>>46374479Other Pokemon my get attention but the but when you add every thing up the amount Charizard gets gets the most outside of Pikachu and it got absolutely insane in Gen VIII.
>A bridge named after it in Black and White> Gets 2 Megas when most starters got nothing >An entire 4-epsiode series dedicated to one of those Megas>A role in Alola as an Poke-Ride>A Gigamax that dominates VGC>An entire region riding its dick about how unbeatable it is because it belongs to their UNDEFEATED CHAMPION>Have the top rank of curry named after it>A victory pose named after it>A fucking car modelled after itTo make the last few points even more insulting Gen VIII get so happened to introduce a new policy of banning Pokemon from certain games. So its not enough that Galar worships Charizard is worshipped as a God, they consider 26% percent of Pokemon unworthy of even existing in Galar (including Arceus THE ACTUAL GOD of Pokemon).
That's not even including the prominence of Kanto starters in other media (admittedly this is more understand since they are the first set)
Now all of a sudden there's a new spinoff and not only are the Kanto starters NOT the used, Game Freak actually chose Cyndaquil of all Pokemon to be the fire start. The Pokemon that is widely considered worse Charizard because Game Freak spend years nerfing it into the ground so that it wouldn't overshadow Charizard, No Earth Power, No Ancient Power, No Set up Moves, Even its 3D model seems like they made the flame absent most of the time because its flame is bigger than Charizard's. And it even got it back it Legends.
