HI I'M POKEMON EXPERT ABHINAV!!!
and we are talking about charizard, one
of ash's strongest pokemon ever
and a big fan favorite, has weighed in,
in a number of big victories for ash
like his rival battle against gary and
his orange lake victory.
but it wasn't always like that. Charizard
didn't always obey ash
and we need to talk about that... let's go
back to where it (all) started,
ash along with brock saved charmander's
life.
when it was about to die, as its flame
was going to die out because of the rain,
it was abandoned by his trainer daniel
who thought it wasn't strong enough. they (Ash and Charmander) slowly became best pals.
cut to the time he fought of many
executor, ash was hypnotized
and forced to use charmander to help
melvin catch executors, charmander fought
at least 100 executors in that episode
and evolved into a charmeleon, cut to the
next time it was used to help paras
evolve in the episode
*the paris problem* that was the first
time
charmeleon disobeyed ash, shortly after
he evolved into a charizard to fight off
an aerodactyl
now it wasn't ever completely cleared in
the anime that
why did charizard disobey ash but i have
some theories which may bring some
clarity on the issue
#Theory 1    he leveled up too much
with respect to ash's trainer level.
we all know ash was immature and he
didn't have enough battle experience to
have a strong pokemon like charizard,
earlier in this video i mentioned that
charmander fought hundred plus executors
which must have given him a lot of
experience and pushed his level so high
that he stopped obeying ash
this has also been referenced in the
episode it first disobeyed ash
the old woman (grand mother of paras' trainer)  tells him that he is too
inexperienced (with respect to charmander's level)
but this theory even though very
plausible seems wrong to me
because ash won enough gym badges by
then to make a level 50 plus pokemon
obey him and it didn't obey ash even
in the indigo league when ash had won
all his eight badges
and also he had won a few
indigo league matches. now           
#Theory  2
this one is the best i guess, he was
jealous of pikachu
many people think that charizard was
jealous of pikachu,  it wanted to sit
on ash's shoulder and that is why it
disobeyed ash
to get it's (Ash's) attention
#Theory 3          he had abandonment issues
charmander was abandoned by his previous
trainer daniel because he didn't
consider charmander to be a strong pokemon
later he got rescued by ash, brock and
misty, and he got very very close to
ash, but maybe he
always had that abandonment in its mind
which prevented it from getting closer
to any trainer
maybe it was with ash for his own
protection
and as it evolved into a charmeleon it
thought it was strong enough to defend
itself
and didn't need a trainer anymore
he only battled the pokemon it thought
were worthy and strong enough
so that he could prove about its own
strength to himself
this theory seems much more plausible to
me as he started obeying ash
only when it got into another life
threatening situation in the episode
charizard chills
ash came through for him by saving its
life
and helping it recover that is when ash
truly gained its trust
and charizard decided to obey ash
but yes even this theory has some plot
holes as charmander seemed
quite close to ash and ash was always
ready to do anything for his pokemon
so in conclusion i think charizard just
wanted to sit on ash's shoulder
i hope this video would have answered
the question or given you at least some
viewpoint or clarity
on why charizard didn't obey ash. make
