>it's Dragon-type but uses Zekrom's edgy and completely different colors for no good reason, has "meh" base stats, and needs to set up to sweep
>it has 159 Sp. Atk, is a weather setter, hits like a nuke right off the bat, but isn't Dragon-type
Just... why did they force us to choose? Why couldn't we just get a single Mega Charizard (what we know as Y) and have it as Fire/Dragon?
Are you implying Mega Charizard X isn't the most popular and that GF wouldn't ditch Y if they could only make one?

Because X is much better designed than Y, obviously.
This thread is proof that people will always find something to complain about.
>>32256976
Because they both fill out different roles. Y is for special nuking right off the bat and X is the viable physical Charizard a lot of people wanted.
>>32256985
X is popular because it's Dragon-type (and because, at the time, its color scheme let it ride off Zekrom's popularity). Making both Dragon-type would make it more even.
I personally prefer X BECAUSE it's Dragon-type, but Y is more impressive overall and both really should have gotten it. As it is, Y feels even more invalidated as a dragon than base Charizard even though it most likely is supposed to be one.
>>32256976
When are we going to stop pretending that Y isnt the natural charizard progression?
When do we realize that if X wasnt dragon type it would be shitted on constantly?

It's definitely the natural progression in terms of design and stats. But for it to be a fully natural progression, it'd have to be Fire/Dragon because Charizard was clearly based on one. Fire/Flying MCY seemed to be merely for the sake of a cheap bait-and-switch marketing tactic to disappoint fans so they'd be more hyped for its super duper special edgy dragon counterpart.
As it is, MCX's typing makes it feel like MCY went "fuck it" and discarded the whole dragon theme to become an ambiguous flying reptilian kaiju (Rodan?), even if that wasn't the intention.

Your type is the minority, anon. I like X because it looks cool. Much, much cooler than Zekrom ever did. That's the reason most care about it too.
Yeah, but X is the Champion's choice, so get fucked.

Zekrom is the best dragon in the series though, so not sure why you're complaining.
