Does anyone here actually legitimately LIKE Pikachu?

It doesn't get mentioned much, and when it does ,as far as I've seen, it's usually resentment over it being the mascot. What's wrong with that? Is it too overly cheerful? Too pushed in your face?

I for one think the little fucker is adorable and fairly useful with a Light Ball. Especially if it can surf.

It's cute but forced down our throats too much, especially when Raichu exists. Wish Raichu got more attention, to be honest I expect a retcon of Raichu to evolve from Dedenne starting from Gen VII.

Sometimes I use it for Kanto playthroughs, but its HP and Defense are a little low for my taste. The only thing I'm sick of when it comes to Pikachu is the people who don't know literally any other Pokemon.

I honestly don't like it very much. It absolutely flares my autism whenever I see someone say it's their favorite. I mean, how fucking generic can you be to have the mascot be your favorite?

When I was young I fucking loved Pikachu, probably because I watched the anime and Yellow was my first game. I had it in almost every team I raised, and in Emerald I even went through the effort of breeding a Volt Tackle Pikachu because I just had to have Pikachu's super special secret signature move. I always thought that people on the Internet who insulted Pikachu were just edgy kids trying to be cool by mocking the most popular Pokemon. Shit, even when I first started playing competitively on Netbattle, I used a Pikachu.

After I finished my "lol who plays Pokemon" phase and came back to the franchise, my love of Pika dissipated, and I like Raichu way more now. I just don't care for Pikachu's modern design. However, I'll always have a soft spot for Pikachu's classic design.

It's forever one of my favorites. Yellow was my first game. It's popular, so everyone will hate it for reasons. But it's cool, fairly useful, and looks super cool in the mangas and pokemon cards.

I'll never be able to honestly say that I like Pikachu. Not that it's an objectively bad pokemon - it's honestly a great design and a good 'mon to have in-game. But it's hard to fall in love with something that will never be special to you.

It's kinda hipstery, but it's the way I am.

I love Pikachu. It's not my favorite Pokemon, but it's adorable, and many of my memories of the Pokemon franchise are associated with it.

I respect other people's opinions, unless your opinion is any variation of "because it's popular" or "people like it."

Pikachu is a low tier cutemon who's outclassed in cute by every single on of its clones, its evolution AND its pre-evolution.

and every single one of its clones is better in battle too

Having actually used a Minun, a Plusle, and a Pikachu in-game at the same time, I can say that your statement is a proud exploration of the bullshit frontier.

And that was WITHOUT a light ball.

It's dull. Not particularly cute, not good crunchwise, just all around boring. Now consider it being the mascot despite all this and add the fact that they have to make AT LEAST one new imitation every fucking gen. Even worse, costumes for the little fucking thing while taking away the costumes for the trainer.

The voice actor can't do the voice properly anymore and is completely ear bleeding disgusting. It's annoying to see Pikachu in most media because of this. I really dislike that they replaced the cry with a really shitty sound sample in X/Y.

One of my best memories of Pokemon is when I traded my Pikachu in Yellow for an Ekans early on. Arbok dominated in that game and I didn't miss Pikachu one bit.
