If Pikachu didn't exist, who do you think would be the best mascot for the franchise?

Ash was first planned to get a Clefairy as his starter, but the idea was scraped because they thought that it would only appeal to girls where as something that was NOT a pink fairy with no shadow would appeal to both genders.

Eevee. All the evolution choices are a cool way to represent the series. And it's gender neutral, unlike Clefairy and Jigglypuff who girls will usually like more compared to boys. That's the reason they chose Pikachu instead of Clefairy IIRC

I think they didn't give it an eevee because it would be weird if it never evolved since that's what eevee is about, and they couldn't possibly choose one eeveelution as the series mascot.

The pokemon's gender was irrelevant, they thought that it looked way too MLP/Rainbowbrite/Barbie-ish to be a good mascot for a gender neutral to boy oriented show.

Drowzee. It's just as cute and quirky looking (and yellow) as Pikachu! I think such a design would have appealed to both stereotypical boys and girls fairly equally, whilst also tapping into the then-nascent adult demographics.

PIKACHU made Pikachu popular. Clefairy would have starred in the anime but fan response to Pikachu was palpable, so they went with it instead.

I'd say the contrary. If Meowth wasn't associated with Team Rocket, he'd be a great candidate for a mascot. "The bad guy" as the mascot wouldn't really work; you wouldn't know whether to root for the protagonist or the mascot enemy.

And I'm also imagining an anime where Team Rocket has a Pikachu.
Fat Pikachu wouldn't really be intimidating though, and it would be hard to cause them to blast off with Meowth's attacks.
I do like the super special Meowth being Ash's starter though

I was going on the original premise that Pikachu doesn't exist, and replaced Team Rocket's Meowth with a Farfetch'd or Cubone. Maybe a Machop.
