To avoid another Raichu situation where the pre-evo eclipses the evolution in popularity

Togedemaru is almost on par with Raichu stat-wise anyway

evolution means they dont get any cuter. Raichu's an acquired taste because it existed, while Pichu was just a marketing gimmick

They managed to make Togedemaru decent at least. It's a huge step forward.

I actually think the Pikaclones are a hilarious and glaring example of GameFreak’s retardation

>wow Pikachu is so popular
>shit, we shouldn’t have evolved it
>well let’s make more and keep them cute this time
>oh wait literally nobody fucking cares

PEOPLE LIKE RAICHU TOO ASSHOLES!!!!!!!!! ITS NOT ALWAYS ALL ABOUT THE FUCKING ANIME!!!!!!

The Pikaclones are popular though

Not as much as Pikachu itself, mind you, but still pretty popular

The guy himself said that Pachirisu was shit and that he only used it because everyone was prepared for Amoonguss

there's just nothing all that interesting about the pikaclones

Give them evolutions, please. Something. Anything.

Well yeah, that's how you win competitions.

>>37952993
Giving them evolutions or pre-evolutions runs the risk of those forms eclipsing the base form in popularity. They exist solely to give people who collect Pikachu plushies a new flavor. Anything good gameplay-wise that comes from them is just a bonus.

That only gives yet another reason to want an evolution.
Imagine a Togedemaru with Eviolite.
It could be way more useful.

Well it's an explanation you'll have to take up with GameFreak, not me. They rake in billions of dollars from Pokemon every year, so whatever they're doing, it works.

never been sure about all the pikaclones, are they trying to catch lightning in a bottle agan with another super poppular design? or making cute electric rodents is a theme, like the 3 starters?

Not only that.

>Three good abilities to choose from
>Decent, for a pikaclone, offensive stats
>Super Fang, Fake Out, Nuzzle, Encore, Spiky Shield, U-Turn, Endeavor for support
>Physical electric STAB

It is usable, and that's great.

In an ideal world the clones wouldn't exist at all.
