>>32877142No one can be any gen's Charizard. It can be G7's Lucario (Zoroark, Greninja). You know, the official Shillmon. BEFORE G6 Charizard was not shilled, other than some anime episodes that called him back. No mentions in the games or important appearance or cameo. It remained popular by a combination of factors, namely nostalgia for the anime, genwuners and being a lot of people’s first starter. Its popularity was more natural than Lucario’s but that is a case of the past. If I had to rank how much a pokemon is shilled, it would be Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, Mewtwo, Greninja, Zoroark.
