After everything Ash did for Charmander it was sad to see how much charmeleon/charizard disrespected him.

[@Sovereign-kh4ng]

I don't think it was that. If you've never been abused, you cannot understand. If you have suffered that, you don't trust anyone because you don't want to be hurt again, so you push away people that genuinely want to help or care for you, its a vicious circle that some people who have suffered this, sometimes cannot break out of.

The sad thing is the Charizard arc really made me drop the anime for a long time. It just felt that nothing Ash did ever mattered and the anime would always force him to lose to keep the series going. Other than the Orange Island league, which no one seems to really respect Ash wasn't allowed to win anything for a long long time.

Yeah, same. I eventually went back but the Charizard thing was hard to get through.

[@youngf.l.y.1467]

Because ash is stupid lmao like alotta things are sheer luck and plot armor

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

@@redredpanda_2 You have to also remember the theme of the first or so season. It was about becoming a Pokemon master, and the whole theme song was about "Gotta Catch them All". Yet not only does Ash barely catch anything he seemed to constantly let go of his strongest pokemon be it Charizard, Butterfree, Squirtle etc. Add to that Ash basically losing every match it got a bit annoying. But as you say I eventually picked it up again. Watched Johto and such. Sort of dropped off again after they got Iris though, can't remember what season that was.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

@@youngf.l.y.1467 One the biggest issues was Ash was the "protagonist". Every time something needed to be explained for people who never played the games (or even watched another episode of the series) Ash had to be the idiot to ask the question. This made him seem really stupid as basic facts he learned in a previous episode never really carried over to the next.

[@infiniterer287]

Yup, I remember the same. I've never seen a cartoon fight have that same impact ever since.

[@JustaGuy_Gaming]

A great theory is always the badges. Ash earned most of his badges on technicalities or gifts for helping beat team Rocket. Especially in the early seasons of Kanto. If you consider the badge mechanics in the game it's very likely Charizard didn't even consider half the badges Ash had as earned, making his respect even less. After all if it's about "proving your strength" how much strength is really proven when all you do is lose a match and then have Team rocket interrupt it and then blow them up?

The thing is, the badges being needed for the player to control their Pokémon is only in the games so to prevent newcomers from being able to steamroll the game by getting their friends to trade them high-level Pokémon. Not to mention, there seems to be no evidence that the anime adapts such a mechanic.

[@neltins5308]

LOL Ash's Charizard was one of the strongest characters in all of the Pokemon series.

[@thecreativemillenial]

i think charmander always had doubts ever since he was abandoned, which was triggered after it evolved into Charmeleon and then, as egotistical Charizard. After it got hit by Poliwrath's Ice Beam attack and Ash worked really hard to revive it, it realized Ash genuinely cared about him and became 100% obedient and understood Ash was not abandoning it when he left it at the Valley. at it came back even stronger than before

[@tomasdqwx2781]

He was at that time inexperienced trainer and he got a lot of badges because of plot armor. Later in pokemon journeys he attracts pokemon that would previously make fun of him or refuse to listen to him like dragonite or gengar. It probably the reason why bulbasaur and squirtle never fully evolved. Cause they wouldn t listen to him too. Even in black and white he didn t have fully evolved team. First region with fully evolved team was kalos. That when ash became experienced trainer and made big progress.

[@Gilbert_Dice_Gottfried]

If charizard didn’t disobey ash in the indigo league, ash might’ve actually won. At the very least, ash would’ve gone so much farther in the league than he did. I don’t really understand how the pokemon league actually works in the anime. If somebody wins the league tournament, do they fight the elite four and the champion? If so, I don’t know if ash could’ve won had charizard been obedient to him because the elite four and lance feel like an end goal for ash. I’m kinda bummed we never got to see ash fight against the elite four back then, the way we do in the video games. Instead in the anime the Pokémon league is like a tournament, it’s confusing. A good way that ash could’ve dealt with charizard/charmeleon being disobedient was if ash had used his other pokemon. That’s another thing I thought was weird about the anime. Ash ended up winning all these badges while having many first stage pokemon. His squirtle and bulbasaur never even evolved. His squirtle and bulbasaur were very strong despite never evolving. I wish that they got as much focus as charizard did, especially because he obtained all three of them around the same time. They could’ve at least became a wartortle and ivysaur at some point and he could’ve relied on them a little more. The anime did that with other trainers too. Many of them were competing in the Pokémon league despite not having fully evolved Pokémon. Ritchie is a good example of this because his team was very weak but there was also that girl that fought ash in the Pokémon league that had a bellsprout on her team. How are we supposed to take the Pokémon league seriously when her ACE was a bellsprout and it was fighting against ash’s muk? I mean, were we supposed to believe that was an even matchup? I think the anime focused on charizard so much because of how popular charizard became and they wanted charizard to be the starter pokemon associated with ash. I think a lot of the popularity charizard got came from his portrayal in the anime. The anime gave him personality and characterization that weren’t given nearly as much to the other Pokémon ash had. I loved the indigo league anime but it didn’t feel like it had much of a plot and it was very episodic. A lot of the focus should’ve been on ash fighting the elite four and building them up as characters/trainers. I wished it was more true to how things worked in the video games. I think it was because they wanted the anime to go on for as long as they could but it made it feel like it was full of filler.

