Aside from being the best of the three starters in first generation (Blastoise can go to hell), Charizard was among the most saught after trading cards, and even in the show was among Ash's most powerful pokemon (if not the most powerful to my knowledge) once he finally started to listen to him (and was also a ruthless badass in that manga, almost kiling another Charizard), on at least two or three occasions beating pokemon that had an elemental advantage over him. I can name at least three friends of mine who still indulge within pokemon solely for Charizard.
An earthquake from Blastoise will **** Charizard up.
