Okay, so hold up.
Why the fuck does this shit exist?
Like, according to the professor in the series, the bond phenomenon is responsible for creating this. The bond phenomenon occurs rarely when trust between trainer and pokemon is high.
SO IT CLEARLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PIKACHU.
Pikachu is the one on his team that has been together with him all this time. Pikachu is the one who's experience all of victories and shortcomings. Pikachu is the one who truly understands and has grown to trust him.
Furthermore, Pikachu is the only not-fully evolved pokemon on the team, it's the one who's most in need of some sort of power-up.
It's ridiculous that they went with Greninja and not Pikachu.
