>>14001217The list can go on. It's like, they missed out on so much when they made Pikachu the poser child of Pokemon. Ever since I was a kid I was disappointed that Pikachu was the Pokemon that everyone knew and loved and not something else. I found Pikachu bland, not very cute, and pathetic.
Here's what Pikachu brings to the table as a mascot:
>Design that stands out because yellow and red catch the eyes and it doesn't look like an actual animal>???>Cute?That's pretty much it. Honestly, can anyone else really think of anything better? From a marketing standpoint, having something bright and colorful makes sense, I guess, but that's the only thing I can really think of that it'd bring to the table. Eevee's evolutions fit that description as well, and it isn't as if Eevee isn't always showcased with its evolutions in official artwork anyway, so it'd be the same shit.
Clefairy brings even less to the table, aside from not being ugly as shit.
Yes, I mad. At least my mother's favorite Pokemon was Eevee. She knew what was up.
