people who prefer the first generation over any other, and are often perceived as doing little but complain about later games.
