Don't worry Mimikyu, you're more viable anyway.

At least he has an excuse to be shoved into everything. I mean, it IS the mascot of Pokemon.

I gotta say though, Pikachu is pretty good as a mascot.

It's better than Raichu. Game Freak was right to leave Raichu behind.

It's cute, I wish it got a speed buff so I could actually use it as a glass cannon in comp. It was also the ace of my SM playthrough team.

It's the best mascot for the franchise and evolves into a cool pokemon. Win win. The only things I hate about it is the round headed version use as a logo and the fucking cry in the modern games. That makes no fucking sense.

Like all Gen 1 mons, they need to have approximately 20 points added to every stat to remain competitive with current mons. The old mons are so damn shitty its not even funny.

Fantastic but simple design. The mascot was always going to be shoved down everyone's throats, but Pikachu just pulls it off so well without being overly annoying, because it has a certain modesty and lovableness to it. A toughmon like Charizard as the mascot would have been gotten much more grating by now.

My only complaint is that it has such poor stats; they give it new toys every generation, which is a nice thought, but it's still not very usable. I'd love to body people with Catastropika, Gamefreak, but come on. Light Ball Thunderbolt hits about as hard and isn't a one turn thing. I wish it had gotten something like Eevee's Extreme Evoboost instead.

As Riachu is close enough to my real life name ive always liked pikachu for being able to turn into it.

Also as far as mascots go its pretty good. Simple, Memorable, merchandisable, recognizeable by a large portion of the world on sight.

Can't really judge.

It's hard to describe, but to me Pikachu isn't even a Pokemon anymore. It's like some sort of faceless cosmic force. A meme.
Hearing it say "PIkachu!" in the games since XY has only hammered this in even more. Whatever it is, it shouldn't be mentioned among the others. No this does not imply disrespect. It's simply not fair to the others.

One thing I WILL judge is how shitty it is that Pikachu gets things at the expense of others, and how tacked on it can seem.
WHY is Volt Tackle exclusive to that line when it's Electric's Double Edge, Flare Blitz, Brave Bird, etc equivalent?
WHY does a fucking cosplaying Pikachu get Icicle Crash before actual Ice types?
WHY do we get stupid pika clones every generation?

I just realized she probably gets paid the same amount as all the other designers despite designing one of the most iconic characters of all time who is probably worth billions as a mascot. Really, a lot of her designs are the more popular ones. Business as usual, but still.

Cute and a good mascot, but i wish they would stop adding random fucking gimmick versions that aren't region variants to it
It's fucking stupid that we're getting ash-pikachu as another fucking gimmick that is mostly guaranteed nontransferable, like why the fuck even bother? plus the fact they wasted a fucking slot for a real fighter in pokken just for fucking pikachu libre gives me many levels of brain cancer one thought only possible here
Like fuck man, either make the fucking gimmicks transferable or don't make them at all

As a long time fan, I might've been conditioned to love it. I whole-heartedly enjoy.
Hell... I have one ultra-autistic thing about em.
My dad got me into Pokemon; my copies of R/B/Y and Silver were all his and I played on his files. Ruby and Sapphire I mostly played and he did grinding for my team while I was asleep or at school while he was off or staying up late. Fire Red was the first game I beat myself, properly. Migrated that Lv100 team up to Diamond... only to lose it a few days later. The only thing I had left to tie to this game, my first solo experience, was a child of my Raichu from that game was sitting in Platinum. That Pichu ended up being my Raichu through Heart Gold and, since, I've used a member of that "Bloodline" in a team in every region so far. Waiting for PokeBank to breed the future Psychu on my third run.
