there has literally never been an in game pikachu given as a gift pokemon bar the one in pokemon yellow.

Gamefreak has been pushing lucario in almost every game since inception.

DPPt: Gifted lucario egg, both champion and a gym leader use the stupid mutt.
B/W2: Riolu is the only fighting type available before the normal gym.
X/Y: King of lucario pushing. Has easily accessible riolu before a gym it is super effective on, is the first pokemon you mega evolve and teaches you the mechanic. Is given to you straight up as is. There is a giant fucking statue of the cunt.

Pikachu doesn't have a giant in game statue.

Also the anime is shit :^)

The game has a good mascot and people react well to it.

Lucario is literally the biggest furfag piece of shit with no clear design.
>It is a blue anubis
>With random fur tuffs
>Random spikes
>Unexplained dreadlocks that don't fit the Anubis theme
>Steel type for not other fucking reason then to make it stronger on purpose because they loved it so much.

It is just the worst concept in pokemon, and I will never stop hating it.

But despite being a fucking mouse compared to what's basically a furry human, Pikachu actually has more personality than any Lucario shown in the anime.
Pikachu clearly has opinions of different people and Pokemon, is willing to stretch to keep peace and help his friends, but has a breaking point and is quite temperamental.
Lucario is just a cool-looking Pokémon that punches stuff and is entirely concentrated on become strong and beating the bad guy.

Exactly. Pikachu has character to it. Its the big dog, having been the mascot since the beginning, and it gets a pass for that.

Lucario is just edgedoge with a bipedal stance for furries that Gamefreak DECIDED was to become a mascot.

THANK YOU. I think a lot of people are sick of seeing Pikachu everywhere, though it was actually a lot worse during Gen V.

To be honest, Pikachu isn't bad, and I'm glad that it doesn't get as much praise and adoration from fanboys as Game Freak was hoping. Keep in mind that it got 48th place in that IGN poll and was voted the 23rd best Kanto Pokémon on Dorkly.

Also, if fanboys loved Pikachu too, you'd be hating on him just as much as Lucario. I bet the only reasons why you're so kind to Pikachu are due to:

>Pikachu being somewhat of a "hipster"/"anti-fanboy" choice due to his lack of popularity with Charizardfags/Mewtwofags/Lucariofags/Greninjafags

Pic related is my favorite character in the anime, period, yet he got screwed over by poor English dubbing/adaptation and being replaced in last year's movie.

The original voice of Mewtwo is godly, that man fit the role to a T for Mewtwo. What they did to the recent Newtwo is just an abomination. Turning my Newtwo into a Female with a horrible voice.

The first Mewtwo dubbing is better than the shit Japanese, and he's got a powerful presence plus you knew to respect that motherfucker.

Long hail the Original Mewtwo, Dubbing and all.

I can understand the appeal for 12 year old boys. I would have loved it at that age, but it doesn't appeal to me anymore.

In fact, I wrote this on TV Tropes:
>Series Mascot Pikachu's reputation as an annoying Spotlight-Stealing Squad with Wolverine Publicity got a lot worse during Gen V, possibly more than any other generation. Pikachu only had a cameo in Black and White, and it wasn't obtainable normally in the games, let alone in the regional Dex. However, the franchise outside of the games didn't reduce Pikachu's prominence one bit, making its appearances alongside all the new Unova Pokémon more jarring and asserting the anime's Adaptation Displacement over the games (with the anime's Periphery Hatedom beginning to form at the time). Pokémon X and Y fixed this from both ends, both by making Pikachu an early-game mon and by slightly downplaying its marketing outside of the anime.

The only true atrocity is to Raichu, which everyone apparently wants to pretend doesn't exist. I've already chosen to ignore Gamefreak's apparent lack of a desire to even remotely make sense. I like Pokemon, and I like all the new pokemon and all the additions to evo lines they make, but the way they make this work no longer stands to me. I hate romhacks, but I fully support all efforts to have Pokemon make better sense. We aren't going to get it from them. We have to do it.

I tend to blame this shit on Ash too though.

Pikachu was battling a Fletchling, and what does Ash repeatedly command him to do?

Iron Tail. Even after Feather dance (which it can't learn but the anime said fuck you I guess) he kept being told to use iron tail. Fucking why Ash?

Fact: 2 out of 3 Charizard are still fucking Flying types.

The other one is just friends with them.

itt apparently Pokemon can't have more than one mascot

Several years ago Pikachu was the mon to hate because of the ashnime + it being so relevant in the merchandise. Now people are cool with Pikachu and shit on Lucario instead since it's currently more relevant. Really OP people just wanna shit on what's the most popular because it makes them feel like snowflakes.

inb4furfag, I don't care for Lucario though I do hate his mega. I just call it like I see it.
