Real talk: I don't see how anyone could actively hate Charizard for what it is. It's just so cool.

Hating its fanbase is fair game however. :P

Argue the point.


Why argue opinions. It's a waste of time o.o

Then don't lol at my post and do nothing else. It's rude.


I lol'd at how you are projecting your opinions so forcibly that you believe them to be just straight up facts.

It's opinion, but it's an opinion so unfathomable and bizarre that it basically just...has the appearance of somebody being objectively wrong.

Hate/dislike. Semantics. I don't have those feelings towards Charizard in either case. He's not in my personal top 10. He's not even in my top 30. He's certainly better than a whole slew of pokemon. It's just his matchups tend to be against pokes I really like a lot, and those matchups tend to be early on =/

Tee hee. I don't hate Charizard, silly. It really is the fanbase that projects him as so much better than he actually is that makes me antivote him. So you're actually being counterproductive to Charizard's success.


Yes, the guys who treat it like it's god's gift to gaming (it's not) and pretend it deserves to win like every contest ever (it doesn't) pretty much force my antivoting hand every time.

Charizard is in my top 50, and I have absolutely no disrespect to anyone who has it in their top five- that is until they start parading it around like it's the best thing since sliced bread and that "your favorite" (regardless if what it is) is inferior. That superiority complex gets on my freaking nerves and makes me vote Zard a lot less than I normally would.

I like it, really.

Yeah, I don't mind Charizard either. Like he's pretty cool, I prefer Charmander but I don't hate Charizard.

What I do hate is when people come in and start going around saying Charizard should be in every top 10 and that everyone who takes him out for anything at all is awful and completely wrong.

I never learned to play while I was collecting them. That came from playing the GBC game and even then I didn't have that much interest in the actual game. I just like having stuff with Pokemon on it. =D

I like it, really.

Your favourite Pokemon is very likely to be worse than Charizard, though. People are right to think that. I mean I respect the opinion, but it's not a great one (still a good one though, depending on who is there instead))

It is the Pokemon. I've said before it's Pokemon royalty and I'm right - Charizard is the king and basically always will be. It's like I said before, and I was 100% serious - not liking Zard is the Pokemon equivalent of not liking sex or bacon or chocolate or not being run over by a blimp on fire filled with lepers or whatever.

I have no problem with you guys who like it without loving it. But since disliking it is for all intents and purposes objectively wrong, Charizard haters are essentially crusaders for justice.

In many ways I am Batman.

Yeah... Basically if every Charizard fan was like starfox, I would not antivote it half as often. starfox is grateful whenever Charizard performs well. He roots for most of his favorites quietly and respectfully and doesn't pretend like Zard is entitled to win everything just because it's Zard.

I guess that's the kicker. Most Zard fans ooze that feeling of entitlement and it makes me feel icky whenever they get what they want because you know they're gonna rub it in your face and piss all over your favorites in the process because Charizard rules and everything that's not Charizard is inherently worse and can suck it.

What makes it worse is that even your most popular favorite can't really hope to compete so it always gets so close and yet so far...

And see what XIII just said is going to make me antivote Zard next list. Just you watch.

And after the guys it has lost to previously, I'm sort of numb to it now so do what you want. I'm literally not sure if it's possible to get a better top 10 than ours so anything from now on will just be for s***s and giggles

Haha, you'd think XIII was the only one particpating in this one. Alakazam, Blastoise, Krookodile and Charizard making it is awesome, and Kyogre making the list is also great. Garchomp's good, as is Volcarona. Neutral on Bastiodon on the whole. I dislike Darmanitan, and hate Stunfisk. Ends up still being one of the better top tens we've had though (for me, anyway).

THAT'S HOW AWESOME IT WAS

Like we'd get some match that might have gone badly like THEMANITAN vs. Gliscor or whoever it was and I knew I could rely on ctes to pick the man, because ctes has magnificent opinions. And Genny does too, on the whole. So does Nick and MSG. It was very agreeable. I love those guys <3
