Pikachu is like computers. They used to be big bulky things, then they got smaller and sleaker and now fit in our pockets. so i like new chu better

Not really. Sure it's more cute, but it's supposed to be a really fast rodent, not a chubby one.

This. Originalchu is cute and has stubby arms and looks like a little squished ball. It is much cuter than the current Pikachu.. I still like new Pikachu, but I would prefer the older version.

Maybe it is because Pikachu is so well known. I think if you ask a random person who doesn't play Pokemon if they could name just one, they would say Pikachu. I think liking Pikachu is just a given thing?

Also, it doesn't make sense for the thing being fucking fast and fucking fast. So no, I don't like acrofattic Pikachu.

You'd think a series in which evolution plays an enormous role would make mention of this a little more often. At least within the fandom.

At some point he went from mouse to rabbit.
