I don't know why everyone is dumping on Charizard.  People say his
price is outrageous and he is weak and hard to use in battle.  I'm guessing
they are the people who don't have a Charizard but wish they had one very
badly.  They are mad because they can't get there hands on one.  His health
is only matched by Chansey, but I'd like to see Chansey do 100 damage in one
turn.  Also with Charizard's Energy Burn Power don't think your wasting 2
good fire energies per turn.  You can build Charizard up with ANY energy.
So when you see someone saying Charizard is dumb and weak tell them to find
a better, more powerful Pokemon than the All-Mighty CHARIZARD+ACE-
