Fantastic but simple design. The mascot was always going to be shoved down everyone's throats, but Pikachu just pulls it off so well without being overly annoying, because it has a certain modesty and lovableness to it. A toughmon like Charizard as the mascot would have been gotten much more grating by now.
My only complaint is that it has such poor stats; they give it new toys every generation, which is a nice thought, but it's still not very usable. I'd love to body people with Catastropika, Gamefreak, but come on. Light Ball Thunderbolt hits about as hard and isn't a one turn thing. I wish it had gotten something like Eevee's Extreme Evoboost instead.
