Charizard, hmm, lets take a look shaln't we?
120 HP  thats always nice
Stage 2  thats not so good
Power: Energy Burn  Basically, Charizard is colorless
Attack Fire Spin  100 damage
Discard 2 Energy CARDS.
 
Charizard is your regular run of the mill powerhouse.  I went to pokemon league yesterday and only saw 2-3 of these decks played.  I played 2 of them and they were each close games(Charizard only appeared once for a short time in one game).  I had a fossil haunter out and the kid(only little kids play charizard...hmm)had a charizard with 2 double colorless energy.  We never finished that game because after he did Fire Spin he insisted that he only had to discard one DCE.
 
That is the point I am trying to get across.  You MUST discard the energy cards.  They can be 2 Fire, 2 DCE, or 1 Fire and 1 DCE.  It doesnt matter; but it has to be 2 cards.  If everyone will either learn this now, or stop playing charizard :P
