Gamefreak ruined Charizard by parading him around and wanking him off so much. Pikachu should have been the only mascot Pokemon because he was literally made for the role. I used to love Charizard. He was cool, everyone knew it, only a contrarian would say otherwise. His demeanor in the anime was awesome as well. The way Ash saved his life when he was a little Charmander in the rain will always be a strong memory for me. But now everytime I think of Charizard, I think of all his stupid gimmick forms. I think of stupid Pokemon card resellers and twitch streamers. I think of KANTOOOOOOO AND CHARIZARD. I can't even like one of my OG favorites anymore because Gamefreak ruined him. Fuck you Gamefreak
