I hate all this stuff about how Charizard "Rocks" or "sucks".  I mean,
why do you have to talk Charizard?  Why not my favorite card, VENUSAUR!!!?
But still, Charizard does not suck or rock.

UPS:  120 HP                                                  Downs:  Stage 2
           100 damage attack                                              4
Energy cost
           Resistance to fighting
Discard 2
           Pokepower
3 Retreat

       Water Weakness

Those are the ups and downs.
People say:  Charizard sucks cuz it discards 2 and wastes energy.   100 hp
move?  Use Defender.  A Gastly could kill it.  A Blastoise could kill it.  3
Retreat is high.  Stage 2 is bad. Blah Blah blah.

So what?  Load it up from the bench.  Then run through your prizes.  The bad
part?  One word.  Raindance.  A Raindance deck will go through any fire deck.
People also brag about how they killed a Charizard with a Gastly.  A smart
player would just skip their attack and run the opponent out of energy.

Charizard, like all cards, has some disadvantages.  People name all the
disadvantages and finally conclude that Charizard sucks.  They say So What to
all the good points and only pay attention to the bad points.  I think
Charizard's OK.

Also, fire is actually a pretty good type. I think that there is no worst
type.  Every type is good in its own way.  Fire and fighting are fast damage.
  Fighting tends to be fast medium damage and fire tends to be fast high
damage discarding attacks.
Fire has good hp, too.  So fire decks need lots of energy.  Fire also usually
doesn't use all fire(exept Ninetales and Charizard) energy or it has a
colorless attack. Examples-Ponyta and Rapidash, Charmander and Charmeleon,
Arcanine, Flareon.