[@natalimoina]

Evolution does not inherently mean gaining power, that's only a game thing. Also, there isn't actually filler in pokemon. The whole of the journey is very important to Ash and everyone and the story.

[@ohmeohmicah]

Technically most if not all of the anime is filler, with the non-filler parts being when a player-insert character from the games (For example May) fights a gym leader

[@Reialine]

Funny enough i knew Ash wouldnt make it to the elite four for the whole fact Gary was eliminated earlier. Meaning they didn't plan for that to happen given the rival is always a step ahead in the games to build up for the final fight of first gen games. I thought the anime would end with Ash winning the league and his final opponent would be Gary, just like the game making me believe the game spoiled me the ending and i was hyped to see it happen on the show, where Ash would finally prove he's better than him but once that premise popped up I guessed they planned to make him lose in one of the brackets. Also in the version i played which we all at school bought after the anime one of the names you could pick was Ash and Gary for the rival, so we never realized that Red and Green around our friend's group actually were different people. Where Red was a completely skilled and talented natural at being a trainer unlike Ash and that Green despite having an ego flaunting issue was still kinda more respectful on Red at the end and not a full on jerk like gary.

[@vulcanraven9701]

Ash wasn't a great trainer. The Pokemon with more "unpredictable" tendencies like Charizard(dragon), Primeape (Monkey) and Haunter (ghost) he failed to tame. He also didn't evolve most his pokemon like you mentioned, and often did not switch pokemon if there was a clear type disadvantage.

Is what I recently thought about when Charmeleon evolved into Charizard is the fact that he didn’t evolve because he had just finally reached the level of strength that he would automatically evolve. He evolved out of sheer will. He evolved just because he felt like it. And he hadn’t battled much as charmeleon. He was very lazy in fact. But then all of a sudden he just reached his final evolution because he simply could. That tells me that he must have been incredibly strong as Charmander basically already so strong to become a Charizard before he even was a Charmeleon.

[@damekh7425]

Charizard truly was able to overcome his emotional abuse and became so incredibly strong, one of my favourite memories from Pokemon.

[@ExaltedTilemaker]

To be fair, Ash telling Charmeleon to go easy on Paras was not cool. Charmeleon take pride in their strength and battle prowess, so trying to get one to lose on purpose is every bit as degrading to a Charmeleon as being dressed up would be to a cat. If Ash wanted Charmeleon to respect him as a trainer, Ash first needed to respect Charmeleon's dignity.

This would make sense if it was actually like the games. Think about your assumption. Charmeleon started disobeying Ash because of the badge count, right? Well tell me, why did Charizard continue to disobey Ash in the pokemon league? Everyone knows you have to have all eight to compete there. Charizard was simply on a power trip. That's all. He was similar to how females act. You meet a chick who has nothing, with potential. She's "loyal" in the beginning. But as soon as she starts leveling up, they switch up. Each time they level up, they feel they are to good, for the one who built them up. She leaves you. The world and new guys humble her and she can't admit she was wrong. When you start to buil her up again, she realizes, she mest up. Charizard thought he was tough shit and was humbled by Poliwrath. Ash showed he was loyal and Charizard realized he screwed up and changed.

Low key charizard deserved that first trainer. He wouldve listened to him which is insane.

Hell yea bro ty this video was lit🔥

[@sela562jig]

That magmar episode will always be my favorite. I completely forgot how bad Charizard was. This video took me back in time 😢...

The very first thing I would have done if Charmeleon had tried pulling that shit with me would have been to humble him in a duel with Pikachu or Squirtle. If he thinks he's too good, the only remedy is a big heaping dose of Humble Pie, which is exactly what Charizard got with that Poliwrath, and sure enough, that's when he stopped being an asshole.

i remember watching pokemon and being mad at charizard for not listening to ash now i know why

[@TaoT-T]

As a kid watching Charizard not fight a pokemon because it was "weak" pissed me off. Like didn't we just watch some goofy ahh peashooter from Wish be hella good?? Bro starts biting the hand that feeds him and for what?

[@RayzTvT]

When he abandoned Pidgeot, Charizard, I felt it. Though charizard isn't in my top 10. I like em

The Charisific Valley was basically a way to give Ash an actual challenge against normal trainers. As long as he had Charizard, there was almost no actual danger of Ash losing. Which is a problem when you're trying to establish stakes for a series. Thus, Charizard had to go, and this Valley of BS was created. I still *refuse* to believe Ash's Charizard was considered "weak". That episode existed to force Ash to change up his team. It's been 20 years and I'm still bitter about it.
