I love how Pikachu won the final match against Leon but damn do I wish Charizard had a little arc where he makes up for the Indigo League by either beating Leons Charizard or at least pushed it to the point where we all know Pikachu won because or Charizards efforts to beat Leons.

As even a young kid, I can't tell you how upset I was at charizard refusing to fight getting ash disqualified. I was fuming. To this day all these years later I'm still fuming.

Charmelion was acting like your typical teenager

Charmander was my favorite character. After he evolved, the show didn't seem the same to me. Charmander had a heart of gold that was endearing, imo.

“Who needs a weak charizard anyway.”
Felt that line

The sad thing is the Charizard arc really made me drop the anime for a long time. It just felt that nothing Ash did ever mattered and the anime would always force him to lose to keep the series going. Other than the Orange Island league, which no one seems to really respect Ash wasn't allowed to win anything for a long long time.

Ash leaving Charizard was the only episode that made me cry more than Bye Bye, Butterfree

That charizard episode is crazy because ash cared for him since day 1 and literally begged him to at least try to get a win. As an adult that hits different

[glizzygobbler]

Team rocket truly the unsung heros of all of anime

[Mehk]

After everything Ash did for Charmander it was sad to see how much charmeleon/charizard disrespected him.

I remember watching that Charizard vs Magmar fight in 2000 with my friends, when i was 10. It was like one of the most important episodes we ever watched. It was like watching world cup finals. I will never forget it. We rushed straight from school back home with snacks and drinks just not to miss it...good times

[JustaGuy_Gaming]

A great theory is always the badges. Ash earned most of his badges on technicalities or gifts for helping beat team Rocket. Especially in the early seasons of Kanto. If you consider the badge mechanics in the game it's very likely Charizard didn't even consider half the badges Ash had as earned, making his respect even less. After all if it's about "proving your strength" how much strength is really proven when all you do is lose a match and then have Team rocket interrupt it and then blow them up?

I was aging out of Pokémon when Ash lost the the League because of Charizard's apathy. When the Ash lost, I was pretty much done. I was also annoyed that I watched this Charmander get brought in from abandonment only to grow up and repetitively bite that hand that feeds.

[Inaros]

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION HOW TEAM ROCKET STAYED UP ALL NIGHT TO MAKE SURE CHARIZARDS FIRE WAS NEVER PUT OUT!

[Asaylum]

It always annoys me that it literally took like 200 episodes for Ash's Charizard to not be an asshole anymore and respect Ash as a trainer. I personally feel like that's way too long for character development.

[ravenouself]

A reminder that no one, not even Oak himself, gave Ash any real advice. Can't really be angry at our boy.

[LostStonr]

Yoooo we need more of these at least for the first generation of Ash's Pokemon

[nobodynowhere]

when I was a kid, I wasn’t really watching that analytically and never really considered the possibility that charizards behavior was a trauma response. That adds a whole layer of depth

[SiikSkillz]

The throwback man...thank you for bringing back that piece of childhood
