>>24743871Smogon is not the only meta that matters. And besides competitive viability, there's much more. Charizard has been shoved down everyone's throat since Gen2, where it was the only Kanto starter to appear in the Crystal intro. Since then it's been a downwards spiral. Charizard event here, special Charizard plushes there, Charizard in Smash,
Charizard in Pokkén, Charizard in Mega Evolution Arc, Charizard, Charizard, Charizard. I'm just tired of seeing that thing literally everywhere while most other starters, especially Venusaur and Blastoise, are getting more or less ignored by Gamefreak and marketing companies.
