>>42729647The Kalos and Alola leagues definitely played a bit part in getting me to like Pikachu again, shit like lodging wood in Aegislash so it couldn't use Kings Shield was beautiful, but there's also just something about the design I came to admire, its simple but pleasant and I feel like I just got too blinded by contrarianism that I started to hate it because it was the mascot and shilled, and I decided it ain't healthy to be like that
