>>54347756Pikachu is horse shit and is literally insignificant in the games, the ashnime has been hated by everyone that actually played the games, the "main charatcer" in pokemon does nothing, no decisions and doesnt even speak how can anyone with taste like it? And then charizard at least is cool.
also the anime had basically nothing to do with the games. what gamefreak wanted to portray in the games in the anime became baby shit. So gamefreak giving pikachu new things was a omedirectional favor to the anime. the only thing the anime gave the games is ash greninja. literal nonsense garbage.
