So with all the leaks going on, it seems like everyone forgot about Shadow the Charizard.

A couple of you earlier in the day were pretending to like this guy. Some of you were pretending that it might even be competitively viable! All in good fun of course, but lets have some serious discussion now about this third trimester abortion that is Charizard X.

So /vp/, where were you when Pokemon officially jumped the shark?
Who's going to get fired for allowing this to get past quality control?
Is this rock bottom for the franchise?
