>someone likes Charizard, uses their one that they ended up loving, likely from FRLG. There's absolutely zero problems throughout this time period, Charizard fan can keep broing it out with their favorite mon.>Gen 6 comes out and shills with megas, which completely change playstyle. Charizard X in particular is superior AND has a different niche entirely, being phys-oriented. Charizard from older gens needs to be scrapped in favor of the newer ones, whereas most other megas fit snugly with older variants of the mons.>Mega Charizard is also the only thing keeping Charizard good. It's an absolute shitmon otherwise, and not using it is a liability.>Megas get cut in Sword and Shield. The Charizard from XY that you used for a mega is now worthless, as the new one likely has an entirely different niche.That's the Charizard problem.
While mons like Manectric significantly get worse without their mega, Charizard gets raped due to its constant need to be replaced and trashed over time. Least with Manectric your Hoennbro stuck it out with you since it stayed consistent, didn't need to be obsoleted and rebred every single gen due to retarded shilling and would continue to have a favorable build to this day.
Basically, Charizard shilling means Zard fans are forced to replace their Charizard for the new hot gimmick set Zard more than anyone else, because being GF's slut means getting ridiculous builds that don't even fit its original purpose.
