>>41001245Since the 90s? Charizard has always been a series mascot alongside pikachu and eevee. Charizard merchandise outsells most other pokemon.
Only in weirdo furry autism forums like this do people unironically subscribe to the idea that “Charizard is a starter so he has to be limited to same treatment as every other starter” as if the marketing department at Nintendo will somehow believe that advertising Samurott will somehow yield the same power as advertising Charizard.
Charizard sells games, sells toys, sells comics. Everyone knows him.
