It is a very common thing, not just in pokemon fandom people liking mediocrity. Go figure.

It's not the worst. It's the only starter that isn't a tank, which is why it's so popular. Just a matter of taste.

What the f*ck OP.......
You seriously can't see why the fire breathing lizard is more popular than a g*oddamn water turtle or grass toad? Jesus chirs*, get some insight.

>it was placed on the first spot on Oak's table in RB so many people (like me) ended picking it up by accident
>the only Kanto starter that evolved in the original anime, complete with a 2sad4u storyline (that later got rehashed 2 times for two other fire starters)
>it's a fire breathing dragon
gee, I wonder why

Usually the simplest and bland designs are the most popular. It's a shame.

Charizard is just a generic dragon and this concept is boring as fuck.

And Bulbasaur was actually placed LAST even though he was the easiest starter to beat the game with.

Too much contrarianism in this thread for me.
Charmander and its evolutions are good, but not the best.

The most popular one in my school was actually Bulbasaur, followed by Squirtle.

I picked Charmander because I was a contrarian little shit.

You HAVE to pick the fire type starter, if you're playing to win. The developers fucking hate fire, and they are NOT going to give you any other good fire types until you get legendaries. Want a good fire type at all for the first 90% of the game? You have no choice but to take the starter.

Because fire.

People who like fire are the absolute worst, there is literally nothing worse than a firefag.

In R/B?

Due to Special being a single stat both Vulpix and Flareon are actually quite strong. Their Special Attack gets nerfed hard after the split in Gen II though.

They are the heartless kind of people that are like ""this is so badass and powerful, I can make use of this" and have a full team that only knows hyperbeam, thunder, blizzard, fireblast and earthquake. And they are the most normie.

Worst only in the short run. In the long run, Kanto didn't have a lot of good fire types, but had plenty of decent grass and water types. Charizard could easily be paired well with, say, Vileplume and Gyarados

Because it has the best design out of all the starters.

It sucks that pokemon such as blazikan and that weird spikey grass starter exist.

Concept doesn't matter as much as design.

You could come up with some thing awesome like a ice dragon that shoots lazer beams out of it's eyes but if the character design lets down the concept it's still lame.
