>>40282499The base Pikachu line is solid all around. I'd probably like it a lot more if it wasn't constantly crammed in my face, but what can you do.
Plusle and Minun are pretty boring. Not inherently bad designs, but they don't do anything particularly unique aside from being focused on being in double battles, except why the fuck would you use two of the same type in a double battle unless both pokemon had coverage against their weaknesses, which they don't. I dunno, weird.
>PachirisuI don't remember a single fucking thing about Pachirisu. Looks fine, but gameplay wise it's like Plusle and Minun minus their pointless doubles gimmick.
>Emolga>Dedenne>TogedemaruI'm not crazy about Togedemaru's design, but that aside all of these are really solid Pikaclones that diverse themselves enough with different typings, decent movesets, and good abilities. Dedenne in particular is my favorite Pikaclone.
>Alolan RaichuThe fact that it's just "cuter raichu" and that the reasoning for its existence is that it eats pancakes irks me a lot. Gameplay-wise I'd rate it below Emolga/Dedenne/Togedemaru but above the literally-nothing pikaclones.
>MorpekoIt's a fucking pill. I could open up Maya and model the entire thing in one minute. We don't know how it'll be in game yet though, but the fact that its form gimmick only changes the typing of one attack, and that the form change just happens every turn instead of having specific activation conditions is lame as fuck.
