>>46798970>became synonym with bad game designChadizard is actually good game design. It's bthe worst starter by far, in the earlygame, but starts to dominate mid/lategame. There are no Fire Pokemon available, until after the 3rd gym, so having the shittiest starter at the beginning of the game is the price you pay for an earlygame Fire-Type
The decision to make Charizard Fire/Flying was also a wise choice. If it were Fire/Dragon, it would dominate the other two starters, and be too OP. nvm the fact that Dragon isn't actually that OP of a type, and that Zard would still be weak to two (technically three) other types. All starters exist in a vacuum with eachother, and should be balanced in that way, because screw proper teambuilding. If I can't ungabunga the entire game with my starter, then I don't wanna play the shitty game
>Why couldn't they just change it in later entries???Because it's too late, fuckface. Type changes only ever happen when a new type gets introduced, and that's the way it should be
>W-what about muh rotom forms?Should've never happened. Luckily, Game Freak learned from that mistake, and we haven't had a continuity fuckup like that since
