Tell me /vp/ what exactly was the point of this thing?

Moichandisin'.

Seriously, most of the babies have been created first and foremost to be cute toy/anime mascot fodder; in-game utility is typically a bonus or a happy accident. I guarantee it.

demonstrating the powers of breeding effectively I'd say

But Pikachu already exists for that exact same purpose.

This thing is completely redundant.

Noop. Always gotta have new kyoot things. Always. And it being a babby of something old means they don't have to be as creative.

Neither you nor I like it, but it was created for a reason. Hell, I don't even think it's as cute or Pikachu or Raichu.

To show off breeding mechanics, they made Pichu and a number of other baby Pokemon like Elekid and Magby

An excuse for a new melee character and baby pokemon that will only be useful when it levels up and maybe get good attack and to be put in a movie.In other words be a place holder for an extra pikachu

To get Nasty Plot on Pikachu?

>>27283646
We have Pichu the doll, Pichu the cereal, Pichu the flamethrower!

>>27283598
To give me a boner

To be fair, while most baby Pokémon are pointless, Magby was worth it because of how cute it is.

>>27283598
Sweet sweet merch

Baby pokemon were dropped pretty hard it seems. You really got to go out of your way to get the newer ones with incenses
