Mega Evolution No. 2: Charizard X

it really grinds my gears that Charizard is so super-special that he gets TWO mega evolutions. not because I don't like Charizard, but because it throws off the whole "this is a balanced trio" aspect. Same reason I'm slightly miffed that he's the one in Smash 4, though another grass-type to go with him and Greninja would help that.

Oh boy, finally Charizard gets that Dragon sub-type! And is all DARK and COOL and BADASS just like my taste in music when I was 12!!

seriously, turning black is alright, and blue fire is kind of a neat idea, because blue flame is hotter than red, after all. But just constantly burning at the mouth? and those silly shoulder spikes? what's that junk all about, huh?

at least it's a noticeable difference, unlike Venusaur.


Overall: 5/10

    3. That and Pokemon seem to have a much more 'open' relationship with physics.

  2. Charizard is apparently most popular, so they gave him 2 forms to milk more money from elementary schoolers :(
