Now I think that this Charizard debate has gone out of hand.  Now I hear some
people saying he sucks. WRONG!!!!!  The Charizard does not stink!  True he can
be knocked out by a few Pokemon, but ANY Pokemon card can be knocked out by 2
others!  Who gets to ko Charizard?  It is Poliwhirl and Blastoise.  Now for all
the cards he can ko in one turn;  ANY grass Pokemon,  ANY water Pokemon, ANY
electric Pokemon, ANY fightning Pokemon,ANY colorless besides Chansey, ANY fire
Pokemon besides himself.  Sure he might have a disadvantage to energy removal
but any good player has backup Pokemon.  He has the most HP of any Pokemon card
and the highest amount of absloute damage, with no strings attached.  Sure Mr.
Mime's Pokemon power makes him invincible to Charizard, but that's where the
backup comes in.  Now he is not the best card beacuse you can't compare every
card together.  He is one of the most useful.  DO NOT evolve into Charizard as
soon as you get him!!!  Unless you will lose if you don't evolve him stay
Charmander or Charmeleon until you have energies.  That's another great thing
about Charizard.  The underlings!  They both rock, beacuse they have low
retreat, high HP, good damage, and an all colorless energy attack!!!  So he
dosen't suck!
Sorry about the length of the article, but I needed to get that out.
