>>31624540One of the things that's always bothered me about how they handled Charizard was how everyone told Ash he should have trained it properly.
How the fuck are you supposed to train something that either assaults you or lazes around literally every time it's called out?
The whole reason Ash even got Charizard to actually listen to him was by saving him from freezing to death. Is this kind of scenario something that normal trainers deal with on a regular basis, and Ash was incompetent for not putting his Pokemon into a life-risking situation that he'd have to save him from?
