Charizard is a fire type, which is way cooler to people than water or grass, and it's a dragon. No further explanation required.
Blastoise is a turtle, but it's a turtle with cannons. You don't have to see it do anything to know what it does. It looks strong.
Venusaur can shoot solar beams and deadly powder and shit, but when's the last time you've seen a flower do that? What it does isn't evident, so you've just got the design. And a big toad with a flower growing out of its back just seems less strong than a dragon or a tank turtle.
