You have to understand that a lot of the kids on /vp/ are fighting an imaginary "war" against the "Facebook genwunners", they feel like crusaders that must go against it because the "genwunners" like it.
The Charizard fiasco came from Smogonfags, who make the decision to play a kids game competitively. You have to note that their inside jokes were adopted by the crusading anti-genwun kids.
That being said, Gen 2 is my favorite.
