>>54697497This is the correct answer. The minute pikachu became the mascot was the moment Goruchu died forever. If Raichu don’t have genwun privilege grandfathers in it would have been dexcut forever as well. Gen 2 got stuck with Pichu instead because Pichu is a worthless baby that could never overshadow Pikachu.
Absolute Retards like
