Bugger if I know what the purpose of making Raichu part psychic was, though, other than it became more awesome than it was. That being said, the originals are not going anywhere, but I'm more interested in what they're going to do with this idea now that they have it. They have the potential for loads of variant forms, but something tells me they're going to can it just like they did the others, simply because it would take too much effort that they would rather put into new pokemon.
