Charizards are kind of like Rhinoceri in the old Roman venationes. If one is engaged, and wants to fight there’s nothing that can beat one, but they tend to not be interested in fighting. They need to be provoked.

And since Mike appears to currently be off-line, I will go ahead and do this for him…

And the award for the sentence containing the combination of nouns least likely to appear together goes to:
Rufus T. Firefly!
(if Mike were doing this he’d insert a celebrating Alfalfa here)

Charizard could take out a normal Pikachu, easily, but they’ve established that Ash’s Pikachu is much more powerfull than normal. He’s up there with a Rychu.

Jigglypuff could probably make Charizard (or Psyduck) fall asleep, but does that count as a battle? Really?

Jigglypuff?! Are you for real?!?! Jigglypuff beat Charizard? Psyduck maybe, but Jigglypuff?

Oh, I think I get it now: The “WTF” does not in any way refer to confusion about the video, it’s just something you’re saying because it’s trendy. Got it.

The video was shot in one day on pretty much a nonexistent budget, and then they edited the hell out of it for a week or two. It was breifly banned in some markets for fear that it might cause epileptic siezures. I’m assuming none of you have ever heard the B-side from this single? It was a slow, mornful version of the same song that really emphasized the bridge: “On the edge of oblivion/and all the world is babylon/and all the love/and everyone/just a ship of fools/sailing on.” I quickly grew tired of the single, but I always really liked the B-side.

@ Eric: No way, man, Pikachu kicks ass! You’re just a grumpy old man.
