course i'm picking Charizard as he is my favorite pokemon out of all them, and because he is the best fire type that Ash has in the show. Choasmage you can deny it all you want, Charizard is the best, Cyndaquil did do great though in Jouto there was no mistake about it, heck it even braved icy water to beat a Dewgong which was definitely impressive but compared to how powerful Charizard is Cyndaquil's got nothing on him, but he is better than poor Torkoal who i'm still wondering why the writers even bother to give him to Ash in the first place, cause when you consider how rare it was used and even then it really only had a few important battles as well, i wish the writers would have emphasis on it more, but they didn't and the poor thing paid for it in spades.
