Heya PoJo glad to see ya workin up a sweat! ^_^ Well, i've seen so many e-mails about Charizard and I hope you don't mind if i drop another one @ you. Thank you. I'm not sure what to really say about Charizard other than " i can't believe so many people make such a big deal out of it". IMO, i think the only reason everyone thinks Charizard's so great is that there's a commercial about him. He's really not that special, at least to me. yes, he has an attack that can wipe out almost any pokèmon, but i takes so long to charge up, it's seemingly useless. and the PP he has isn't really imprtant to me. I wouldn't reccomend using a Charizard and either Venosaur or Blastoise in one deck (it really leaves you stuck if a water/electric deck comes around) and it takes way too long to charge up both pokèmon (Charizard and Venosaur/Blastoise)anyhow. IMO Venosaur or Blastoise make better pokemon. Venosaur passes the energy anytime he wants to anyone as long as the energy is grass (great for grass/colorless decks and for that extra energy for that attack), and Blastoise pours the Energy out quickly (right when you need it: in the middle of the game), and they both have a pretty powerful attack. Just a reminder: pokèmon are fairly calculated in usefulness if they're the same stage (like gengar and vireplume or chansey and onix) but i see people who weigh Charizard w/chansey and such and they find themslves on the mercy of a Blastoise versus their Charizard. That's what has happened to some people and now they learn from their mistakes. Hoped you liked the article!
