Hi pojo I call myself Artitwo on teh internet and I'm keeping my real name
secret and I'm not sure where you should put this but I have one objection to
the view of Chris Van on 1/14/00
Charmeleon is not the best stage one there is Arcanine is I've beaten
Gyaradoses with Arcanine I've beaten a whole bunch of junk with Charmeleon OK
hte reason I beat teh second Gyarados wasd because I felt lik elegnthening
the game when I could have easily won by beating a Staryu with my Magmar but
attached the fire energy in my hand to Arcanine instead
