Cool-looking dragon. Still looks more draconic than pretty much every Dragon-type but Salamence and to a lesser extent Flygon. Charizard detractors will try to sell you that being "a generic boring dragon" is a bad thing, but for most people that's all they ever wanted.

Dragons are a staple in nearly all cultures. They are deeply rooted in the collective consciousness of humanity.

Charizard appears on the box-art along with Blastoise. I know Pokemon Green exists but that wasn't released internationally. Also, Blastoise and Venusaur did not play such a prominent role outside the games.

Dragons are more marketable than toads or turtles. That combined with his strong presence in the anime and being Ash's strongest Pokémon plus his memorable battles.

While he is still popular in general, most of the furor comes from genwunners.
Ash's Charizard hasn't really done anything since... um, the Hoenn League? That time he fought articuno in the battle frontier?

Zard didn't even come back for the league, he came back for a side arc in some island place. Ash rolled into his final league battle with pikachu, boldore, snivy, oshawott, pignite, and unfezant.

Yes you read that right. Only one fully evolved mon and it was the worst regional bird of all regional birds.

It's among the first starter Pokemon, and if you pick Charmander you can eventually end up with a DRAGON. For a lot of people out there, it doesn't get any better than that.

Giant Toads are part of Japan's mythology culture and most anime use toads over dragons like Naruto and 70s anime.

Charizard got popular because it was the only one advertised and pushed everywhere.
Venusaur didn't even get his game outside Japan and didn't appear much in the anime, Blastoise didn't his game first in Japan and rarely appeared in the anime and when he does, he loses to Charizard while Charizard got the spotlight of Ash's team and kept being pushed in following seasons.

TPC always wanted to turn Charizard into a cash cow
