Why exactly does GF hate Raichu?
Light ball only works for pikachu, surfing pikachu, new cosplay forms for pikachu,
How long until mega pikachu is a thing?

Pikachu is the mascot so he gets a shit-ton of pandering. Raichu was created before Pikachu was established as a successful mascot. Marketing buffed Pikachu to all hell, leaving Rai in the dust.

Exactly! It's simply far overdue to get something, and since every other pokemon seems to be getting something, logic dictates it's gonna get something soon, too.

And besides... Mega Slowbro? Mega Audino? They'll give anything a mega, so I reckon Raichu's got a decent shot at getting one.

Also, on a side note, fuck dedene.

Nope, never been a Raichu trophy. Closest it gets is a mention on Pikachu's Melee trophy that's another nail in the coffin.

>It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

I don't like the idea of cross-gen evolutions except for branch evolutions because it gives enough time for someone to really get attached to a Pokemon but the evolution is usually drastically different and may not have much of what they liked about the original, while Megas tend to stick close to the original design and makes it clear it's the same Pokemon. Plus the one Mega limit and no hold item means there's more reasons to use the original than a pre-evo.

But, that's just how I feel.

They definitely do more than a lot of cross-gen evolutions. Pretty much all of them just say "this is [Pokemon]+" while most cross-gen evolutions are notably different, the most "different" I can think of being Scizor. The most different Megas I can think of are Charizard X or Mewtwo Y, but Charizard is still clearly Charizard and Mewtwo Y is the only one that really feels like a cross-gen evolution would.

But, that's just how I feel.

Personally, I'm not afraid of my favorite mons becoming radically different, if it means they become more useful, and as long as it keeps on track with the original concept of the pokemon. After all, the previous forms don't simply disappear, they still exist and can still be appreciated.

Like Doublade, for instance; I like Doublade's design much more than Aegislash, but I wouldn't stop using Aegislash because of it, I use both mons. So, to me, megas are just 1-per-team evolutions without items. It would simply be more useful if M-Audino could have leftovers, or if M-Manectric could have choice specs, etc.

But, that's just how I feel.

M-Manectric is amazing on many levels, for sure. But it's nowhere near the power of something like M-Kahn, M-Luc, M-Zard, M-Maw, etc. In Manectric's case, I just think it would have fit better as a normal evo. I feel the same about Audino.

Eh, I don't think it needs to be with the absolute best, it's fine as it is. Same with Raichu itself, actually. I've had good results using it, mostly with Encore Lightningrod shenanigans.

I think it's fine too, especially in doubles... It's just, the other megas are either REALLY powerful, which totally justifies having one mega per team, or they're pokemon like manectric whose stats just barely catch up to pseudo-legend pokes like dragonite etc. M-Manectric feels more like a normal pokemon to me.

Like, what's the point of having one mega slot per team and then making megas who have shit stats compared to the other megas, like M-Banette? All it does is hinder M-Banette's usage.

Really I think the solution to that is just not have the Mega boost always be +100 BST, since there are some Pokemon that just wouldn't work for. At least let more Pokemon min-max for a total of +100 like Garchomp does.

Except actual evolutions means Audino can use Eviolite. There are very few Megas that haven't taken over their base forms completely, and Megas tend to look worse than new evos.

I personally don't care what the fandom does OR what Gamefreak does. Rai is Pika's true grown form. Nothing will ever change that. I've already seen that the fans are only ones that truly respect it. I've already chosen to defy how the franchise is portrayed. Rai is where it's at. I refuse to believe nothing else.

P.S. While LightBall Rai haunts you dreams, I am having fantasy of it Shrekting OU:The Experience.

P.S.S If it makes you feel any better..at all there is one moment where Raichu has its hero moment in a old ass manga. Spoilers I guess?

If you wondering about the context, this is from an old ass Pokemon manga, named Pokemon Zensho. Apparently Satoshi [the Kanto hero guy's actual name] is going off the face the E4. Pikachu wants to help its trainer so it grabs the stone and becomes a Raichu.

It's only been released in Japan.
It's one of the rare, RARE examples where the hero's Pikachu evolves into Raichu.
[Even Vidya!Red is a borderline case, if you considered Red to completed the Pokedex once you fight him on Mt.Sliver. Still uses Pikachu over it.]

The details are unclear, but it was already popular when they were trying to decide what pokemon to use for the anime. Apparently, it had much wider appeal than their other choices. I kinda find it unfair that they had to pick on a poke that evolves considering what happened, but their other choices evolved, too, so there was no way to avoid this matter. There is a neat thing that >>20481568
makes me think about, though. The anime WAS only supposed to last for Kanto, but it's popularity made them make more eps. I would like to think that this is what they would've done if they were actually allowed to let the anime end the way it was supposed to.
