Hiya, Pojo! It's Daniel and Kosta again (You might remember us from such emails
as youknowwhat Pokemon and Not So youknowwhat Pokemon)
Anyway, this is clearly different. This is a straight Pokemon thing.
ANyway, we beleive that Zapdos is ALLOT better than Charizard. And now we shall
show you why.
1. HP Zapdos has 90 HP, CHarizard has 120. Winner: CHarizard
2. Attacks: Zapdos has two, a) Thunder (3 Electric, one colourless) 60 Damage,
flip a coin, if tails, Zapdos does 30 Damage to itself, and b) Thunder Bolt (4
Electric) 100 Damage, remove all energy cards attached to Zapdos in order to do
this attack.
CHarizard has one, the infamous FireSpin (Everyone knows what that does!) which
deals 100 Damage after discarding two energy cards.
Winner: Zapdo, now, you might think we're crazy, but listen closely. Charizard
has 4 energy cards on him. Zapdos has 4.Now, CHarizard has a Poliwag  as an
enemy with 10 HP left. Great. So CHarizard HAS to use Fire SPin, discarding 2
Energy cards. He can't recover until two turns after, and in that time, 120
Damage could EASILY be dealt (Venusaur, Blastoise, Zapdos (hehe), CLefairy,
Clefable, Dragonair (Coin flipping for Dragonair, though) Poliwhirl (Coin
flipping, but all Poliwhirl needs is two heads out of four coin flips in two
turns...easy) and there's a bunch of others I just can't quite remember right
now. And, oh yeah, Vaporean.

However, if Zapdos was in the same Situation, it would use Thunder. 60. Damage,
flip a coin, if tails, Zapdos does 30 Damage to itself. Thats a 50% Chance of a
bad thing happening to Zapdos, while CHarizard's is most certainly, and also,
Zapdos didn't have to waste two energy on a crappy little Poliwhirl with 10 HP
left.
So once again, Zapdos has better attacks than Charizard.

3. Weakness and Resistance, and Retreat costs.
Charizard has a resistance to fighting, and a weakness to water, and a three
retreat cost. Zapdos has a Resistance to fighting, NO WEAKNESS, and a three
retreat cost. Winner: ZAPDOS!!

Now, count up the scores. Charizard: 1 Zapdos: 2!!!
ZAPDOS WINS!! CHARIZARD LOSES!!
Now, I used to be a Charizard lover, but now....hehehe, go Zapdos!
Also, Neither of those two Pokemon are the best in the game. Or in the top ten.
Okay? Unnerstand? SO I'm not crazy about Zapdos.
