>>49938886Not actually bad, but Zard wank has gotten so worse that it has made people sour towards it more.
and when you do look deeper, Gio Charmanderino looks more obnoxious, it's supposed to be like he started out just like red as a simple trainer before the Mob Boss thing, but we have to have Charmanderino in or kids might not get that but also because CHARIZAAAAAARD!!!
Honestly that alone makes the whole flashback worse they couldn't give him anything else.
