>>58647511I'm tired of Charizard. I hate KANTOOO callbacks in the game. I'm still mad that Charizard got 2 Megas at all. I loathe that fat fucking lizard non-dragon cunt, I hate how he ruined Ash's first attempt at the pokemon league, and how ash lost against it when using a new Water starter against it.
By all accounts, I hate Charizard.
That said, I actually love Charizard. It was amongst my first Pokemon loves. It was the coolest to me out of the original starters when I was a wee child.
I adore Charizard X. I grew up with Pokemon and Digimon. Greymon was the COOLEST for at least a year. Omnimon was, and to a degree, still is the coolest Monster design I've ever seen.
Mega Charizard X embodies the Maximalist attitude of Digimon just enough to launch base Charizard into a realm of Childhood Wonder and Fascination that, by Gen 6, I had though I had long lost.
I despite KANTOOOO nostalgia bating to my very marrow
And yet I adore Mega Charizard X. I love everything about it. It's unironic Edgyness, it's 2 cool 4 school colour scheme, its random spikes, and especially its billowing blue flame bursting from the edges of its mouth. It's beautiful. It is without amongst the most Epic and Coolest pokemon about.
And you know what else? I prefer it's garish Shiny form more. More than most other pokemon.
I hate Charizard, and I hate Gen 1.
But I Adore Shiny Mega Charizard X.
How bout that.
