>>51182481>Aggressively shilling specific Pokemon has always been a thingPikachu is the mascot and Charizard before Gen 6 won square and fair, not because of aggressive shilling. Gen 4 was the beta testing of aggressive shilling, Gen 6 is where it started as a trend.
>its apparently okay with Eevee, Lucario and whatnot but Charizard is where you draw the line?Because Eevee and Lucario don't have counterparts and don't make other species look bad, but I agree that they always give Greninja and Blaziken getting retarded special abilities a pass, but not Charizard.
The "Charizard in caps poster" may be a schizo, but the persecution is real, trashnime made Blaziken and Infernape so good that Charizard was surviving only because of TCG, Then Gen 6+ wanted to restore Charizard's popularity artificially, trying to make people forget about the two firefighters while making Charizard the perfect pokemon.
