i just joined here a few days ago and noticed that a lot of people don't like charizards. Personally, i think it's just a normal pokemon, nothing to love about, nothing to hate about.
so, please enlighten me

That's because Charizard has a n00b fanbase. It has good Speed, Special Attack, and Attack, and because of this, most people tend to use it a lot. And the n00bs PRAISE Charizard for the sole reason that it is a Flying (Dragon)/Fire Type Pokémon, often raising it to level 100 without even giving a pulseworth's of a damn about their other Pokémon.

And, come on! It can really get annoying when all you hear someone say about Pokémon is "0oh Char1Zrd iz teh R0x0rs!" or "Char1zaRd iz teh 1337!!!11!". It's annoying. In fact, it's the n00bs' fault that Charizard ended up becoming one of the world's most hated Pokémon.

But Charizard isn't a Dragon type....it's a flying type.

Get your facts straight.

And Charizard isn't THAT good anyway..yeah, the fanbase is noob.

Charizard is just overused and controversial because some think it should be a Fire/Dragon instead of Fire/Flying. Also it is the most popular Kanto evolved starter. The fact that the original Charizard was the most powerful card of the day and Charizard EX is in the top ten of all time, doesnt help much either. If it weren't for these facts it would probably only be as popular as Gayrados and not hated at all. ;025;

You forgot the fact that they deliberately and blatantly tried to make Charizard "cool" and thus totally failed. But mostly what he said though.

Oh, check out the GS intro too - you see the starters for a second, and then a "big, mighty" Charizard flamethrowers it all, in typical overrated style.

For me, most of the pokemon that get too popular, lose their interesting side. I never liked Charizard, because it looked like the stereotypical "cool Pokemon"(a fire spitting dragon...the typical popular thing, isnt it?).
It's the similar thing with Metagross, IMO; everyone(especially in Netbattle) uses it, because of it's legendary like stats and his good type combination. I mean, cmon where's the challenge?

Well, people joygasm over dragons.

It's damn overrated and worshipped by n00bs, and it's the rival to my beloved Typhlosion. It's n00b fodder, basically.

That's why I pity Kingdra so much for putting up with that... he rocks as well (ish). Oh, and Lance in GSC with all his overrated Dragons also gained Charizard... nothing more than EXP (go Magneton, or Machamp, or Typhlosion!).

I'd say Altaria was lucky enough to avoid the n00bs when it came into existence.

I think 'Zard's overrated because of Ash's in the anime, alwys disobeying him, being all tough, when it's not that good. Nevertheless, it was cool as Charmeleon though.

Oh, Charmeleon and Gyarados are actually cool, and so's Kingdra (call me a n00b overrating Kingdra, but I know he's only OK in battle rather than amazing).

What he said. And does it really matter too much? Its not like everyone on here has a Charizard. Thats when I'll think its overused.

shove it up ya bum!
People were obsessed with it when Pokemon first came out. I think that's why alot of people hate it, because it has such a large fanbase and because it's so overused. I've never been in love with it but I don't hate it. I sure would like a black one.

Look at 'zard, he's got a crappy design - he's a butterball with giraffe horns, horribly clashing wing membranes, and the worst color ever - tomato red! I HATE tomato red! And his shiny is just more marketing (we ALL know how much folks LOVE black dragons)

There probably are a lot of reasons why charizards are hated so much. Me. I never bothered training one coz i dont consider it worthy. My charizards are always at Lv 36. The same goes for blastoise and venusaur. I just dump 'em and train them only after i have other pkmn above Lv 70 or 80. To me they are just worth collecting especially in Poke Yellow.But you dont have to agree with me at all. For example my favorite pokemon in RBGY, GSC happens to be Gyarados. And I am sure not many of you like Gyarados bcoz of its double weakness to electricity.

Except it's not just someone, it's a whole slew of people.

Yeah, Charizard is really hated here. Wanna know whose fault that is(primarily)? Team Rocket Admin. He still comes here and every now and then(never missing an opportunity to laugh at me....If he only knew how many people laughed at him ¬_¬), but his most active times were in July. He was a gargantuan nube. According to him, all Starters without the word Char in their names sucked so bad that you couldn't use them without being laughed at(ironic, eh?). Truthfully, I did meet one of my best friends while fighting against him, but that was a very annoying time nonetheless. Eventually, he kinda just collapsed and didn't come back.

There's also the fact that Threads revolving around Charizard pop up eveyr few weeks or so. There were TWO a few weeks ago, even.

I think it's pretty strange that people don't like Charizard just because the majority of people who do like Charizard are noobs. Give Charizard a chance and instead of hating it, hate the annoying people instead. Charizard didn't make the noobs did it?

No, the noobs made Charizard! >:D

Well, Charizard must be the sole starter pokemon I never picked. I usually get my friend to trade me a Staryu as my starter.

Why does it even matter? People have the right to like what you want, even if they are totally obsessed with a certain pokemon you can't hate them for liking a certain pokemon. In fact, the amount of charizard haters here is like 3x the amount of charizard likers here.
