>>44805416>Could he have been the face of the franchise had things gone differently?Yes, he very would could have been. Maybe mid-season of the anime he would evolve or something.
>Is his design as marketable as Pikachu'sNo, while Raichu is both cute & cool. It leans too much on the cool spectrum. Less girls would have been in the franchise. Also it's orange while yellow is a more marketable color.
