As matrix said, he's always been popular, but you can't deny the timing of it seems rather convenient.

I'll concede that Charizard's reappearance is just to sell the D-Arts if the other two Kanto starters re-appear, as well.
Until then, though, I still stand by coincidental timing.
These episodes are made well in advance, so I'm unsure to call it a tie-in.

Mewtwo, definitely, since movies are handled differently, but not Charizard.
