How does it feel to know we could have gotten this (Gorochu) as a third evolution to Pikachu and instead all we got was a useless baby pre-evolution that nobody gives a shit about?

Fuck you Pichu is my nigga. If anything, Gorochu should be introduced as a regional evo and Raichu slowly phased out. Alolan Raichu is cooler anyway. Based Electric/Paychic pancake devourer.

I really hate Gorochu. All the spikes and shit just detract from an otherwise perfectly sleek and clean design. I especially dislike how the ears just sort of blend in with the rest of the spikes. Raichu is already the perfect final evolution.

Gorochu was erased long before Pichu was even concept art. Its not an either or thing, if anything the reason Gorochu doesn't exist is because it would be stronger than CHARIZARD

I would much rather Pikachu evolve into Gorochu as a branch evolution.

Even if that were true they would never give Pikachu one. Having Piachu evlve further would just make Pikachu seem incomplete and babyish in comparison. They already regret making Raichu.

Anon gets it. The problem was that breeding should have worked differently. Like breeding a baby mon allowing you to evolve it to another branch evolution or ensuring good stats.

You should have been able to catch them before the Kanto evo. Only a few games really did this well, like DP and SM and even then it was a limited few.

He could stand to be more heroic atleast, I find is odd that evolution is a key feature yet the main mascot's is underwhelming and so averse to marketing, concept and anime plot they do everything in their power to make Pikachu outshine and even outclass it.
>THE STAR POKEMON SHOULDN'T EVOLVE OR EVEN GET A SPECIAL BULLSHIT TEMPORY BATTLE EVOLUTION
Stupid dumbass was even the perfect time to give Eevee a special normal evo too.
But everything about pokemon refuses to evolve and grow.

that seems kind of backwards though, if the only incentive to Breed is baby Pokemon then its kind of pointless

I don't have that list of pokmeon the sell the most merch that been spreading around but iirc the only baby Pokemon on it was Togepi, no one give a shit about the others, at best they are ignored and at worst they are actively hated.

>>54233625
maybe regret is a strong word, but there was a SM dex entry that basically said Raichu is rare becase no one wants to evolve it.

No an oldfag realist. Raichu got binned by the fanbase because no-one gave a monkey's for it and Tajoiri trashed goro for being too OP so early. Maybe if Pikaschu hadn't taken off like a rocket sled on rails, goro woyuld have gotten added. but Pika's popularity meant they were going to fill out the family aping its popularity, not trying to force a meme by gicving the also0-ran a boost.
Sorry the opinions of those who lived through pokémania trigger you, but there is a reason why Game Freak didn't miss gorochu ultimately.

I think nobody prefers Raichu to Pikachu, it just feels like an alternative Evo, and they ruined their chances to make Raichu relevant by making his Alolan form uglier and faggier.

Locking certain species behind a new game mechanic has always been a thing in Pokémon. Gen 2 introduced rare spawns, Rock Smash, tree spawns, and breeding. Gen 4 had honey trees and Grand Underground for Spiritomb and fossils.
Pichu and Munchlax were everywhere in marketing in Gens 2 and 4. And there was an active push for Mime Jr., Bonsly, and Wynaut as well. Gen 5 had phenomenon such as rustling grass and dust clouds. Gen 7 had SOS encounters.
What better way to introduce a new mechanic (breeding) than to design pre evolved babies of wild or gift Pokémon?

They had to create a whole new form just to give a pokemon a fourth ability, the way the game is structured it's probably too much for them to add one

That thing looks so fucking evil, no wonder why they scrapped it that thing will scare the heck out of children while also proving the Super Religious Folks right about Pokémon being the spawn of Satan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcmIMFbR4BM

Also,it takes far away from the Pikachu/Raichu designs, and they'll have to give every Pokémon a 4th evolution which will make Pokémon with only 1 evolution considered completely obsolete.

They really didn't have to. They could've made Gorochu only have a BST of 540 or 550 or something. Something that always bugged me is that Pikachu was clearly intended to be something like a 4th starter with the stats it has. I think Raichu would've been a bit weaker if they didn't scrap Gorochu, have a BST around the same as the second stage of the starters, then Gorochu would've probably been just a bit stronger than the starters.

It's funny how everyone is basing their opinions on this can art when the recovered back sprite shows it looks very different. It only had 1 horn, and had some kind of back spikes or possibly a mane.

Could have looked like absolute shit. This design is just some random Mexicans interpretation of the back sprite. Which looked like literal nonsense.

It's tradition at this point so it's unlikely to change outside of temporary gimmick forms like Megas or Gigantamax. I think that someone at Game Freak went on record saying they'd worry it'd make things too complex or something. It's been a while. Either way it's technically possible but undesirable for a variety of reasons.
